[Shop-talk] gantry crane - a frame

[John Niolon]

I've got a gantry crane/ a-frame  that's is taking up real estate and needs to
find a new home.  Haven't used it in a long time and thinking about
Craigslisting it...   8' high with a 11.5' span and mobile on 9" swivel cast
iron wheels...   It's home built using a 6" H-beam, 2.5" pipe legs with
bracing to hold it all together.  Haven't got a clue on rating, but it's seen
a 2000-2500 lbs with no strain.

My problem is what is it worth... I see the commercial units for a grand or
better.  H.F. has one with two vertical legs and  rated at 1 ton for about
650.

I can send pics if anyone is interested in seeing it.....   Any ideas what it
might be worth ???  what to ask for it on C.L. ???
