Was looking around at hospital rooms and discussing hardware with our daughter and noticed that overhead cranes of 1,000 lb. capacity are common as dirt. When older hospitals are being torn down there should be a HUGE number of used OHCs coming out that nobody building another hospital (in North America) would likely want.



I am sure being medical equipment the new prices are astronomical, but hey: this is GJ and we can repurpose when they turn into "junk"

1000 lb. capacity may not sound like much by more 40 year old battery powered 1k has served me EXTREMELY well and now I have built a second at closer to 1500 lb. capacity so I can turn stuff over with 2 cranes.

Don't ask.
I picked up my 2 ton engine lift for under $100 (used), new it was probably $200-300.
Similar (though 1/2 capacity) at you link is over $6000
