I'm just about to pour a concrete floor in my 80' x 20' pole barn (steel poles), and I want to install a crane and hoist so I can pull the motors on my big 1950T Olivers, my Kenworth semi and a D7 Cat dozer.

I'm considering a floor-mount jib crane with a hand trolley and a hand-chain hoist; about 3000 lbs.

Any thoughts on where to get something like this?

Would you buy used? Where would you find something like this used?

I have used many types of cranes in the past.Yes , we would all like a bridge crane in our shops , but can not afford one.The next best thing would be a jib crane.I've used many different designs of jib cranes.This is how I'm doing my jib crane:Before pooring the floor , I am going to dig a hole about 5--6 feet into the ground.Pick a spot near the wall.Set a 6" heavy wall steel pipe in the hole , and fill with concrete.Have the pipe reach the ceiling.About 2-1/2---3 feet from the top of the pipe , I'm going to weld luggs onto the 6" pipe for pivoting the I-Beam which the trolly would travel on.Attach a rod or cable at the top of the 6" pipe.Attach the other end to the top of the I-Beam ---about 2/3 the lenth from the pivot point.Make sure the 6" pipe is as plumb as possible.If not , the I-Beam will always want to swing on it's own to the low spot , making the jib crane hard to control.By setting the 6" pipe into the ground , you save lots of room.The base of a floor mount jib crane takes up a lot of valuable floor space.
