use in-house, complete with remote control.

I suspect Iggy has time issues nowadays for stuff like that. Like

Kickass idea! I'll bet they're doing extremely well with sales.
$70k for the URW295

Thanks for the price look-up. I was curious but didn't dare look. I

I modified my 1 ton engine hoist into a miniature version of that by
adding larger wheels and a trailer coupler. Controlled tests show that
it isn't stable enough to hoist and especially move with much more
than I can dead-lift, but it lifts quite a bit higher and I'm back out
of the way. Bolt-on outrigger beams would help its stability..

It's an excellent self-loading trailer that can straddle the load and
then transport it on planks.
