JKD Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 This is hanging from an RSJ in a garage we're demolishing, and will probably need a new home very soon. Could anyone tell me anything about it please ? And an approximate value would be good too 👍 😇😆 As ever,,,, go easy on me please 🙏 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about at the 11 o'clock position, then it certainly looks like it, but there are so many cobwebs on it I couldn't say for certain. I'll take a closer look next time I'm on site 😉 Would you have any further information about it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted October 7 Author Report Share Posted October 7 1 minute ago, ditchman said: ive seen tackle like that mostly in farm sheds........ This is a purpose built large double garage that the previous house owner built at the top of the garden. It has a pit for working underneath cars. The current owners bought the house 20 years ago, and have only used the garage for storage of 'junk' 🫢, but also including the odd good item. It is now being demolished because of heave/subsidence, through an insurance claim. They have no interest in the hoist, but may do if it has any value, which I'm doubting 🤔 Just thought I'd find out any info before it 'disappeared' 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 As to value, it may just be worth the effort to weigh in at the scrapyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambam1962 Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 We had a very similar one fitted to a swinging arm crane in work, to lift 6mt lengths x 120mm chrome rods into the bandsaw for cutting, before machining into hydraulic rods for rams. It was years old but always passed it’s yearly inspection.and well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Google search points to it being quite a popular make. Not sure of its 'actual' condition yet 🤔 3 minutes ago, ditchman said: it would be worth saving it.....sand blasting it and painting it....couldnt bear to see something like that go to the scrappy That's what I was thinking,,,,, clean it, metal wax [?] it,,,, would make a proper feature for someone, I'm sure 👍 12 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: As to value, it may just be worth the effort to weigh in at the scrapyard.

JKD Posted November 3 Author Report Share Posted November 3 Update...... Fortunately, the owner decided that he didn't want it,,,, "so, throw it away" he said. In the back of the van it went 😃 UNfortunately, my boss visited site to speak with the policy holder, who said to my boss that " all things kept to one side can now be thrown away". Boss says to me,,,, "Great, I can use that at my house,,,, got an idea for it that might work". 🙄🤬🤬🤬 Hopefully his idea won't work !!! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all intact, no breakages or damage anywhere. Just very rusty, but no real corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
