Anyone know anything about loading formulas & trusses? I'm thinking about an I beam all the way across the shop ceiling with a hoist and roller for moving large stuff across the shop. I'd either have

Hi Robert, I posted a similar question a while back, and a sizable portion of the list recommended against a ceiling hoist in favor of a folding shop crane (the 1 to 2 ton wheeled engine cranes avail

Best source is something like "Machinery's Handbook" - most libraries have it. There are many, many formulae in there. Analyze your situation and pick the right one. Your trusses constructed of 2x4's

Just a couple of thoughts on engine hoists. Get spare chains with hooks so you can pick up things besides a motor. Different hoists will have a different spread between the horizontal legs that go ba

I have a shop crane. Problem is, there are two functions I'd like to have that it can't be used for. One is moving an engine to/from a clean area in the shop. This can be easily fixed with an engine

Having used both, I like the ceiling hoist a bit better. The main advantage is that the legs on the HF folding shop crane are too high off the ground to slide under the front of either of my British

I'd always used ceiling hoists, pushing the car back and forth as needed. A shop crane looked like it would be more useful, so I bought one. I barely had room to maneuver it, and when I wasn't using

How about a "gantry" crane. I was looking at them for an application at my work. They look kind of like a swing set but with wheels on the bottom of each leg. They come in different length spans to

They have these in the Travers catalog. They seem to run about $1000 to $1600 or so, in 1 to 3 ton capacities, with varied height ranges. I'd have to pull a lot of engines to justify that over a regu

A while back this same thread came up. Several suggested building a gantry crane with I-Beams. If your shop was narrow enough - say, 25 feet max - you can span the ceiling with an I-beam, support by

That was essentially my plan but to run an I beam above/on the ceiling trusses and suspend a second from that. Looks like the appropriate solution is to run one hefty beam across the short dimension
