Message: <blockquote data-quote="modus5" data-source="post: 11123" data-attributes="member: 1305">Well, I have been working on this crane hoist for a couple weeks now.  I finally finished up with the paint.  Tomorrow will be the test date.  I decided to go with a crane instead of a telescopic boom.  I figured if I get the angles right I could still get almost 10' of reach, but still be able to pick close to my machine keeping the arms low.  I'm pretty sure it'll hold up well.  I used heavy wall tubing, 1/2' plate for mounts, bushings grease fitting on the main pivot.  I did use bolts for the cylinder pins.  They are bushed and lubed, and I figured it is easy enough to pull them and grease them or replace as necessary.  Anyway here are some pics, I will post more tomorrow after I connect up the lines and wrap it up.  <img src="http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh254/modus5/HPIM0195.jpg?t=1199761506" alt="HPIM0195.jpg picture by modus5" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 665px" /><img src="http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh254/modus5/HPIM0200.jpg?t=1199761606" alt="HPIM0200.jpg picture by modus5" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 665px" /><img src="http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh254/modus5/HPIM0202.jpg?t=1199761630" alt="HPIM0202.jpg picture by modus5" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 665px" /><img src="http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh254/modus5/HPIM0204.jpg?t=1199761663" alt="HPIM0204.jpg picture by modus5" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 665px" /></blockquote>
