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>

<div dir="ltr"><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>
