Workshop Jib Crane - BUILD

[@rjung_ch]

Looks great, make sure you have a stop at the end so the motor won't roll off the end there.

[@tonywhite6107]

If you look closely there is one!

Do you really think a guy who's talented enough to build a crane wouldn't know too put on a stopper? Lmao

@GregoryJohnston77... Sometimes even the most obvious things are overlooked by the brightest, smartest and most knowledgeable people. It's not too different than a situation where the most obvious question isn't asked especially when it should be. And why isn't it? The most common excuse is "...because everybody had already been to that rodeo...". The smart play is to go over the totally obvious even though it's totally obvious! Going through the motions and doing your due diligence eliminates the mistakes. Think of all the people through history who ended up seriously injured or dead because they didn't.

Althoughwe aren't related nor know one another personally I am so proud of your skills and dedication every time that I see you fire up that home made lathe as I've worked with lathes of every brand and size bed over the past 40 years and never seen one built @ home that works as well as yours... You do such good work with very professional results using only the simplest of and homemade tools.. Pat yourself of the back as you've worked very hard and deserve it. ..

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks so much!!💪🏻👊🏻

[@Equals488]

I loved the telegraph welding, during the weld of the crane arm. 😆 🤣 😂 I love this guy's builds.

[@robh3267]

I loved how you turned the wheels down so they will track, I hope you never have to move, your a perfect example of using thought and innovation to make the best use possible of the space you have available, excellent work as always.

I love that you lifted yourself as a load. I feel like your my workshop spirit animal.

[@homemade_madness]

Haha yeah i dibnt have any other weight around😅

[@AMetalWorks]

Love how you worked around the low sloping ceiling with this design. I'm definitely going to use many of these design elements and build myself a similar crane for my shop. Maybe two of them. I have a CNC Plasma table that needs one and a Big Lathe that also needs one.

[@homemade_madness]

Yes that was the main reason i went with this design!

[@No1karez]

I use to hang my dirt bike from the ceiling to strip it down and service it.. so much easier, faster and more enjoyable. I like your idea, the electric winch is a nice touch 👌 👍

[@slavyanskie_budni]

Супер. Спасибо за отличный контент. Я из Германии. Буду смотреть твои проекты. Это очень вдохновляет. Удачи.

I need something like this for my future shop. You've inspired me to build one instead of buying 👍

[@andrewk8636]

Check out Andrew Camerata video as well! Looking forward to your build!

[@homemade_madness]

Ill be waiting for your build😉 im sure it will be alot beefier😅

[@eduarddvorecky3731]

Good job. Just 2 things. First is obvious. Screw in the stop at the end so engine and load won't suddenly roll off the end. And second is you should probably fix top and possibly even the bottom part of the static structure (before the hinge) to prevent it from folding sideways when you'll be lifting stuff on the sides. That would cause instant fail of the crane.

I made one like this and it works very well in my small shop. Just pulled the engine out of my 1962 ford 2000 tractor no problems.

[@ReynoldsThemeparkAdventures]

Nice bit of kit! Just need a bump stop at the end of the crane.. 👀 Every time it slid to the end under weight my heart dropped! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

very good work you are on your way to being one of the best fabricators on youtube never stop building, one thing you need now to improve your skills, even more, is a milling machine, it is a good thing you made the lathe first that will make your job much easier, good luck young man we are counting on you.

[@be007]

mooi gemaakt man ! 1 advies, doe ff bovenin nog 2 schoren lassen/plaatsen voor als je de kraan helemaal in de haakse stand hebt (de stand zoals je de tractor optakelde), want die paar boutjes in het plafond lijken mij niet genoeg om het torderen tegen te houden in de haakse stand.

