Just noticed this on the HF site today, haven't seen it previously,
items 94831 / 94884, two sizes of portable gantries. Unlike the other
gantry they have had for some time, these are designed to be broken down
and transported, something of value to us HSM folks retrieving machines
from odd locations. The pdf manual
(http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals/94000-94999/94831.pdf) is also
worth downloading since it's quite detailed, almost plans for DIY
versions.

I picked up a 2-ton portable crane (engine hoist) at HF today for
$147. I completely forgot that I had a 15% off coupon. Duh!
That portable gantry might be just the ticket for small lifts, but it
wouldn't support anything with a 3-phase motor, like ALL old arn.

The 1T version would cover a great deal. The actual manufacturer makes
2t, 3t and 5t models as well: http://www.wellculip.com

The problem with a 1T is that to lift that weight, it has to be at its
shortest length. The 2T can work at double that length. For $50 more,
it's worth it to me even if I dont lift a ton.

Please log in for more thread options I have that crane. Aside from shitty casters, the crane is wonderful
and served me a lot, until I equipped my truck with a truck crane. Now
it is used a lot less, but it is a great, A+ item. It is stored
outside and seems to age well.
Mine is a 2 ton version. 1 ton is not god enough IMO.
