temp pic post

[Charles (in GA)]

Temporarily posting pics. I'm using this thread to hold uploaded pics to reference in PM discussions mostly, as you cannot include pics in PMs like you do regular posts. I'm saving the pics as I find them useful in discussions from time to time in various threads.

Deleted badly sized pics and re posted in post below. PM is old and has been deleted anyhow.

Adding more pics to reference in a discussion with someone in a PM.

PM's don't allow pics to be uploaded to them like regular posts, so I upload here and post img links to them in the PM.

Posting pics for a PM discussion on my Portable Gantry crane.

Notes not included in drawing: Vertical riser has 10 ea 1-1/16" holes spaced 6 inches apart (5 ft of adjustment)

Dimensions do not include the casters, as they are a variable.

Forgot to include top plate width or clamp plate dimensions. Top plate is 7 wide and 15 long 1/4 plate. Clamp plates are 3x15 each and are 3/8" thick. Square spacer is welded to clamp plates and is ½x½ stock. Use grade 8 bolts ½-13 with flanged nuts.

I beam is 8 in tall, 1/4 " web and 4" flanges, American Standard 8 x 18.4 beam. This beam is 12 ft long. most of this same design are now 15 ft with this beam.

Tubing all appears to be 3/16 thick wall.

You can probably buy one of these cheaper than you can make it, unless you happen to have the materials already.

Searches for "portable gantry crane" will bring up the sites for Wallace and several others, who make this same design.

You want this as tall as possible, ceiling in shop permitting, as you have the trolley and hoist hanging from it and you don't want that stuff bumping you in the head.
