Titan Attachments 0.5 Ton Adjustable Steel Gantry Crane, Portable Shop Lift Hoist, Frame Only, Rated 1,000 LB

Dimensions were perfect as I had a need to lift a hot tub\spa out of a landscape vault. It's a bit hard to maneuver and definitely needs 2 people. The assembly instructions are rather lacking and should be rewritten by a non-Engineer...

Either the dimensions on Amazon weren't clear, or I can't understand what I read.The gantry won't fit over the tires on my 14' single-axle trailer. Anything I want to take off of the trailer with this gantry has to be slid to the back of the trailer. It's maybe 1-2" too narrow to fit. I'll probably get a new I-beam that's a tad longer to make it work.So make sure you measure what you're wanting to use this for carefully before purchasing.Other than that, the gantry is fine. It is pretty heavy to build by yourself. I was able to do it, but did need my neighbor to help lift it up onto the wheels once done. It rolls quite well on the larger wheels. While not recommended, I was able to scoot it around slowly and carefully with a 2400lb knee mill hanging from it.Raising the cross bar up and down is a two person job. I was hoping I would be able to wiggle it up one side then the other, but that doesn't work at all.Be prepared to figure out where to store this thing.It definitely makes lifting and moving heavy items a lot easier in the shop.

First off, the unit arrived with the crate completely destroyed. It was made out of 1/8" plywood and was only being held together by the fours plastic bands. The Fedex driver and I couldn't unload it from the truck in it's condition, so we cut the bands and unloaded it piece by piece. Amazingly all the parts made it, but not the instructions. The unit is fairly easy to assemble, but it will help if you have help to stand it up after it is assembled. The unit is well built and I think it will serve me well.Now the reason for only four stars. Once my unit was built and ready for use, I attempted to raise it to the height of my shop. The cable winch on the first side worked fine. I raised it up one notch and went to the other side to do the same. The other side locks after the handle is turned about four times. I checked for any obvious issues, but didn't find any. After contacting the seller twice, their only solution was to return the unit. A pretty radical solution to a minor problem. The winch could be replaced by removing four bolts and two cable clamps. Much easier than several hours of disassembly and shipment! At this point I intend to keep the unit and fix it myself.UPDATE: A few days after this review I received an email from a different representative asking for me to identify the broken part. She worked hard to get me a schematic and eventually the needed part. It took about 15 minutes to install it and just like that, I'm a very satisfied customer! Thanks Kristen Zubor!

Great product

I bought this crane for my new garage with 10' ceilings. The crane stands about 7.5 feet at it's lowest setting. I always wanted a crane to work on my ATV's, lawn tractors and trailers but really disliked using ramps or jack stands since they were always in the way. Not anymore, I can now lift the entire unit if I prefer which greatly provides more room to work on the underside of the ATV's and lawn tractor . The instructions have some errors on the diagram identifying parts but not really that big of a deal. The written assembly instructions are the same. Word of warning is that you will need a few friends to help raise the crane to its vertical position. I hooked up the chain block and used my garage rafters to stand it up. Moves easily around the concrete floor. I ordered it in August 2019 but only assembled it in March 2020. No problems with the parts, everything was accounted for, no damage during shipment. I purchased the chain block and trolley separately, installed them and everything works very nicely. Looks good to.

It meets my expectations so far except for one thing. The height assembled is about 5 inches taller than the specs say. I bought this specifically because it said the assembled height was 2 inches shorter than my garage ceiling. Upon installing I realized that the only way it was going to go up In my garage was to remove the casters. Just to set the stage I am a construction supervisor and I do metal fab from time to time. So I know how to measure lol. It’s usable but immobile.

Perfect addition to my shop, since I have had a fushion in my lower back. I can lift with the hoist and don't have to worry.

Easy to put together. Need 2 or 3 people to put it up.Great price. good quality !!
