jib crane design

[atotalnincompoop]

i was thinking about mounting a jib crane on the outside of my new garage.
i'd like it to be able to lift something up from a truck or trailer and swing it around into the garage.
anyone have any pics of their setups?
thanks

Do a search in GJ. There are several good threads from the past.

This one gets the job done most of the time.

I installed a jib inside my shop and details can be found in my ASYLUM build thread (link in sig line). Just be sure you have ample mounting structure as jibs put high loads on the wall mount points - over 3 times the actual load lifted in some cases.
