Gantry Crane Plans: bit.ly/2zvAHkV
Andy Rawls - In this video I'm building two 12' tall x 10' wide gantry cranes. I used 2x6 and 2x4 framing lumber to build these. The heavy lifting will be done with a 2200# chain hoist. Stay tuned to see what these are for!

Your kids seem really helpful They are very interested and keen in learning your work. I think they will follow in your footsteps. I loved our camera views of what you are doing and how you better explained how you put the hoist together. Lots of wood used but less costs because of less wood used in the project than what I saw in other videos. Great job and I like how you cut the wood close to correct but not necessarily having to worry about 100% accuracy once you are close enough. Great job I hope you do more videos like that
I’m all in on this camper. Can’t wait for the next video. Thank you for the video.
Interesting build, Andy. Good engineering and design. Thanks for the video. Also think it is great to get the kids involved.
The best part was the kids helping. Priceless!
I can't help myself...it did not sound really bad until you said,"that sounded really bad". It's funny!
Awesome job
Awsome video Andy ! so your gonna be lifting an old Airstream camper ? ...this is gonna be cool ! also the plywood at the top is a great idea ...keeps your tops from racking side to side ...can't wait, keep up the awsome videos brother God Bless.
That’s cool that your kids get involved. I can’t make kids myself but I do have a nephew and he’s shown a great interest in learning how to use tools and learn a trade. He’s only 2 right now but in a few years he’ll know how to use a tape and then nail a board. I helped my brother with his picket fence and my nephew got a kick out of me helping him hold the nailer to shoot a couple nails. He’s lucky, I had to learn to drive a 6 penny in two strikes with a 19 oz. hammer and drive at least 15 nails a minute working for my uncle before I could even look at a nail gun.
It’s funny I was searching for gantry cranes for my own airstream project, already followed you but was like “oh cool Andy Rawls made some, wonder why” only to find out it’s for YOUR Airstream project. Ha!
I'm guessing they will be used for pulling the airstream shell off the frame....
Totally my guess as well. The slots for the scaffolding will come in handy for polishing. Something I have wanted to do is redo a air stream or vintage spartan trailer. Just don't have a place to park it and work on it right now.
good guess
Very nice video 👍
excellent job
Andy - enjoyed that .
I like your build and I'm going to make one using painter RHS.
We to have a Sawstop bench saw and also use the timber feeder like you and hey you never know what a great feeling knowing that if I slip I keep all my fingers.
You're helpers are the best! I greatly appreciate all your airstream videos!!! Any idea with the windows removed and AC unit taken off how much approximately the shell weighs?
Andy i love your videos
2:57 You need to update your Apple ID settings. :D I thought it was on my mac for a second, haha. Awesome build!
I built one14 feet tall and14 feet wide. 8 inch pipes for uprights braced with1 inch rod on a 6x6 square tube base. The top is4 inch I beams 2 stacked. I picked up the front of my 24000 pound tractor with a5 ton chain fall. It was made from scraps I had laying around. I don't think I have anything it won't lift.
Looks like this would be a amazing way to lift a cab
Love your diy videos man try to do some experiments and diy myself! Don’t always go
right though 🤣
Ah, you did get an old Airstream. Cool!
Do you think 2 of these could support the roof of a school bus chopped at the windows? Trying to do a roof raise for a "skoolie" conversion using something similar albeit taller to accommodate the bus
Hmmm, gotta look up those child labor laws! LOL. I used a similar technique of sandwiching beams (in my case 4x4 between 2x6's) to build a 16 x 14 pergola. You get a lot of strength that way. Nice video. Thanks Andy!
You should consider flux core welding! With wood prices so high, steel for structural work is way cheaper. Pine is about $1.30 per lb and steel is about ¢42 per lb here in North Carolina
There's a whole lot of screwing in this video.
Where . . .
Giggity
what drill is that? looks like it does a fantastic job with everything you do using it
Andy I hope you changed the lock keypad combination....
Bunch of 2x6's from the big box store? Schemed it up while you were there? This sounds like my style of build haha!
i like the bottom-eject shotgun
Great build Andy I have a question useing your design and going 2x6 like yours !’ You think it would be aquatic enough to lift a 1973 k5 blazer body tub off the frame to do my frame off restoration??
I thought about building the same thing for lifting/raising the roof of a school bus conversion except I was thinking of building it 16 feet high
For your lift on the school bus , use 4 camper jacks they will lift it easy.
What og you have a fire?
Moving targets for Matt Carracker?
Your gantry is very similar to one I made several years ago mine was only six foot tall and not as heavily constructed.
Wonder if I built 2 of them it would be strong enough to lift the cab off of my f350 to bulletproof the engine?
How much weight can it hold
How much weight would you confidently lift with just one of these?
Now would leave the chain hoist out in the weather or take it down every time..if so why so high..???
Junes got better control of that hammer than i do... carpenters daughter for sure!
Great job but why carriage bolts over hex head ?
Build a huge swing out of that
what kind of mill is that back there at 2:02
The Shop Inspector (Puppy) likes your work
How much was just the cost of the wood?
I have the space and need one of these for sure. I will add wheels set in the landings though and add some 10 ga or 1/4" steel to the axle holes a foot or so. Great design bud. Great to see your shop swampers show up to give dad a hand eh ! Longer plywood on the vertical would be a good idea as well. We tend to exercise things like this a lot. Gramps always said "You can't overbuild a saw mill eh" LOL.
top beams, are the weak point, at 2x6. 2x8 would have improved load. Not to mention, deck screws, are not structural, which is what everyone reaches for. Loved the build. But, if I'm lifting something heavy enough to hurt me if it falls, I'd prefer 2x8's, or 2x10's, on the top. The vertical 2x6's, are strong enough.
did you ever end up using the scaffolding feature?
