Phil: I have a 14 foot long I-beam attached to my 16 foot ceilings so that I can pull a plate with the 1-ton chain hoist (I have two) attached to a trolley on the I-beam and run the plate off to the side to be lowered to a truck. If you want a picture, I can get one to you.

The best thing to use is a one ton chain hoist which gives you a chance to test if the frame is ready to lift. The same for lowering, once the down button is pushed it moves very quickly compared to the chain hoist. Robin Stevens -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
