That’s a nice piece, Keith! Congratulations on a successful hunt! I’m sure it will make life in the shop more pleasant! Thanks for the “check in!” All the best!
Hey Keith, I helped install a 3T crane like this, one of the things we did because the slab was only 8" thick was to drill out a 10" hole though the slab, and down about 6' into the earth, we stuck some thick wall pipe (10' long) down into the hole and filled around it with concrete all the way back up to the slab, after that the column was placed over the pipe, and we drilled and welded 10 bolts onto it, we used that to clamp around the pipe bedded into the ground to the column and then bolted the column's base to the slab with some redhead anchors and it ever moved.
Keith, congratulations on the weight loss-been there myself and I know what it takes. I was looking at some old videos and the change is startling. Makes it a lot easier to move, doesn’t it?
Greetings from Lithonia, Georgia. I fully understand that beans and bacon come before entertaining strangers. My feelings are not hurt. That's gonna be one sweet addition to your shop. Be well.
Hello Keith just a little info use epoxy anchors verses the wedge anchors. You will have better results as far as strength just do a little research we use the heck out of hilti brand as far as machinery installation. Also anchored a 30 ton tugger😊 . My best Tighe
Nice little window into how you think about assessing load capacity, re-purposing and modifying equipment in general. Short videos on seemingly unimportant topics can hold nuggets of highly valuable and interesting information. Its easy to forget as we advance in our fields of interest that not everyone knows or has encountered all these little details that comprise our experience and knowledge base. I'm always acutely aware while overhearing snippets of conversation between old timers that I'm learning deep, hard-won lessons in just a few of their words.
Good to see you with the scientist hat still on. Regarding the crane, now THAT is what I call a score!!!! That's awesome and is going to really help out and not burden you with having to make one.
Keith, thank you for posting. It will be interesting to see the crane get set up. Yes, fully understood, the day job rules until we can make the leap. Thank you for the overall effort to promote interest in the art. Ty Randy
Sure glad that you found that. The current situation was rather concerning. Now, the problem is that things tend to get used for other things that are way heavier than we ever imagined they would be. I'd suggest that you lay out the bolt holes on the floor and drill out about a six inch concrete plug at each location. Dig down however deep you can, belling out the holes. Install appropriate J bolts and fill with high strength concrete. The crane can then be installed in the same manner in which Adam did his. I'm sure that there are viewers out there close to your location that would be more than willing to help, as would I if I was on that side of the country. Stay health young man.
Great news I install a similar Jib Crane in a Machine Shop for Grinding and Welding large M&M and Waukesha Cranks. Thanks for checking if the base pad will be suitable to work with the Concrete, I had some concerns after my past Jib Crane and having a 3-inch depth of concrete.
Nice looking Jib crane Keith. With a little, and I do mean little maintenance before you erect it, that crane will out last you. Just remember to grind away any rust on the bottom of the base plate first. Then treat it with some rust repair and finally, a few coats of paint. Great find, fella.👍⚒️🏴🇬🇧🇮🇱🇺🇦🇮🇱
You look as if you’ve lost a little bit of weight and you very good Keith (meant kindly ) , thanks for the update and I’ll look forward to Friday and the capstan work !!! I’ve followed Leo from the start of his boat project .
I also contemplated about building my own gib crane. But after pricing out my construction list, I saved a whole bunch of time and money by going to H. F.! They don’t have a great reputation for high quality products, but I must say their gib crane was a good investment! Congrats on your purchase, I think you did great! Steve M
Vice purchase and idea. Mounting that will require the column to be perfectly plumb or else the crane is going to want to swing to the "tilt". I saw ABOM install his and they were very particular about that because the bearing is very smooth and will allow the rotation to be very easy so if it is off plumb, it will always want to swing to the one position. Of course, you knew this. Just a precaution.
On that size a crane, yes, on this size a crane, you don't really need to be that precise and it's not used every job, just lathe jobs. Personally, i'd actually mount it with an offset towards the area between the two lathes so it naturally wants to fall into that spot when not in use. Like i said, not a every day crane.
A bubble level will do just fine. Do you really expect him to just plop it on the floor and call it good? Any error in the column is multiplied by the jib length., for example 0.01"/ft of deviation on a 10' column translates to 0.040" deviation at the outer end of a 4' jib, 0.02" deviation at 2', 0.03" at 3'. Even a 4' carpenters level can do better than 0.04"/ft. Since Keith knows how to read a bubble level, and how to check the accuracy of one I don't think he'll have a problem getting it dang near dead nuts.
@@truracer20 Well, Keith did say his engineer friends said he could. that is why I mention it should be plumb and you can't get that simply bolting it to the concrete. If you read my post, I did say Keith knows what to do since he is above bar in his work. The bearing is super sensitive so it will swing on its own if its not within a specified plumb. I love the expert who suggested pouring dirt into the bearing to prevent this.
Nice find Keith, you'll love having it available once installed. Have one of your engineering buddies check your foundation. They are notorious for pulling out anchors if not installed properly. Thanks for sharing.
I can sympathize with the work travel for sure. I watched the prior four videos during a 2 week stay in India. Looking forward to seeing the new crane in action.
That's going to be a super addition to your shop. The last thing you were lifting on your existing jib crane sure looked sketchy. This will be a much safer way to lift those heavy parts.
Happy for you that you managed to score one, i know it's not easy to find the right size crane to operate in a lathe area and have it at a price that won't kill the wallet. They're either too big or too small these things. I struggled myself to find one here in Europe for two years before i gave up and caught a flight to Canada just before the CV19 hit, to get one.
As I remember these cranes are tested to twice the advertised weight they can handle. For you reducing the advertised weight is a great way to feeling safe. Others using it should be kept aware of the gross load capabilitys and all keep monitoring them for just because eh. I just saw Leo being excited to getting that capsand has now moved Tally Ho to a new birth on its own power and loaded the main sail to her. All very exciting for all concerned. You are going to love that new lift. Good looking too. Now you can re advertize the max lifting load on the Jib. Stensils are a great way to spend a few more precious dollars, LOL.
I realize that you probably won't do this, but--------- the company I worked for installed those things, and proper installation is sawed concrete 54 inches by 54 inches and the hole dug 48 inches deep. Fill with crete and make a pattern for your bolt holes, drill and anchor them in epoxy. Two of us working could do the digging part in 4 hours with a fork lift and dump bucket. Ellis
Cool snag!! I love the idea of derating it, makes perfect sense. The bearings and bigger rig will make moving those big jobs a breeze. Buy it new, wear it out, make it do and do without. Lot of life left in that crane.
Thanks for going outside. Y'all close enough to where I used to live so.... I can see where I wish I was, not this bleak winterscape I see up north here.
@@paulcopeland9035 Don't be an ass. Someone, someday, will surely lift more, unless the labels or signage are changed to reflect the capacity. If this were a commercial setup, it would fail inspection ... for a reason.
If the bedrock isn’t too deep under your shop. Could you use ceiling anchors like the ones used in mines. To hold the ceiling of the mine from coming down. This can give your excellent score, NEW TOY its maximum amount of its lifting weight? You never know if one day you will need to lift some stock that weighs 1,000 pounds. This is nothing more than a suggestion.
Those require a foundation under them to act as a counterweight and footing so they won't topple with a full load out at the end. You should be able to find the foundation size by visiting a jib crane manufacturer's website.
Keith addresses this in the video, he's got a deep footer where he's placing it, consulted an engineer, and will be derating it to 1/2 ton max. Should be fine.
1. it's already been modified, so the OG ratings don't apply to this anymore 2. he's using it on his lathe, realistically he's gonna max out at 400~450 p, and that's a rare occurrence. 3. he talks about it in the video. he already spoke with engineers. This is Keith, he knows what he's doing.
Lower part of the column needs to be wrapped in carpet for full Ginger approval
😹😸😺👍🙏
Did Mary Ann find a new home?
Lol, good idea
YES!!!!
The back side of the carpet out.
Finally, some uplifting news!
Good footage of Ginger, too
High speed cat scan complete.....I agree with the other comment...a little carpet around column would gain full feline approval.😊
Congratulations on your purchase Kieth. Looks like Ginger wanted to be the main star of your video!
I thought Ginger was photo bombing you.
Off the topic 👏👏👏👏 on your weight loss! I hope it’s intentional! Your looking great!

