Old Rolling Gantry

[wewiserangers]

I have an old rolling gantry in the back of the barn that came from a local ag shop. It looks pretty old, about 8' wide. Rather than I beam it's more of a U channel construction.

I'm curious if anyone knows the manufacturer and weight rating or how the cable or chains ran through the pulleys.

I'm going to redo it for use in our small farm shop. I'm just curious of it's origin.

Pulling it out and power washing it might reveal some manufacturer markings.

I wire wheeled it down last time I used it but didn't find anything obvious.
