Area Representative paul richards Posted November 2, 2017 Area Representative Share Posted November 2, 2017 Chain hoist which I have used for many years to lift engines. Now surplus to requirements and free to anyone who can make use of it. You just need somewhere to hang it from. Heavy so collection from North Manchester or I can take to AR meeting in 2 weeks time.

Leadership Team Shortshift Posted November 4, 2017 Leadership Team Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi PaulWhat sort of height does it need to be hung from, if you see what I mean?James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted November 6, 2017 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi James Apologies for delay in responding. Not sure whether you are concerned about it needing to be very high or not. Hoist is currently hanging from a timber beam in my garage. Beam is just over 7 feet high. The body of the hoist (hanging below the beam) is around 9 inches. It could work from a lower fitting (probably less than 6 feet) and as there is plenty of chain length could work from much higher (possibly as high as 10 feet). Quite happy to bring it along to conference for you to view. I could throw in the tip, but it would be a shame to do so as I'm sure it will be useful to someone. I will e-mail you a couple of pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Shortshift Posted November 6, 2017 Leadership Team Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi PaulThanks. The beam in my garage is quite high so that sounds promising. But I will have to check (tomorrow now) that it doesn't sit at the apex of the roof (with no room above it for the chain to pass through). But if the beam arrangement is suitable I'd like to take it, please, and in return I'd make a contribution to RaD.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted November 6, 2017 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 6, 2017 JamesChain doesn't go over the beam. I have just used a piece of flat bar bent over my timber beam. I'm sure you can be adapted to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
