Gin pole rigging.

We needed a solution to lift a 535# beam about 12' in the air to support rafters for an overhang. Give. Pole it is.

I want to build a metal barn and need some gin poles. I am building a flatbed on my channel and want to add 2" receivers so I can easily remove them when needed.

That would be a great idea for a putting up a building . Thanks for watching

how heavy was that gin pole? could you move it by yourself?

[@tkbuilt2145]

It was heavy , not sure on weight . I moved it in place with a quad and was able to install and raise the gin pole by myself.
