I have also been toying with the idea of a mobile gantry crane. Basically an I-beam supported on each end by an A-frame on wheels. I would need it wide enough to straddle the tray on my ute (pick up). I was given a 2 ton chain block that would be ideal and I found a set of plans off a web site from a US company who sells them, so I am confident that the 4000lb rating will be accurate.
