gin pole diy design tips:
Hi, for personal reasons we thought of creating a simple lifting device which I see that many of you use it often. I believe it is used in the oil industry as a lifting device. I think it's called a gin pole, which is a rudimentary crane equipped with pulleys and a winch, hoists etc. we would need a simple one to install on an agricultural tractor or if we find a robust axle to build on a chariot type trailer, how should we design it to make it safe and functional, what material should we use? I think it works like a lever so we will have to avoid letting it tip over, the capacity would be 2 tonnes, the useful lift would be around 2.5, maximum 3 meters under the hoist hook, any ideas, any implementation suggestions, how would you make it functional and safe, thanks.
