<DIV>Scott,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For a trolley I would prefer a gear-driven, manual type. The straight
manual types are too hard to move precisely, and the electrics are expensive and
unnecessary unless you're frequently handling material. Here's a link for
a 3-ton, however if you'll scroll down you'll see a 5-ton for $100 more. I
agree with Alec and would go for the 5-ton. Your gantry is
4-ton. <A

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Harbor Freight has a 5-ton hoist for $140, and Northern Tool's 5-ton hoists
start at $200. You're going to have a sweet set-up.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>The one that broke was a 2 ton Harbor Freight. I now use a 3 ton
and its been fine. They also have a 5 ton, which I would suggest for a K350.
These things are cheap and there is little price difference between them, but
the're really heavy and I like taking the hoist down when not needed, to get
all the chain out of the way. If you use a 5 ton, you will probably want to
leave it in place because it weights about 80 lbs. I can reach up with the 3
ton hoist and click it onto the crane, but it weighs 50 lbs so is getting near
my limit. Which all goes to prove that if you have a K350 instead of a K250,
you'll have to spend more time at the gym.

<DIV>Scott, I just bought a generic trolley and hoist (Harbor Freight). The
trolley needs to fit your beam size (mine was adjustable) and I chose
ratings over what I expected. <BR><BR> I didn't considered an electric
vs. manual hoist at the time but you might add that to your
considerations.<BR><BR></DIV>Steve<BR></DIV>

<DIV>I just purchased a gantry lift on craigslist in Texas. It doesn't
have a trolley or chain hoist though. I started looking on the internet
and there is a huge range of trolleys and chain hoists. Does anyone have a
suggestion what to get and where to get it?</DIV>
