I think it's just for lifting and lowering, not moving....lift out of a trailer, move trailer, lower onto a pallet truck or sumsuch..
Pretty much. Have access issues (low doorway). The standard jeep I drove in today almost hit the bottom of the tilt door, even when I propped the door up. The clearance situation improves somewhat once one gets inside the shed.
Would not consider using it to wheel something around like a trolley. I need clearance to lower/raise items off the trailer, thats where the rams come in. His idea with the legs (base) didnt appeal to me, so made mine as shown.
From what I can make out, the original fabricator has a similar issue wrt his doorway, thus the design. It wont win any awards, but used sensibly it will serve my purposes nicely. I also have Acro props (screw jacks) to brace underneith the I beam as well if I feel I am pushing the limits.
Keeping mine to a max of 1 tonne, although the heaviest thing I will need to lift would be a lathe at around 600 Kg. No way that the trusses of the shed will take that kind of weight.
