Happy new Year to you too!

Plus wear a hardhat, eye protection, and a protective cup.

Do you tow it brakes on or off? lol

Front brakes off, rear brakes on. Gotta keep some drag so it doesn't spin on you. :-)

@@lwilton Also make sure the driver is properly belted(or bolted) in for safety.

Yep casters should go first.

Got to be sure they are safe! :-)

@540 MUDSTAIN Well seeing as how those codes say they are for top running and this is a bottom slung setup I guess they do not.

@540 MUDSTAIN I looked at the codes and it is for cranes like the one in my shop. I could not find any references to this portable style. It is most closely represented by ASME b30.17 however most of what is in those codes applies to the hoist part itself. I only supplied a steel structure with a load rating there was no hoist mechanism involved. The structure was tested as per the codes with 125% + load on all possible positions and it passed. This is in accordance with OSHA 1910.179. It will be up to the customer to install their proper sized hoists and be sure that they meet the crane requirements as I did not provide them a crane, only a structure.

Thanks! I try to keep the videos interesting but there are still people that like to watch the machines cut too so I try to mix it up.

Jerry- You are so right! One thing I have always found is that 99% of all the "experts" that always find something wrong have no content on their channel... Go figure! =)

ScoutCrafter that doesn’t negate good advice. Honestly, if the title of the video says ‘don’t do this’ there must be a reason. By his own admission some of the advice in his previous video was good advice.

No lazy sleeping Americans here!! Maybe Baily is part German. lol

None here either Brian but I am sometimes amazed at the lack of work ethic in some, not all, of younger generations. The best we can do is set good examples. I learned early on if I wanted something I had to work to get it. My parents gave no allowance except a place to sleep and food on the table. Even working for my dad in his many business endeavors over the years I earned no wage. It was just expected of us and we had no complaints.

Send me your specs and a check and I will get right on it! :-)

I am sure it will pull everybit if 500lbs.

@@bcbloc02 put that dynamometer on it and give it a tug....

Sitting flat on the floor makes it way more stable than having casters. but yeah it is more than enough for the job. :-)Welcome to the channel, I hope you enjoy!

+ add 370 for the deck!

fowletm1992 there one group that will never be impressed, public, or product, liability insurance companies. God luv em , not!

@@chrisstephens6673 He is an engineer If he's filled in the paper work and done the sums the Insurance compamys don't give a crap if a lawn mower can drag it Untill someone does something stupid with it amd dies like drag it with a lawn mower Lol

You must have missed the point that it is a portable crane and never intended to be used to transport loads around. The video was to prove that despite the claims of many the cranes would not fail from the lack of a diagonal brace.

The naysayers don't bother me any. :-)

That's a good attitude to have.

I did but when I say Hey Guys Brian here in space nobody hears me!! lol

No it isn't rated for that, nor is it tall enough to go over the Carlton even. :-)

In full scale machine shops. :-)

How would they get the camber into the beams? Arched with a big hydraulic press?

bcbloc02: Yes. Many steel suppliers can do it, as do the larger crane manufacturers who build cranes using rolled sections, as they can install a press. Many times they need to straighten/camber long sections anyhow. The press has two hold-downs fixed to the floor, far apart, and a large jack in the middle. They also straighten/camber RR Car center sills this way. On cranes over ten tons, they generally build box beams, and they add the camber during fabrication. As an example, on a sixty-foot span, it is only about 3/8" camber, as the center span is 30 feet. You calculate the deflection at mid-span, and you have to use the total weight, beam + trolley/hoist + load. The Machinery's Handbook has the formulas for deflection using weight, and you can use a rolled section catalog to find a beam with the correct section modulus, like the old Bethlehem catalogs. This is why you find the trolly hard to move, because of the downward sag from the load, but of course, that was overloaded. To get the gantry to roll on the floor easier, you'll need larger diameter wheels, especially ones that the tires won't mash flat on the bottom under the weight. The book is titled Whiting Crane Handbook, but it is expensive if you can find a copy. They're out of print. They used to send them out free, which is where I received mine. There seems to be a copy on Scribd: www.scribd.com/document/103269401/Whiting-Crane-Handbook I think that you might be able to find the CMAA handbooks on Scribd also. For about a 20 foot span, the deflection should be about 1/8" at 10 feet in the center, and at a 10-foot span, about 1/16".

Max Deflection is .15" at 6000lb and .1" at rated load this is total system casters and all. The trolley has two wheels with bearings not very good which makes it not want to roll. I had never used the thing before as it is too small for any of the beams in my shop. With a good trolley it should roll fine. The crane is designed to be portable it is not designed to lift and haul loads. The track style is far superior if you want to try to move loads with one.

In the comments of the other video, yes.

Mainly I have to put the entire ceiling in and insulate it. Also I have to finish painting the outside and paint/seal the roof.

Yes it is a heat tretaing oven for large parts. i can do a 6cyl diesel crankshaft in it.

For the right price this one could be yours! It even comes with my special tuning. :-)

ebay, I bought these in a lot, they didn't appear to have anymore.

Thanks

You likely can cipher thru the video and determine what the materials are, and I gave the cut dimensions. I am afraid to post the details because of liability as I don't want people to think this is a one size fits all kit. I would gladly build one for anybody that wants one. :-)

@@bcbloc02 smart reply! I can see some goofball buying cheap steel with a fraction of the load rating as this, and even if they follow your process identically, it fails with a fraction of the weight and they say it's your fault. Some folks really ARE zombies. They're walk-in, but they're pretty dadgum brain dead.😝😂🤣😂🤣

If they can pass that they can pass anything! LMAO

David Loftis same here. Brian can you give details on the iron?

Brian: Add me to the list i would love the dimensions of the steel. I never doubted your build from the beginning. Thanks for sharing

@@bcbloc02 I understand that thank you

I stamped 4000lb max load on the top beams, they also will get painted with big letters marking such.

Well you must not have seen many then as many of them don't. www.beatonindustrial.com/overhead-bridge-crane/gantry-crane/

Nothing with spark plugs!!!

a lil gas six would be EPIC u could do one in ur sleep

You must be new to my channel. That is my radial arm drill, it has a whole series on here of its own.

If you can't look at a paused frame of tree video and figure out the 2-3 materials needed, you should not attempt to build anything that carries a load.
