Looks good to me. A buddy of mine built one of those and used a 2" receiver tube on the end. He bought a hitch from a trailer supply place with a tow hook on it for his hook. He also made another lifting device with 2 hooks that were spaced out that he uses to pick up those metal trusses they use to build hay sheds or car ports, etc. The double hooks pick up the truss by the top stringer of the truss at the peak and keeps it from swinging around wildly when you're trying to set it on top of the posts. He set my 40 ft trusses with it, and it worked great. Good luck with your projects man. Stay safe.

Thank you sir! I appreciate the comment! God bless you and yours!

Good idea. My only suggestion is to make a good hook that has some freedom to swing a little to hold on to the trusses. Then put a tag line on that hook to grab from below so when you get the truss into position. If your hook gets hung up on the truss where you grabbed it to hoist it, then you can give it a little slack and work it loose with the tag line. That's what I learned hoisting my roof trusses. Good luck

[@Lonestardiggin]

Thank you! Oh yeah I didn’t even think about that! I would have on my first lift lol. I appreciate that advice! I’ll def be making a hook lol. God bless you!

[@DunsmoreMovingDirt]

That ought to be stout enough to do the job. I got hot just watching you melt. Good job, you are smooth with a cutting torch. Go get cooled off.

[@Lonestardiggin]

It was pretty warm lol I have a job coming up and needed it finished lol. Thank you sir! After that I was done lol I appreciate the comment and support brother!

[@chadbothern7255]

Did it work?

[@Lonestardiggin]

@@chadbothern7255 yes sir it did. But like someone commented I need to make a big hook on the end so I don’t have to climb up whatever I’m lifting and unhook it lol.
