I want to build a gantry for my shop so that I can attach a hoist to the
cross beam and be used for various lifting tasks around the shop. I also
want to have wheels on the gantry so that it can be moved out of the way.
I thought about constructing it from two I-beams that are 20' long. One of
the beams would be cut in half and form the uprights to give me a lift
height of about 10'. The other beam would be cut in a 10' piece for the top
section and the remaining 10' piece would be cut in half to form the
outrigger legs. I plan to attach some type of wheels to each end of the
legs. I want the lift to accommodate about 1,000 lbs.
Does anyone have any construction plans for a similar gantry? Any thoughts
on construction?
