Bridge crane for your garage.

admin

Anybody need a 90' span x 125' 14 ton overhead double box girder Bridge Crane.  Got called to look at removing some steel. They've bought a building that was a fabrication business and going to use it for something different. They want to remove the rails and leave the bridge nested at one end. They couldn't find anyone interested in the complete crane. This crane was operating till about 30 days ago. We're going to remove the rails and columns and stack outside. This has to happen in the next 30 days or so before tenant improvements start. It was sold by Canco Cranes,  Vancouver BC.  Not sure what it's worth, but bet it could be had reasonable. If interested let me know and I can put you in touch and could help with logistics if needed. This is located about 50 miles south of Seattle WA

Reply:Good reason to add on to the shop.
Reply:Oversized2Thanks for the 'heads-up'. Your info has been forwarded to a NW Crane Broker of long standing.Over the years - I have seen cranes sold for scrap because 'the developers' had no 'interest/understanding' - of their worth.Often: there is so much money in the design/remodel - 'making it new' - that  everything previous is considered junk.Opus
Reply:They just yanked a bunch of those from the local paper mill while doing a tear down of the old buildings.  The bridges were basically a set of parallel beams spaced about 4 feet apart with the carriage running between.  Contractor couldn't sell them as a crane (too old) and the only interest was from scrappers but they were snapped up almost instantly when he advertised them as possibly making the base beams of a true "car" bridge across someone's creek or gully.Sometimes you have to think out of the box and give people an idea of the true value.Or as the Old Mac's Surplus (Kirkland WA) business cards said back in the 70's:"Society of scroungers and snafflers of real keen junk and neat stuff of inestimable value when used for any purpose other than that for which it was originally intended"

Reply:Originally Posted by SquirmyPugBuy it Dave! A crane inside is great.. A crane outside is great.. A crane you can move things in the shop AND take the garbage to the street is awesome! Use it to move cars in the yard to maximize space when having a party.. The possibilities are endless
Reply:We have 2 overhead cranes inside the workshop and 2 outside, not sure how we would work without them
