Home built truss crane

Watch this big clown and his crew make short work of setting heavy 40' steel hay barn trusses in minutes with a manual home built crane on a truck with a Reese hitch deal. Using a rope and pulley system, unbelievably fast and easy. If they can do it, anyone can.

I don't want to be the safety police here; that gets to be a drag. It is a good video and I am glad you posted it. I will offer a few suggestions that may help someone to avoid an injury or early death. I would like to recommend hard hats. You've got tools, materials and other things that could come down. A couple of decent step ladders would be much safer to use. Have respect for those steel trusses. They are bone breaking heavy and the sheet metal pieces welding along the top will slice through human flesh like a sharp butcher knife. As for the winch, at the very least, add a one way ratchet stop to the winch line as a backup to the guys holding the truss up.

You forgot to mention crackhead employees

Good,But i would add a winch at the bottom.Save all the pulling.

[@kevinashby3784]

that's a great idea. Simple but VERY effective.

Bloody Brilliant. My dad was a Special Effects man and he made something very similar but his was mad on the front axle, this is much stronger.

It works great, you can take it apart and put it in the back of a pick up truck, only takes a few minutes to get ready, if you set trusses all the time, you need a machine but for small jobs, like you said, this works and it's fairly cheap to put one together. As far as the safety part is concerned, I just made the video, It's not my crew.
