Poster of Photograph of Hoist to Mezzanine Level

[Lionelgee]

Hello All,

Earlier this year someone posted up a couple of photographs of a hoist they had made to lift heavy objects from the ground up onto a mezzanine level in their shed.

I meant to copy the link down and ask the person about it. That was a while ago and where I thought the link was posted turned out to be incorrect. To jog people's memory I recall the photograph was accompanied by one of an engine lift mounted on a horizontal pivot, that was attached to a steel shed post.

Could the person who posted the photographs, or anyone who knows the post please step forward? It would be great if the Permalink to the posting could be copied into the reply too Thank you in advance.


Kind Regards
Lionel

Hi Lionel

Is this the one you are thinking of ?


Little more information on my web page http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/Tools.html

If so this is the lift I built for my barn back in 2003. Based on electric hoist, with barn door track for the guide rails, 2x2inch box tubing frame.

Makes moving things up and down stairs to the loft of the barn much easier and make the loft really usable for active projects. Will lift 1200LBS easily platform big enough for one of my engine test stands with engine.

One of its more more day to day uses though is as a adjustable work bench in the shop, great for getting stuff to right height for working comfortably. Great for small parts like whole CMP axle assemblies.

It has a insulated shaft cover that is picked up as the lift cage reaches the loft. Covers the hole so you don't fall through and keeps the heat in the shop during the winter.

If anybody has questions ask away.

Cheers Phil

G'day Phil,

Yes that is it!

Thank you very much for taking time to find the post and replying.

I will copy the link and store it away this time. Questions to follow.

Kind Regards

G'day Phil,

Can you please let me know what thread you originally posted those photographs up on?

It may have had something to do with putting an engine back into a CMP without having to take the whole cabin off - just the nose instead. There was something else in the thread that piqued my interest. You know one of those "I must go back and look for that" moments. Soon as see it I will remember what it was

Kind Regards
Lionel

Hi Lionel

I remember the thread you are talking about but you know I can't find it.

Cheers Phil

I don't know if this will be the thread you were thinking of with Phil's hoists but it does show several images of the hoists in use. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ighlight=hoist
Another possible (post in which Phil used the word "hoist") would be http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ighlight=hoist I was too lazy to check the 57 pages to see what the exact use would have been.

Hello Phil and Grant,

Thank you both for the reply and some tips as to where the link might be. I chased those links up and did not quite get there. I did enjoy the messages about the HUP and the Lincoln though!

I had another look and found the message amongst Tony Baker's excellent Ford Restoration project. Only 54 pages of it. Yep another Aussie

Luckily I searched from page 50 to current times as I thought the posting was fairly recent! The link is - accessed May 19th 2006 from http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...postcount=1646.

Plus I found the other photographs I was after too. If at first you don't succeed .... Thanks for your help guys

Kind Regards
Lionel
