Electric Workshop Crane for E-Bikes, Tools and more
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- 3 years after building my first Bike Crane / Workstand I've decided to re-visit this concept and build a much stronger crane with better usability and utilizing an electric winch to make it even more effective and comfortable to use. The crane can be installed in most rooms/workshops without having to bolt anything to the floor, ceiling or walls and can lift heavy Electric Bikes, Cargo Bikes and other objects up to 125kg.

I love when This Guy says "it's simple" and then he shows all this ...
This guy is the reason why German engineering has such a great reputation. So much detail and thought in not only making things functional but high quality as well
Yes - however if my 911 turbo was engineered as well, I would not have been so glad getting rid of it after 10 years of struggle and expenses...
lights, action, camera focus editing timing, filmography. Greatness Phil.
Your narration is extremely valuable, since it helps viewers understand your logic.
This is awesome. The build, the cinematography, and the editing were all top tier. You earned my subscription.
Phil, you don't do things half measure. Love it. I am still enjoying watching the 3" grinder built. Where is the fun if you don't make thing the hard way😂👍❤
“I got a bit carried away…” - YEAH!!! 😎👍🏻
You could use for lifting stuff up from floor level onto the tables or the welding table. Saves your back too.
Yeah that was part of the idea, it can also double as a shop crane. Might make a small pushcart at table height to move things around
@@PhilVandelay A cart where the top is a bunch of ball bearings, or casters upside down, to help you slide things off the cart onto a table.
@@criggie With dropsides like a pickup so your load doesn't slide off the cart when you pause before reaching the table.
WOW, marvelous work! Can I suggest you to drill two hole after cut (25:50)? Yes, the block system will not be used so often but the holes prevent cracks.
Thank for share your video and see you soon
Really good idea to clamp to the ceiling! Have you thought about a shop tour?
I have to thanks you, because as owner of a small workshop, i was studying the opportunity to craft my stand. I saw plenty of design during the eurobike, and some are very similar of yours. So this video is exaclty what is was looking for .
The hard point, is that a major part of your work is based on your welding skills. It seems that I will have to improve my stuff to reach an acceptable result.
Due to your attention to details everything you build turns into a work of useable art.I doff my cap to you on everyone of your projects as you never fail to amaze me.You and Fireball Tools should do a project together it would be amazing.👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍❤️
Your builds are very satisfying to watch - clean, precise, and beefy. Nice.
This is amazing! So glad you ended up revisiting this project with an electric version. Just bought the plans!! Can't wait to get building!
You could replace the two adjustable bearing sets with adjustable plastic skid blocks, and maybe add some strips inside the sideplates. Delrin would be good, but HDPE kitchen chopping boards are cheap and good enough. On the other hand, if you're already making two bearing assemblies, making two more is easier than making two of a different assembly.
yeah I thought about adding some material on the inside of the plates to make them slide better, actually the first design even had ball bearings all around 😅 But I figured it would be getting too complicated and I'd rather focus on the main usage which is lifting from the front of the crane. But I suppose it would be easy to do by milling a recess into the plates and gluing in some plastic. Other design ideas were stuff like two round tubes sliding over each other with a huge brass bushing on the inside and the lifting hook attached to a ring that turns seperately so that you could rotate the entire carriage, among other things... so this version is actually the least over-engineered one when you put it into context.
Wow. Beautiful photography, really well edited and narrated too with the CAD stuff as icing on the cake.
And the quality of the design, materials, attractiveness etc all excellent!
I can only imagine the amount of work that you put in to this project and video. Awesome! 🥇👍👍👍
Fantastic idea and very tempted to make one, only thing I would do is add a plate to the back to push on the cut off for the winch so it won't create a tangled mess on the floor
SOOO much fun and satisfying watching ur vids HABIBI !!! Great job/project as always and love how u pay attention for the small and fine details 👌😉. LOVE IT❤.
