How 'bout a metal tube spacer under the vertical braces. About . 25" above the floor unloaded. Then you would only get .25" deflection when fully loaded. You could slip it under and weld just the sides.... done. Just a thought.
Instead of adding 45° bracing from over the wheel to the upright. I would put a foot under the upright about an inch above the floor so it can move unloaded and when it gets loaded it will flex the cross tube until the foot rest on the floor. With a load that heavy to set the foot on the floor I wouldn't try to move the gantry.
@@lanecazes maybe. Steel isn't cheap either. Lance's solution is the right one. Just move the bracing closer to the supporting wheels. But that'd take steel too. You could also just block up under the middle of the gantry but then you wouldn't be able to move it loaded. A lot of times you really don't need to move it loaded though. You already have the trolley to move the load. So not moving the whole gantry may not be a significant loss. I'm sure it only deflects under the heaviest loads too.
That "Praise YHVH" Definitely deserves a 👍🏼❤️
YESSSSSS!!! My favorite build from the old channel
So chuck you should upload the whole video just so viewers like us can see the whole build again just because it's entertaining
Perfect
Stretch is at it again, building again
MYSELF I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TOO HAVE BEEN A LITTLE WIDER FOR DOORS AND GETTING PAST BAYTOWN TEXAS
yes
I built a smaller one for my shop just for light stuff ( under 1 ton ) and the bottom part of the legs bent just like yours ( 3x3 1/4 ´´)

Really working overtime on these video titles😂

Stretch, it’s never too late to add longer bracing from the wheels. Lost art of building your own equipment, nice job!!
He can just put more wheels in the middle. Longer braces would always be getting in the way.
It's not so much a lost art of building your own equipment. It is more like lawyers and insurance companies frown upon it for liability reasons.

Stiffen up the horizontal members between the wheels where the deflection was noted. Cheaper than adding high dollar casters.

Don’t be scammed lanse!!! Add the braces now!
"Praise Yahweh"? I knew there was something different about you. Subscribing
guess should change his name to Crash LOL
I would have saved the tubing and used an I beam. Much stronger and no worries from all that welding on tubing.AL B.
Chuck e 2009.
No somos perfectos pero nada salio Mal en general
