He Installed Overhead Cranes From Harbor Freight In His Shop
Michael Myers, Kirbyville, Texas: “I use a 30-ft. sq. shop to do maintenance work on my tractors and other equipment. The shop’s small size means I’m often cramped for space. So I built several features into the shop to provide more room.
“I bought 4 overhead cranes from Harbor Freight and installed them in the shop. The cranes ride on tracks spaced about 8 ft. apart and have a capacity of 880 to 1,500 lbs. apiece. I’m 67 years old, so it’s getting harder to bend up and down when performing maintenance work on riding mowers. I use the cranes to lift the mowers onto my rolling table, where I can work on them at a comfortable working height. The cranes cost $120 to $140 apiece.”
