Can anyone recommend a hoist of this type that will straddle a Bridgeport or
similar machine? Thanks!

I'm on my 3rd 2-ton import engine hoist. My current one is just like the
one
you reference. It works great and has a small footprint but it is
suboptimal
in one way -- there isn't very much clearance between the legs. My old one
could easily straddle a Bridgeport base but my new one can barely work.
I'm
going to make my own pretty soon but then I've been saying that for years
:-)