Idk why but listening to u and watching ur methods makes me feel calm. Keep up the videos. And yes the narration is on point. Thanks
Awesome build! Love the welding table.
Can't wait for the upcoming bike build!
Excellent work and narration makes me proud to be an American with German and English ancestry. PS I grew up in a machine shop that my dad owned all of my youth and as I got older I took it over I truly enjoy being a machinist fabricator welder excetera excetera.....
Very nicely engineered and built! Great attention to detail.
Nice! Thanks for doing this. I'm going to tell my friend who has a bike shop.
This is really satisfying to watch. Every ground surface is neatly parralel and even. 👍👍👌👌
Looks perfect. I love that build.
Awesome work. Great craftsmanship
Muy buen trabajo amigo. Soy un amante de las bicis y te sigo desde hace tiempo. Tus habilidades son increíbles. No me puedo imaginar cuanto trabajo hay detrás de estos 42 minutos...
Saludos desde España
Great tool addition Phil! That thing is kick ass!
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
Decrease the effort on the winch by shortening the wire rope off the winch drum?
Winches generate more pull on the first flake, so additional turns of wire on the drum decrease pulling power, while increasing line speed.
I actually added a pulley to the wire since building this, so it now moves about half as fast and can lift twice as much. Works much better actually, as the original speed was bit too "jerky" for this application
Phil, I loved your design and built one, adjusting the design to materials available in imperial units. It turned out great. I was even able to use it to lift and assemble my new welding/fixture table. Thank you for sharing your design and video. Bob
Great idea. I actually built myself a lat pulldown machine that spans between the floor and ceiling. It is rock solid also.
Master at his craft, beautiful build !
This was awesome! Thank you for such a thorough rundown.
Excelente Trabajo de los mejores del Mundo gracias por tus conocimientos. desde Colombia. Maestro.
Just when I was thinking I would like to see an other video from Phil. You upload a video on a subject I was just thinking about. Nice!
This could be extremely useful for building roll cages, I’m definitely getting those plans.
Interesting, I figured there would be other uses popping up for this! I also thought it might be handy for weld positioning for various things
Nice to see some black spike collective stickers ! Great work as allways
An elegant design, nicely done!
awesome project!!! great realisation quality!
Beautiful design! I love the aluminum knobs!!
Love your work, very interesting and fun too!
awesome project, video and channel. thanks for sharing
So impressive all around.
Incredible design!!! I love it! 👍👍👍
Congratulations! Excelente work!
this looks to be an amazing build, i just started watching it, but i had to stop and lol in a nice way at the "heavy duty bearings for heavy loads" :)
i have a buddy 3 streets down who overbuilds everything, it's a state of mind that amuses me.
Very very neat, well done, thanks.
Great work! Very solid work as always!
You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing .
Great job. The one thing I would change is to use one big pulley block at the top as steel wire likes a bend radius of 40 times diameter
Awesome, such an inspiration for the future of all the bike workshop association !
Absolutely love this stand - I work as a mobile bike mechanic and am going to adapt it slightly to be able to swing out of the side loading door, clamp onto the bike and then swing it inside to work on. will need to modify top as it will be permanently fixed in one position.
Like always, amazing work. My congratulations Phil. Regards from Venezuela!!!
Phenomenal skill Phil - amazing
There are usually 3 point bearings on the slide, because as you said - two of them are making the most of the work anyways. If you have 3 point then it's really easy to adjust, since only one has to be adjustable :)
good advice to simplify the design
Love it!!! Great stuff man! 💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Superb build and video Sir!!! BiG Thumbs up!
Nice Build !
Muito bom ! Parabéns.
Very impressive! I use the same type of motorized lift to suspend my bikes from the ceiling while servicing them.
Thats a sweet build, I like it.... Probably over built for what I need, (not working on cargo bicycles) but that would definitely would work. Great build Thanks
Your fabrication skills are a marvel young man. Well done :)
Very nice work!
