It arrived on a trailer and when we looked at the shop space the conclusion was to leave it on the trailer, for now.
Need to decide on the lift first which is the reverse of what I was thinking.

I didn't take no pix, I'd have had to go find a picture taker device and those just aren't convenient &or are full of dead batteryz.
The looks like a hoist, is made of 8" I-Beam, 12+Ft tall, Base 10Ft by 6.5-Ft.
It is painted yellow

Invisoprint.

The shortening is well done and is loaded in compression and it was welded by a pro welder who is giving up his shop. Open root welds, they don't bother me at all.

I am so emotionally fulfilled that you found some redeeming value in this simple thread!
You have no idea just how much I value your input here on the OFN!
I’d try to elucidate in small words but I doubt that your digital construct is indeed capable of cognizance.
