Anyone ever built a hoist for a 1 ton?

I have a 69 Ford F350 that has a 12 foot flatbed. I would like to put a hoist on it, but can't afford one right now. I was just wondering if someone has done this and if they have plans. It would not be used for any heavy work, it is just used to haul small loads. I have access to quite a bit of steel that I can use, but need dimensions, cylinder size, etc.

Thanks,
Bob

I used the power steering pump on my F150 to run the hoist I built for it. I put on a bigger reservoir and a selector valve. The valve is so the oil goes to the power steering or to the hoist valve. I would do it the same way if I had to do another. There was no place for a PTO on the five speed.

I bought two hoists, one with a five yard dump body above, the other just a frame only, which I turned into a rock hauler above a 7 ton wagon. The other will go on an F350, pto drive to the St. Paul hoist, for which parts are still available. Got one on an auction, $100, the other, with the dump body, from a salvage yard, for $125.

I have a 75 Ford ton truck that I put a 7 1/2' x 12' bed and hoist from a two ton. It lifted 5 1/2 tons of wet creek gravel at an idle. Found it at a boneyard and used everything that I needed from the donor truck. It was a little long for the frame so I had to make a hitch that extended back far enough to haul a trailer with it. Might be able to send a pic if I can find the family photographer. Don't remember what I paid for it...but dealt on a five ton pto winch at the same time and think I paid around $350/400 for both. The bed didn't have a repair weld on it...good shape...hoist don't even leak. Fred OH

Bob,

I found some plans in a welding project book...send me an address and I can scan them in and email or xerox and mail..

another thought... why not find an engine hoist (cherry picker) and fab a different base... ready made...good for a ton or more... only work would be the base..

just a thought

You might be able to find a good used sissor type that came off of an old flat wagon/hayrack. Most of them are pretty narrow. Don't know if it'll work or not. That still leaves you looking for a pump to fit the trans - if there is even a place to hang it. You might be better off with a small dc powered pump with a resivor.

Bob, I work my winters at a fab shop that does lots of small to large truck work. For the $, performance and safety even I wouldn't build my own for that size truck. On large trucks it's a differant story. You can buy small hoist that are ready to mount between the frame and bed and have electric pumps that are reasonably priced and easy to install. While the electric pump isn't as quick as pto, it will lift a similar load. The shop where I work sells Rugby brand that is made in Rugby, SD , I think .
