Home made Lift

[Tim.243]

With some new stalking land in North Essex secured and a few big boys in that area I decided to re-use a jib made for lifting a job I did from time to time on site which worked of my welding trailer..

I made the rear bumper as the standard ones are crap, 90x90x8mm box... the jib slides over the end of the box.
All you need is the deer off the ground and then swing it on the tail-gate...

It is obvious to me it slides over the end of the bumper and only protrudes when in use...

Looks like an excellent way to avoid a sore back!

What is the swivel / bearing configuration? A bolt and the plate faces?

Yes Alan, 2 bits of 13mm off cuts with a 16mm 10.9 nm bolt, In its original form I used it to lift the old type acetylene cylinder in my mobile welding trailer on a change over when empty. Also the 3 meter cutting heads off piling rigs were a bit much and to get the end off the ground when putting new tip holders on was much easier!!