Very nice. Love your work :)
Brilliant idea
Ok, I finished reading all the comments to make sure I was not going to just repeat things others have already said.
First things first, the video is great, as is the bike hoist. Only found this channel in the past few hours but I've managed to kill all that time since watching videos.
Second an idea. With the amount of cable you have sitting on that drum, you could actually double up the cable run, and rather then an eye on the carrier, you have another pully, then route the cable back up, back through, and back down to the floor plate where an anchor point cuold be. Double up the lifting power, while halving the speed for more granular control.
The one other thing I would like to see on this, is some sort of a safety mechanism for when that cable does fail. An e-cargo-bike may not likely crush you to death, but it sure sucks getting around while in a cast for months because a bike dropped from 1m off the floor.
I appreciate checking the other comments, since they do tend to repeat a lot 😅
Yeah I actually considered the pulley solution, because it is a bit too fast and rather jerky when you accelerate/stop it but haven't got around to it. As for safety, I guess it's up to each persons personal risk assessment, when you use this winch normally there would also be no safety against the cable snapping, which I think is highly unlikely since those cables can usually hold like 5x what the winch can pull, so for me personally I don't see a need to overdo it in this regard. The carabiner, eyelets etc. are all rated well above the lift capacity of this setup. If this was a product for end consumers then yeah, it would probably have to be designed a bit differently, since there's also countless pinch hazards, no end stops, etc., but I think the arm coming down on its own is one of the more unlikely scenarios
Awesome crane and awesome bikes man.
You are a very clever Man. Love your videos Sir. I like the fact you over engineer things to be honest.
Perfect job!!
Amazing!!! Great f job!
Trashman t-shirt and Tig sweatshirt just came in, I love them! Your designs are so cool. The print on the sweatshirt is very faint, you can barely see your logo. Not a complaint I still love it, just thought you might want to know.
Thanks, yeah I think if depends on the fabric/color too, I've tried a few printing services but so far threadless seemes to have the best quality. WIll probably start offering an alternative too though plus make more motives!
great build!
Attachung a hydraulic car jack in the column base could lift the ceiling attachment column effortlessly each time you need to move it. Nice build!
Nice build video! You can add a vertical T bolt to the grinding table to make perfect round grinds, assuming you will drill a hole in the item you're grinding, like the swing arm
Yeah I actually made a jig for that but I end up doing it by eye because I'm too lazy to set it up 😅 It works quite well though if you scribe/draw the curve on the part first
This is amazing!
Unglaublich gute Videos die du machst, die Animationen die Kamerawinkel die du benutzt. HAMER. Aber auch deine Arbeit selbst ist einfach auf einem anderen Niveau. Man kann sagen das du ein Meister bist und das es Deutsche Wertarbeit noch übertrifft. Einfache Sachen werden bis zum kleinsten Detail in Perfektion gefertigt. Bin absolut Begeistert. Weiter so Phil.
That is the work stand of dreams!
Would love it for my short john, its basically built of lead pipes and left over rifles from ww2.
Awesome job as always!
Großartige Arbeit, interessantes Video.
When you lifted the Bullitt and then tipped it, I was in love
great work!
Absolutely amazing!!! Machinist ASMR schon fast haha!
Dein Merch ist auch angekommen! Danke schön und weiter so!
Your videos are very good friend, I learn and am entertained a lot, I would love to have subtitles in Spanish if possible, greetings from Argentina.
Beautiful
I will make one of those for my bicycle frame jig. Awesome work
That's how I plan to use it too at some point :)
@@PhilVandelay I have the Part tool stand already so I just need the metal to make the stand. Great job.
Phil, from all of us who are lucky enough to have a lathe: you don't need to justify using it to remove mill scale or flatten parts! No excuses needed to use a lathe!
