![]() 2947 forum posts 468 photos | When I converted my garage to a 'Hobby shop' I'd bought a 1 ton engine hoist from M/Mart ( usual disclaimer applies ) in preparation for lifting lathe & mill, well worth it, trouble is I've now filled the 'Hobby shop' & having stacked the hoist in a corner I doubt if I could get it out now, & if I could I doubt I would have the room to manouvre it for use should I move... conundrum ?

7227 forum posts 21 photos | One of the advantages of a folding crane, is that having lower the load to it's final location, the legs can be folded and the thing becomes much more easily moved through narrow gaps. Without that facility, my crane would have spent the last 17 years over the lathe! I shall have to write a set of instruction on how to move stuff out of the workshop, after I have moved to the workshop above. The lathe was first in, so must be last out. Howard |
