I highly recommend this shop crane:

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/OTC-1814-Capac.../dp/B00291AOU4

It is so much better than my old trusty Harbor Freight crane, it is
amazing.

1. Can lift 6,000 lbs to a great height, over 11 feet.
2. Electric hydraulic, two speed pump
3. The rear wheel swivels, as opposed to the front wheels, meaning
easier and safer to maneuver.
4. What this crane needs, for sure, is a large, and very flat, floor.

I have been moving stuff around the building, with it, it moves 1,000
lbs things like nothing.

At about $10K it oughta be!

Replacing the crappy casters on the Harbor Freight engine hoist with
some better quality ones makes a big improvement. It's still a harbor
Freight unit, but at least you can move and steer it.


True, this is what I did with my HF crane. I did not, of course, buy
that crane for $10k, I would not be able to afford that. But what I am
saying is that if you do come across something like that, snag it
right away, if you have the room and a flat floor.
