overhead bridge crane

[Dry Creek Smithing]

Frank,
I love your overhead lift project. Years ago I worked in a truck shop We had two of these type of beasts in the shop. Between the two they covered the whole shop floor. We could could disassemble a truck in now time. Breaking it down to just bare frame rails in a matter of a few hours by lifting off and away the large components. Weight and mass seemed a non-issue with those two pieces of equipment. We were spoiled! You are going to love your new addition to your shop. Thanks for the great pictures of the process. Not an easy task while building. I would get so focused on the task that I'd forget to take shots of each step.
Wonderful work and great secondary use of material as well. Many of my friend don't get my "Stuff". They call it Junk, trash, scrap!

I've seen it posted on this site some where maybe your thread...
"It's not junk! It is inventory for future projects!".
Well said!!!
