Hi Willy,

Looking good! I'm always hesistant to comment on this type of device as I have been on the commerical built end (cranes) when all has failed and you just won't believe all that happens when the twisted broken metal stops moving.

A nice personal addition might be a couple 1" pipe stiff arms for a load stiffener while moving. Attach one end of the pipe to the lower side support brace bolt and the other end of the pipe with chain crab hooks. A plate with a pin hole on the boom support would hold the arms when not in use.

After the load is lifted then the 1" pipe arm would swing down on either side of the load bottom then a chain (or load strap) would be attached around the load to the stiff arms chain hooks thus the bottom of the load would not swing as it's being moved.