Hey, I’ve just found your channel and love the content. I’m about to build a crane for my shop too. I don’t want to sound like the safety police but please do yourself a favour and put on a respirator. At least a P3R one to stop the dust from the angle grinder. I know they’re a pain but now I put mine on as soon as I get in the shop and keep it on all day and don’t even realise it’s there. I have an engineer friend who’s job it is to look at the long term effects of dust exposure (he does the sample tests etc) they say the mid and long term effects of angle grinder dust and welding fumes is a much bigger problem than people think. Im talking taking decades off your life! We all wear glasses and ear protection because the effects can be felt straight away but people don’t bother with their lungs so much. I’m not trying to preach, just a concerned fellow metal worker. Take care mate and keep up the great content.

[@mr.hauskatze6055]

Wow fantastic Job. Big respect. I want them too for My Garage

[@craigguinn5423]

Nice design and fabrication. I may make a similar one for lathe Chucks and heavier tools. I like the bracing. I have a 2x6 wall to brace to. I just updated a floor crane for heavier stuff.

[@breakit2makeit393]

Class job. Doing one soon myself .real handy to have. Love seeing your videos

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks!

[@bamcustoms7327]

Very inspiring, have been wanting to do something similar for a while myself. Be careful, a very common misconception, doubling the line does not double the lifting capacity of the crane or Jib!!! It simply reduces the winching force required to lift by 1/2(doubles the lifting capacity of the winch, not the crane). I've seen actual cranes upset because the logic of a 2 part line were misunderstood by the operator. From what I can see, your build can easily support 500Kg, always a good idea to over engineer, Good job!!! Looking forward to more.

[@atsadawutnambut6767]

Wow, I like video clip. I’m follow you.

[@richardculbertson8027]

[@bchant19]

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Enjoyed. At some point I will build a jib crane for my shop.

[@LukeTheJoker]

Good looking crane, it follows the roofline nice with that truss girder. Just a couple of queries, what size and grade are the bolts you are using as pivots? By the time the load is out on the end you could be talking 1500+kg of shear force on the top one, I also hope your wall and roof mounts are into something strong, it is not clear in the video, but if they are just bolted/screwed into a timber frame it could easily be a failure point. Thanks for providing a good example for new builders by not removing the guards from your angle grinders, although I will say that you should get some welding gloves, skin cancer is no joke and sunburn on your hands hurts real bad...

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks! it are 12mm shanked bolts wich will not shear all that easily i think. its screwed to a timber frame wich is mounted to a concrete wall of the building nextdoor. I made sure to make this part of the workshop extra strong when i built it, because ive been wanting to build this crane for a while. extra roof rafters and stuff like that

[@Helloverlord]

You need to fix that cabinet door lock! Nice crane!

[@deadslow201]

Whats the size and grade of those pivot point bolts?

[@homemade_madness]

M12 8.8

[@deadslow201]

Those will wear down/ you could add for example nylon bushings, and preferably replace those bolts with Hardox round bar or similar. Another issue might be those rollers bolts. You could add safety "claws"; in case bolt snaps, the sled does not fall down.

[@2strke_Life]

Very nice, but what is the max loading capacity

[@jamespayne8781]

Good use of thin wall tube to create a very strong frame.

[@TURBO5KONING]

on my exact same winch the 2 countersunk bolts that hold the motor assembly to the metal plate snapped off while under load, chinesium quality. changed them for 10.9 high tensile bolts and now a year on no problems.

[@homemade_madness]

😯😯

[@randytravis3998]

i would add bolts to hold the winch to your rolling plate ,, I see you welded it ,,just be a bit safer with some bolts also just in case a weld cracks or breaks ,, don't need a engine to drop on your head ..also check your winch cable from time too time .. the wires do wear out and start breaking ,, also keep a eye on the bolts in the wall make sure they stay tight .. just some advice

[@andrographis]

Think about adding an antidrop plate to the trolley, if those bolts/wheels fail would be nice if it didn't fall and chop your fingers off or pin you under the crane. Also not a good idea using a pulley to double your lift capacity when the weak point is probably elsewhere and you haven't tested it at rated capacity or allowed for dynamic loading (assume 125% when your bouncing from speed 1/2). An end stop or keeper plate would also make sense, looked like the trolley was coming off on your head when lifting the bike.

