I will weld a lip the old Jack Base will slip under to keep it from lifting up or sliding to the sides. Took the Engine Hoist Base and sat it on the Spreader Bar Frame and it fit just right into the Channel Steel and left me room to make a bracket for bolting to the Fork Lift Frame. Fit great it still needs the pulley mount welded on under the middle of the channel steel. I slipped the Spreader Bar I made on the Forks and bolted it on. ![]() Like a second Dad to me that I never had growing up, he died when I was only 11 years old.ĭid the Mock Up now I know what I need to buy in steel Spent 34 years doing stuff with him married to his Daughter! I wired 2 of his new custom homes he had built. I do miss his knowledge but I kept his notes and books on the subjects. ![]() That why it was so hard to build stuff with him he was a perfectionist!! He could tell me what the steel needed to be, how thick, safety ratio you name it on building the boom. He worked on the First Air Force 1 for Nixon too and more stuff about it put away. I have a Piolets Owners Manual to Fly the 747 and a complete blueprint to the structural build on it. My Daughter has the original wooden model of the hinge and paten papers. He got a paten for the system and sold it to Boeing to use. He told me how he cam up with a high pressure cylinder that had a pin to pieced the cylinder top seal to blow the door open and fill the chute and not require voltage or hydraulic power to work the emergency escape method. Did the design for the 12 doors hinges on the 747 which included the escape chutes slides. It is a Poor mans Hoist but made out of a good and strong one! My Father in Law would crap seeing me do this with it! He was a top design Engineer for Boeing. Just steel for the Boom Assembly will add up in cost and I have it already in this just need to re/work it a little. This is a BIG Cherry Picker not some cheaper Harbor Freight one. ![]() Here is a few pictures of the Crane as it sits and it is Trussed in the right spot too!Ĭould also build another boom to slide into the Base from this Crane and make it the length I want and shove more inside the base for more strength. Neat part is the End Section can flex up higher right at the tips and be supported. Don't need much more steel to finish the project and it will serve 2 jobs instead of just a boom inside my shop for lifting. Could do that with a section of solid steel inside the tube and keeping it pined together. The Top Boom would extend the boom another 5 foot further making a boom tip 12 ft from the nose of my tractor or 7 foot past the Fork Ends!! The steel is strong enough to do the job just need to make a splice point for the boom top to become ridged. That would give me a section of 3" Box Steel sticking past the Fork Tips 2 feet. The base has a Section welded onto it for the Hydraulic Jack Base that would fit right into the Channel Iron on the Forklift Adapter and long enough to bolt to the frame too. Not ruin the Cherry Picker but this one is made out of 6' x 3" x 1/4" Box Steel base and a Top Boom made of 5' x 3" x 2" x 3/16" box steel. I got to thinking it is a Crane already and I could use parts of it to mount to the Forklift Forks also. I have this Portable 2 ton well built engine crane in my shop my Father in Law left me. Came up with a better idea for the Boom Crane on how to build it.
