Interested in how you did you’re overhead crane in you’re shop. What are those trolleys that you used ?

You must have eagle eyes. I swear I didn't even show that part of my shop in this video! My hoist is set up as a bridge crane. I have two static I-beams that run parallel across the shop and then a traveling beam that runs along those two on two custom end truck I built from 1/4" plate, 1/4" angle iron, and wheels/axels I harvested from Harbor freight beam trolleys. On the dynamic beam, the hoist itself (electric cable hoist) is suspended from two of the HF trolleys attached together using some brackets I made from some more angle iron. I had to make the end trucks custom because I needed them to ride on the bottom flange of the beam but carry the traveling beam on top of the static beams. That configuration gave me the greatest height while still staying low enough to avoid colliding with the rafters near the eaves of the peaked roof. Hard to visualize. Maybe I'll shoot a quick video.