[@ralphjennings9064]

I like the design of the trolley and hoist.

[@arunkatiyar729]

Very nicely done👍

[@internettoughguy]

Did you do any basic calculations to determine what safety factor you have when hoisting max capacity 500kg? You should proof load it to at least 750kg (150% of max capacity) to make sure nothing is bending.

[@pauldorman]

Absolutely agree that the crane should be load tested, but does the 500 kg label refer to the hoist, or the crane as a whole? Great work though. The only think that concerned me was the lack of adequate protection while welding. Intense ultraviolet light and bare skin is never a good combination!

[@internettoughguy]

@@pauldorman Whatever the label says should be the capacity of the entire system and not just the individual component. This is industry standard. Imagine what would happen if the jib can only support 250kg before bending but the hoist says 500kg. How does someone even know they should not lift more than 250kg? They wouldn't know. They rely on what the label says so that label should be the rated capacity of the weakest component in the entire system.

[@pauldorman]

@@internettoughguy I have to agree with you. At first I thought the capacity was original to the winch, but then looked again. 500 kg at the end of the crane would probably bring the wall down!

[@DktheWelder]

That’s perfect! Not over built I think you made it just right! Now I’m thinking of what engines weigh 500kg haha , v8???

[@Hellsong89]

Those cheap china witches i would never put on full rated force, specially after while in use with out safety lift test. Had few boat winches that suppose to hold all the way to 900kg. Put some some weight on it and locking mechanism slipped and thing went free willy. Thankfully nothing major happened, but as rule goes, never go under load that is not entirely secured with physical support, like when working on car, put the rim/rims under the frame and maybe even drop it on them and put little pressure on the lift. If it falls off or lift/jack fails there is something stopping it from crushing you, same with those cheap car jackstands. Almost lost a foot when didnt listen to this rule, lift the car and didnt notice lift disk was partially on the roll bar. Went to work on the brakes when suddenly it moved and whole hub shot down from the twisting force of the roll bar and spring combo. If i had my knee under it... uuuf

[@homemade_madness]

Yeah not sure about te 500kg tough😅 next project is 4cilinder engine luckily

[@internettoughguy]

@@Hellsong89 A boat winch is not a hoist. It's only intended to pull horizontally regardless of the rated load capacity. Lifting hoists for overhead lifting are specifically designed with proper safety rated brakes. You're playing a dangerous game if using anything other than a certified hoist for overhead lifting. Personally I would never rely on a cheap Chinese junk winch for overhead lifting. My life isn't worth the gamble.

[@zacharybronk6855]

This thing is cool but you should consider adding a brake/locking clamp to the roller so it won’t roll around

Fantastic video! Please excuse my ignorance but I’m new to welding. Wooden welding table, no gloves, no fire? I assume your “welding table was reasonably flat? Great job! You’ve inspired me!!

[@seansysig]

I see a possible design flaw. I would move the winch on to the wall. Create trolley locking holes and pins with trolley cable roller pins. This will minimize the weight on the boom. Also possibly increasing lift capacity.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Great build when I get my new shop maybe you can help me build one lol!

[@ronaldr.richardson4624]

Yes, great skills, tooling, and ability, however; ? CAPACITY ? (500 KG = 1,102.31 Lbs. or 0.551 Tons) = Capacities are determined by the weakest link in the materials or system. Those weakest links could be the support structure being attached to (in this case it looks like an OSB wall structure or member), any given link in the jib crane structure itself and any one piece of the structure that could be the weakest link, as well even a single weld, a bolt, trolley wheel (in this case an altered nylon wheel), or any swivel connection and it's design and fabrication. Many variables of compression, tension design calculations to approve a capacity of a system is required. "WHEN AND IF ANY ONE MEMBER WOULD FAIL IT COULD AND WOULD CAUSE A DOMINO AFFECT IN COMING DOWN AND IT'S FAILURE."