😅 Yeah I know, I mostly just mention it so people don't assume you absolutely need a lathe to build this, since I designed this project so that it's possible to build without a mill and lathe if you do a few things slightly different than in the video. Often people get discouraged when they see these machines in use because they assume you need super expensive tools to build the projects. But a lot of stuff I do can be done without them, it just might be a bit more work and not as precise, but still possible
@@PhilVandelay For sure. And it's super great that you make those points. I also really love that you're an example of the quality of work that can be done on the import mills/lathes. Can't get enough of your videos, thanks for the effort you put in!
@@youremostwelcome You should check out Stefan Gotteswinter or Clickspring on UA-cam if you want an even better example of what small/import machines can do! It's almost always the user, not the tool who determines the quality of the work. Anyway, thanks, good to know it's appreciated
One thing to lower friction on set screw would be making small hole in the top of it in wich ball from bearing would sit.
The only change I could possibly see as useful is making the wench control foot operated with a toe switch to kill power to keep it secure at the chosen height. It's beautiful, man.
Yeah foot switch could be useful. But I think I might forget it's there and trip over it 🤔 Best thing would be a remote control. If you use a 12V car winch they often come with wireless remotes, but they're slower
🤔 indeed... I do love design puzzles. I'd probably mount it with an 8 in cord and magnetize it to live on the base. A raspberry pi voice activated switch would be beyond the pale but unnecessarily cool too.
Such a wonderfully flexible design. If you want to use a slightly less capable winch a simple addition of 1 pulley (or even 2) will work. Need a bit stronger, thicken the metal here and there. Need 2 arms? Just make a new segment that would go over an existing segment, and voila! Thanks for sharing your design!!
I actually have added a pulley to this since building it like you said, but not to increase the lift capability (although it is easier on the winch this way) but also to slow it down. Movement was a bit too jerky previously, now it's perfect
@@PhilVandelay I was thinking of prolonging the life of the winch so it would be under less load and giving an extra safety factor to the wire. I didn't think of just improving the accuracy. Good thinking! Pulleys are so usefull!!
Place a scale in between that cable and the carriage to weigh your stuff when mounted on the claw!
Great job, just what I was looking for. I think you should add the limiter to the cable, so it will automatically stop the winch at the top position.
It wouldn't help during normal use, because the bike will always crash in to the ceiling before the crane arm reaches its limit. You just have to watch out when using it
Super nice build Phil 👍👍👌😀
Hey I forgot you were on UA-cam! Subscribed 😀
@@PhilVandelay hehe dont worry 😊👍 but thanks 🙏👍
Thanks. I watch your videos. All of them are great.
I have a lathe. And start looking for milling machine. Could you tell what type/model of mill you have.
Thanks again for your high quality videos.
All the best. Dmitri from Toronto.
Beautiful work. Meticulously made. I’m a little surprised by your lack of weld prep in terms of bevel before welding for strength. Mostly where you extended the column and also at the beginning where you made the sleeve for the column.
Dieser Fahrrad lift hat einige vorteile gegenüber dem Parktool den ich auf Arbeit nutze.
Leiser, Schneller, Flexibler, Stabiler und meiner kann ein Fahrrad in den Boden Drücken was deiner nicht macht!
Sehr guter Job!!!
Inspired to finish my e-shopping bike next holidays.
Finally a right solution :)
Do us all a favor and keep *"going overboard"* re: your decisions/designs. There are clear reminders of just
how beneficial that is in the end, when you used your "overboard belt sander" in this video. *Great job.*
[edit]: I'm sure it's a chore, but I wish you uploaded more often; your videos are informative, nicely edited, but overall enjoyable to watch.
Thanks, yeah I probably will keep going overboard. As for the uploads, I'm working more regularly now but videos like this simply take a long time with all the planning beforehand, the building and the editing. But I'm planning to throw some more smaller builds inbetween like the last two to keep things going
Could you replace the "stop catch" that shuts off the winch on the high side now that it's all built? and you could put an arm off the backside of the claw arm that would trip it in the down position (though as you stated, this isn't strictly necessary)
Impressive
