Beam Lift

[@RollinShultz]

Interesting. If you used a long cable and a pulley at the top of the scaffold and one on the floor instead of the winch, you could have used a beam lift to lift the other beam lift from the 1st floor.

[@joemanflyer2001]

That’s a big job and very time consuming which time is Money. Should have rented a crane!

What the Crazee I’m Eliot I’m a framer/carpenter and I enjoy coffee I’m not the only one you’re not the only one WE AREN’T ThE only onES! 😂

The cost of a crane is about . 0003 percent of the the home 100 times safer 300 times faster and just hope they rented those lifts because the cost of storage and the time to move then around would put the cost more than a crane . Saved about 300 bucks if you don’t count their set up time .

I just did 4 40 foot lvls with block and tackle . Very easy for them

[@extraart1]

Thank you- my thoughts exactly.

[@its9429]

Uh no cranes live in that area?

[@framerguy4534]

Omg so that beam is 1 1/2 in on each side on that 2x4 wall Not 2x6. And the wall in the middle has 1 brace i believe not good on my pov

[@136donjuan]

Certainly a very,very fancy,fancy,complex,and costly way to do things two Mexicans and me would do that. Without any safety violations,no back breaking mulling Just using the ancient,and cheap principles of pulleys, That may explain why out of every 3 construction workers in North America Two are of Hispanic descent Anyway there is always a good opportunity to learn how not to do things👍🏻cheers

[@TheAnnaAnnet]

I don't understand, did you move the material lifters while the beam being up too high? We are trying to use the same lifter to lift up 16 ft 5.5''x14'' beam up to 11 ft high

I am not surprised that US homes fly like birds in the case of a hurricane when they are made only of wood :-)

[@michaelschuler7397]

Hurricanes are powerful like the us

[@positiveaquatics5050]

Me and 3 guys could of installed that without any lifts legit today we finished up installing a 26ft long 3/4in thick steel I beam 100lbs per foot 2600lbs we had a shit ton of temporary walls

Just because brute strength can be utilized doesn't make it the tool of choice.

Work smart not hard

[@rsz90182]

Seeing, visualizing and saying you can do it may sound like viable method but reality and doing it onsite is a whole new ball game. The people in video accomplished it without any problems. Reality vs. Imagining you can do it.

[@extraart1]

That's why so many people get crippled and killed on construction sites.

@@extraart1 34 years in the business.....severe spinal stenosis, knee replacement and hip replacement. I am fortunate in my crippled years to have landed a job teaching the trade at a University. I teach "smart not hard work" ethics as I'm a walking ,or lol , a limping true life example! I would have paid for my crane truck operator to stop by. For the price of less than $350 truck fee, well worth it!

[@55afishead]

A boom truck runs $125 an hour. It would take 30 minutes to set those two beams. The Genie lifts rent for $50.00 each per day. This makes no sense. Work smarter not harder. You would think between six guys they could have figured this out.

[@jackmehoff1565]

Most boom trucks have a 2 hour minimum

[@seanajacobs]

How long were those beams?

[@seanajacobs]

Never mind. I missed the beginning the first time. You said 22ft long.

[@michaelschuler7397]

:45 that’s what she said

[@joeasprilla2733]

Next time call a crane

[@Joshua79C]

crane is expensive at a few hundred buck an hour
