Davo J, Nice crane. I'd like to have one but my garage has 8 foot ceilings. There is a finished room above so I can't remove the ceiling. I used an engine hoist to move my 3 in 1. I'm looking forward to more of your posts. Good job. SAM |

Great job Davo , a very pro looking piece of kit , that will save you allot of heavy lifting . Thanks for posting more photos , looks like i have another project :proj: Cheers Rob |

Great work indeed! :thumbup: My new shop will be a very lightly built garage but I hope I can make something at least good enough to handly my four jaw which really does pucker the sphincter somewhat. :coffee: |
| Davo J:
Rob, One tip is when building one of theses you have to allow for flex. Instead of the crane being square it's opened up about 5mm in 2400mm too allow for flex. I picked that one up off one of the manufactures web sites. Davo |

Hi Dave TOP TIP MATE :thumbup: :bow: :bow: :bow: A very good point , as if you had 500kgs on the end it would be just about impossible to slide it back along the jib as you would be going up hill . Thanks for that , cheers Rob |
