  • Building this DIY tool for my woodworking material handling has made my life so much easier. Buying a system like this can cost thousands of dollars! in this video, I DIY a gantry track system for my Izzy vacuum lift for a small fraction of the cost of expensive store-bought ones.

    Izzy, you could use a mitered joint for the transition from one strut to the next to lessen shock by only one roller encountering joint. This has been use on all types of track systems including train rail for decades. I used the same on a set of rolling doors for a dark room with limited space.

    UNISTRUT makes channels specifically for their trolleys. They are deeper so you can use simple carriage bolts. No need to drillI. I installed 4 channels on ceiling rafters in my garage. If you purchase a unistrut catalog, it’ll give you weight ratios . I put two channels side by side, and combined two trollies to get up to 700 pounds

      I think the point was doing it more budget friendly. Unistrut is more expensive

      @@jgclark45, good point, but I'm pretty sure that Izzy's track is Unistrut. They do offer different dimensional pieces, and the price difference sometimes seems dramatic. I was satisfied using Izzy's approach when I built my lift a couple of years ago, except for needing to rust-proof the drilled holes for exterior use.

    @izzy Thanks for sharing this idea. Back in the 90s I had the Bogan rail system made by Manfrotto for my photo studio lighting very similar to this setup . You might want to check it out for more ideas. again thanks for always inspiring and being such an awesome creator.👍

    Thanks for this valuable idea. I think this could be very useful in my shop and a similar setup in my barn.
    Questions: what did you use for the end stop on the end of the channel and what did you use for the sliders that held up the cord? I'd love to see more details on that. Thanks.

    Are you sure the trolley will not pass the screw heads? Your demo showed the trolley and track upside down. When turned over and placed on the ceiling I suspect the trolley will clear.

    @IzzySwan could you have a welder attach rebar dowels on either side of the track and then bolt the outside dowels into the ceiling instead of screwing through it?

  • @unionse7en
    @unionse7en Год назад

    @3:33 One needs to do the calculation based on the span of the screws* holding the channel to the wood, as well as what that wood is attached to. (find the weakest link) Also considers what happens if one screw fails ("zipper" situation).

    Izzy bro u are one crazy bastd.. Ur moobs are hurting? hahahahahaha! U have good ppl round u there too I see so big shoutout to the 2 young ppl who helped build the gantry system. My shop is too small bro but I might look at building a smaller version in the future. It's always good to have some form of lift system in a shop to help lift those bigger tools off the floor when needed.
    200 bucks is relatively cheap for the hoist system u bought. I expected it to be more expensive.

  • @daviddickerson3422
    @daviddickerson3422 Год назад

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like that you were checking the roller clearance on the wrong surface, that is, against the top of the unistrut, when you should have held the roller against the "U" surface to see if it would clear the Screw.

    I'm in the process of building a new shop and now I have a dilemma. I was originally going to span a monorail I beam down the middle so I can essentially do the same thing you are doing here. While I'm sure this setup is much cheaper, do you see an advantage of your track system over an I beam?

    • @seanflanagan2441
      @seanflanagan2441 Год назад

      I-beam would be much stronger, but Izzy needed motion in both front-to-back and side-to-side. Your I-beam would need to be on its own gantry if you wanted sideways motion.
