I redesigned my ladder crane to make it the ultimate ladder crane for all situations and built it for under $275. My crane uses a 1,500lb 120volt winch connected to a modular frame that allows it to work in about all situations. I built this for under $275. Check it out and see how I did it. Be sure to check out the first version and let me know if you think I improved it.

@richardlofftus6736 3 года назад

You need to be using it NOW! Built an A frame version for scuttle holes and have thought about the ladder attachment. Your version is great for that and as you have it set the A frame would still be quite usable. I say use it more because I do commercial work only and while it seems stupid to use it for lighter stuff it is still very nice for the shoulders. Latching 2 jugs of gas on it, use the milwaukee packout crate with a strap on it to load out heavy service tools and parts. Torch set, nitro bottles, vac pump, 10 by 10 canopy. None of that is really hard pull on a rope but it is nice to double up on stuff and not be sore. Not setting it up on every job but in the 2 months I have had mine I have used it four times and will be using it this week on a comp change out. GOOD JOB SIR.

Hi just a comment on the hook on crane part, on a crane you should always have a safety to prevent it from unhooking (any part like a moving gantry too) in the event of an accident it should not unhook or if a cable/belt snaps the shock load can make it "jump" and then it will un hook. Would suggest a simple pin OR chain welded on with a slot to hook into

Getting this tested ad UL certified may be possible, probably expensive. Roofers have “Rope and Wheel” that hooks up to a strait ladder. Made by company RoofMaster and it’s available for purchase. I have seen people here on RU-vid roping a condenser with it. Your hoist is on another level though!

@HVACRSurvival 4 года назад

If I was using this everyday I would have ordered closer tolerance tubbing, and other metals. I haven't had a chance to even use it yet in real life, just around the house 😲. Luckily I haven't needed to 😏

@randymack1782 4 года назад

@@HVACRSurvival no worries, as an addition, the plate for the ladder step, I would drill a hole through, then use a tractor implement hitch pin, with a good lynch pin, just as a safety for reasons we cant explain, "LIFE" sometimes things we cant think of catch us by surprise, & that would go under ladder rung, to keep it from ever being knocked upward to cause it to come loose. like i said, great design, I do plan to copy it for myself with scrap metal, I have several tons of scrap metal. not sure of anything else until I make it to see if I see anything else, but for now, just those 2 is all I see.

Thank you for the video and this proposal. I would like to see this crane working on a project that you have. I like the idea. I just want to figure out how it would work on other situations as well such as: the ladder does not go over the edge of the roof. The ladder stops right below the hatch.