You, adam, and Mr. Pete are my favorite in the usa, Creg and Karen from CEE in austrailia and Blonde hacks are great outside the us.
Nice to see you outside of the shop.
We will miss our "iron fix" but you've gotta do what you've gotta do!
Thanks for the update, Sir! Drive careful - lots of impatient folks out there.

Hey even in the midst of your work you are making time to post a video giving us an update; that is dedication. Thanks, be well! What a nice crane.
Glad to see you got that jib crane instead of having to wrestle around that A frame.
Nice Keith, that will do a better lift assist for your large projects and changing chuck
Nice to hear that You're doing well, and I must say that You really "look the part" as well. :)

Wow! You manage to find the best stuff. Have a great week.
Looks like Ginger approved it!
Thanks for sharing 👍 It's that time of year. Please be safe in your travels 🙏
I remember when Adam Booth put his in, I hope you enjoy yours as much as he enjoys his.
Glad you've finaly bought a better jib crane ☆☆☆☆☆

You can be out a fair bit without any issues.
They run smooth if your bearings are clean but not that smooth it runs away constantly.
Dump a little dirt in the bearing to keep the arm
from swinging away from you. Ginger won’t like the grinding noise.
Just kidding. 😉😉😉

Good find Keith. Would love to buy you lunch or dinner sometime when your in Nashville!
Perfect size. Nice score.
Bad Assed! That thing will make a huge difference for material handling and getting those giant chucks on/off.
Will be nice for lifting the big 4 jaw to put on the lathe .
A good find.
Great buy! Put some rust treatment paint on the base and enjoy that new toy.

For those days when too much is just enough. I'm guessing you will run wiring for an electric hoist as well.

Great deal!
awesome find Keith.
Kieth says, this capstan is heavy. Jib crane arrives next day
Great find. Congratulations!
That should help!
Keith, I tell my buddies that if you can still see your reflection in a mirror you're just fine😂😅
Great find for the shop. Marketplace for the win!
Thanks Keith
1:34 I thought I was making up seeing something flying out from under the trailer because I was so focused on this beautiful crane
Nice, good job
Look like a nice find
Having it attached to the floor seems way better than a jib being attached to the lathe.
That Jib crane is more than capable for it's intended use although I was interested in how you were going to modify the existing one.
1-1/2 ton hoist
1-ton crane
1/2 ton floor
Good to go! 🙂
and 1/4 ton lifts. Watch the video before you make stupid comments!
1/4 ton job to do. All's well.

To topple it would have to rip out a bunch of 3/4 bolts or a large chunk of concrete. It’s perfectly safe bolted down with the extra large base plate.

Keith, just wondering if the "Stoker Motor" project will ever return? That was a very interesting piece.
The "Stoker Motor" is a myth.
And if I got $5.00 for everyone that has brought that up multiple times each, I would never have to work again.
