That is a VERY mobile gantry crane. Not just sitting on some casters that will only roll on smooth concrete. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎
Hey cool! Can you provide a link? I’d like to see that. The crane was designed this way simply because I had lots of this pipe on hand for cheap and the mobile home axle. I needed a way to lift the concrete pads into the shed. Lifting a propane tank in a later video proved its usefulness too. I have noted that an adjustable height hitch is necessary to keep the crane perpendicular to the ground. Break away chains are another addition to add…
Dude.. I Love your build! Ive been pondering for the longest time on building a gantry for my shop but still havent decided.. I love the mobility of yours!! I have three chainfalls from 1000 lb to 1 big harington 3 tonner so not short on chainfalls. What do you think max is on yours? I also looked at "YT Cut & Weld gantry build" that kids perty smart too!! Thanks for the build! L.T. Dan
Thanks! The flaw with this design is hitch height causing the legs to be angled. That can be remedied with an adjustable hitch though. I really like the gantry cranes in junk yards that look like a shop crane but with brush hog wheels for casters. I would prefer something like that for outside work and put a hitch on the side of the A frame leg.
Thanks. It was originally to move those concrete pads in this video. Then it was used for lifting a propane tank in this video. It is really versatile. m.ruclips.net/video/u6lgwN0jOwQ/видео.html

Terrific idea for the rear brace being removable !

Yes those were the days he says before he got a wife & kids , now it all sits there rusting away . Great work though , thumbs up .
For the nose caster I would recommend building a high load off road caster as trailer jack wheels just suck otherwise great equipment

Nice work, looks pretty useful.
NIce project - Looks especiallly handy!
Looks great! And very useful. Thanks for sharing! If it's not too personal, what do you use it for, mostly?

Just incredibly brilliant!!!! I am inspired....
excellent
Cool
keep up the good work
Do you intend to hoist a T Rex with it ?😅
It lifted a propane tank weighing about 2,000 lbs. That has been the most. The lifting point was built after this video to prevent kinking the pipe
👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍
I use a sky hook for those remote jobs..
An older tractor with a front in loader would be better plus it has a lot more uses just saying
