Gantry Crane ... Modified- Wider Taller Skinner Smoother operation Harbor Freight

Evidently the guy at Harbor Freight that said "it wouldn't fit", hasn't seen your videos. Yes, I want one.

When I had bought my HF gantry several years ago I had purchased two hoists to use with it. It makes it much easier to load and unload larger items.

I have one with 2 chain hoists in a 14' foot ceiling for 5 years. 2 hoists much nicer to lift than trying to balance loads. Once loads are level you can use one hand for both chains to go up or down synced up. Nice for loading pickup beds. Like your vids.

I used these for years in factories. You either used a gantry or a jib. Gantry goes a lot farther in a small shop. I lifted the whole front of my car to do brakes and suspensiond back in the early 80s. All you had to do was put something like an old boat cushion between the chain and the bumper in a friends tool and die shop.

I've been wanting to build a Gantry crane for a while now.

Skinnier, handy little unit

You should add a couple extra pulleys and some more cable so one crank can lift both posts at the same time. So you don’t fatigue the welds on the top plates over time.

How bout a thin metal flashing roof on the thing to keep most of the rain out?

Great video thanks !

While Mary Ann often ranks over Ginger.... Ginger is rocking it. Great video thanks.

Fortunately for me, I inherited a home with a huge garage that I could put 3 class A motor homes in. It also already had a huge Crain lift in the garage too. They certainly do come in handy more often than one would think! I don’t have two Crain on it, but I do have a smaller wench hooks up to my ceiling in the garage for lifting lighter weight. It’s a 3 bay garage and these are in 2 of the bays. Works out pretty well for my needs so far! Especially considering I didn’t have to pay for anything who can complain? 😂

Another good one Moe. I always love watching you come up with solutions and the cool tools.

Very nice my Friend! Gantry's are so handy and versatile. Cheers! Zip~

I do want one! Getting two hoists was pretty smart

All I can say is WOW!! You are so creative!!

Moe, you're lucky to have Ginger as a Supervisor. Have a great weekend!

Pretty cool making it work for the house and space

Yes I want one for sure. Good to hear it is good quality.

Pretty sweet! You can now fix up that '65 Ford that I see in your garage lol, I would love to see you do a series on putting it together like you did with the VW

I like that ladder hoist setup. It comes in handy.
