Has anyone built their own gantry crane?
There are times when some sort of lifting device would be useful. I'm not wanting a 'dock yard' one, something light, easy to maneuver, adjustable height, and if portable that would be a bonus.
Maximum lift 500kgs (1000lbs) Thinking about it maybe 250kgs would be plenty.

Will probably have to be made from steel, I could use aluminium but it would have to be bolted together.

Any thoughts, designs Smile
