I'll check tomorrow but I think I can get you a brand new hoist and powered trolly for about $1200- $1500... probably another $150 to ship...

monstermetal Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well the outfit I was checking with sells new but surplus industrial equipment... They have a one ton Jet with a powered trolley you could have for $700 but its only got 10 foot of lift... My dad found a 2 ton single phase hoist (anohter Jet) for $750 in Idaho.... The place I am dealing with said they have another truck coming in next week and it might have a two ton and trolley... I have a buddy in the crane biz that has a 2 ton cable hoist with a powered trolley thats used... I'll try and get him to commit to a price as well..

Steve H Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Looks Great, Danger. Sorry I missed you this morning, Larry- I left you a bottle opener~~! FWIW, I've been in two shops that had powered 2-ton trolleys and while nice, I got tired of waiting minutes for them to traverse the building. I wound up going with manual trolleys and chain falls and didn't regret it. Sounds crazy, I know, but there's something old-school I like about having it off-grid. My current runway is 80' and I can whip that manual one down to the end in a fraction of the time it takes the electric. I don't mind pulling a fall either. Wax On, Wax Off~ :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermetal Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yeah the thing is loaded it's nice to have power, I hear ya on the rapid traverse though. And I got the bottle opener.... I am really going to go after openers and try and build that collection. Yours kicks a$$ steve. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Sculpture Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hey Larry thanks, I did find another Craigslist deal, a two ton with a motorized trolly only 15' lift, I might just have to buy some chain. $10 foot is the lowest I have seen thats still puts me under a grand. The monorail up top needs to motorized because of the height but my other two are manually operated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
