I want to build an A frame hoist to go in the shop. I would be interested in what others have done. How wide? What size wheels? How wide? How long should it be vs height? Thanks for the input

I would like to see some pics and get a write up on this. I am still wanting to do this in my shop. Was initially thinking of a jib crane, then considered mobile A-frame.
Thanks!

Instead of an 'A' frame, I made mine with inverted 'T' side supports made from 6x8 I beams. The overhead beam is a 6x12, eleven feet long. Wheels are made of two inch slices of 6inch pipe, welded cookies inside with solid shaft for hubs, 3/4 inch grade 8 bolts. Side supports for wheels are 3/8 flat stock. Two ton chain hoist runs on a trolley with 1/2 inch side plates, held apart with 5/8 or 3/4 inch bolts inside spacer pipes. Trolley rolls on 4 wheels made from Ford Escort front wheel spindles and cutdown drums. Drum is cut down to about 4 inch diameter. Frame takes up a lot of shop space, so I'm converting it now to span 22 feet, with an 8 inch pipe on one end, set in concrete, for a pivot post. Other end will be 8 inch pipe inverted tee, with I beam bottom. Same wheel setup, but mounted at a slight angle to follow the pivot.
