"A" frame type hoist on CL!

[930dreamer]

This one is fairly close but in a one piece setup. I'd have to cut it in half to transport.

Throw it on a car or equipment trailer the long way, strap it down good, and you should be all set. No big deal.

Don't hit the McDonalds drive-thru on the way back home.

(No pun intended.)

That is a serious gantry

About halfway up on the left side is that a weld? i was thinking if you recut it there and the same height on the other side you can get the three pieces in a 5 x 9 UHaul utility trailer? then re weld or make a couple sleeves and bolt the pieces back together?

looks like you are getting it for scrap and if you don't already own a trailer, but have a truck or car with a hitch the Uhaul utility trailer rents for $20 around here.

good luck

PS doesn't 9 foot require wide load permitting and maybe a car in front and back?

if that was local it would be in my shop in a heartbeat that would be very easy to transport

You turn it so the 9' is parallel to the road.

That's cool and heavy duty but is 8 feet really tall enough? After adding the chain hoist you would get 7 feet of lift at max I'd think. I'd love to have it but I'd put some sort of spacer plus big casters on the bottom to raise it about a foot and a half. Those I beams only look about 4 feet long so it would fit on a trailer easily like ragtop said.