That’s a lot of screws. Do you always screw around this much on all your projects?
What are you planning to lift a sherman tank?
IS a sawmill on it's way???
I want one.. I'de lift... motors..
Could you give us a overall cost of assembly?
Easy call Rona
Our dogs are twins! Does yours have Chow in him?
I'm looking for a way to lift fiberglass pools. Any reason I couldn't do a similar design, but 16' wide? The max weight on the pools is only about 3k lbs, they're just wide.
Never happen you will break the pool with water indside
@@kingtut5923 yes, a 16x40 fiberglass pool with water would weigh around around 100 tons. I wouldn't lift a pool with water in it.
You should be able to use a similar concept for lifting empty pool shells, but your beam (and legs) would need to be much, MUCH stronger than this to support lifting 3k lbs overhead, centered on a 16ft span. That scale of project would warrant getting a proper steel A-frame, and a fairly big one at that. Finding a setup that can span 16 feet is going to be the hard part.
You said in the video that you are not an engeneer. I am ;) College was mostly about making calculations but since I work in the field I don't don't do much calculation at all. In my experience engeneering is 70% educated guessing, 5% calculating and 25% scratching your head where to put the last bolt :D
Of couse this may vary from company to company.
nah, that's seems like most engineering.
I'm a retired engineer and I agree.
I started life building a few houses then went on to...... any way this reminds me of the time a home was being built in my neighborhood and due to the grade the concrete was tricky. Even knowing the general, I stopped to poke my nose in and a sub told me to leave rather rudely. So.. I got my hard hat, clipboard, tape, and pocket protector, drove my truck up blocking everyone in walked all over the place jotting scribbles on my clip board and no one would make eye contact with me. I kept this up for 2 weeks. I thought it was funny, I think the workers were nervous! “Who was that, an Engineer?”
What do you use to make your design online
He used Sketchup. It was a google creation, bought out by a company called Trimble. They have a tiered pricing model.
the neighbors probably thought you were contracted by the sheriff to build a couple sets of gallows
The body of your Airstream.
building a set of gallows in your yard
Do you want to buy my Ekstrom Carlson 112-A edge sander? You will need this to pick it up! 😂
Wow! Your daughter has some serious hammer skills! #bringingthemupright
I'm just here for the screwing.
I would use a piece of leather to soften the load on the wood at the strap.
With my gallows crane, I placed a piece of flat steel on top where the chains go over; two pieces of angle iron would actually have been better but I didn't have any. Leather wouldn't do much of anything once weight comes onto it.
and time to change your doorbell code
"DoNt sKIp tHe sPOnSorED CoNTenT"
Everyone on TH-cam: *skips the sponsored content*
why would you drill a hole though a beam you want to be strong ? Is it a test one with a hole and one without, see which is stronger ?
Overkill!
good video but does me no good, dont have those kind of huge cutting tools at my disposal
First the gun stock videos with a huge cross in the background, now… gallows?
This entire video was a tease, from a whole lot of screwing, to the sneak peaks, to needed to wait for the payoff.
Mate if you want a tea party in your shop you have one! That’s your shop! Apparently you have to lift your pinky finger when you drink the tea though... kidding love the videos!!
a 4 minute advertisement in the video. good lawd
Who are you hanging?
If your door code is anything close to 6412, you should change it, if it's not already done. I know you are well protected with SimpliSafe but still, better be safe.
"This will be made entirely out of 2x6s", he says as he unloads 2x4s.
I like you
Somebody is also trying to kill them selves judging by the thumbnail
I skipped the sponsored content and have no idea what I missed.🤔
Exactly!
4:50 .... Hmmmm
use the < and > to adjust frame by frame too
On the question of whether the plywood changes the span to a point load: absolutely not. The plywood will definitely help with racking, but it will not shorten the length to the center from the load-bearing members. And if you think about it you already know this. Half of the grain of the plywood runs parallel to your Cross Beam. So if the plywood was glued and screwed, then half of the plywood's thickness would be added to the thickness of your Cross Beam in determining its load capacity. But that's all you get out of the plywood. What you don't get is a shortening of the cross beam, which is highly relevant when calculating appoint load capacity.
what the heck is up with the long infomercial in middle? ridiculous!
Why don't you clue?
@@calm-ce1wp Ok.
FYI, when you talk sponsored anything I FF.
Fervently Follow? Find it Fascinating? Fillet O Fish?
Just so you want try it, you cannot lift the earth from the surface of the earth.
Yeah you risk turning it inside out like a sock!!!
I thought the topic of this vid was gantry crane, not you!
Except that I already pay for youtube premium so I dont have to watch ads Andy... not cool to mess with your subscribers like that
Just skip it dude. No big deal.
Hair cut
17 minute teaser you are cruel!!!
Looking forward to see you picking up something heavy................
Andy, I'm NOT trying to be an ahole or anything just genuinely worried - I don't think it's a good idea to show your entire home security system and how it works on youtube. Do you feel confident doing that?
That's only his back up system. He has "tools" hanging on the wall of the shop and probably in his home to keep the family safe.
@@robblumling3211 Obviously. But he's not always at home...
@@tocov True, hes married to a Texas woman though she probably shoots better than he does. Lol
Hmmm. A gantry crane costs a couple of hundred. You will always need it given the scale of your machines. I don’t see why you build this chunky thing out of wood, but of course you can do whatever.
I'm looking for one to lift #100+ MDF in my garage but I cant find one that cheap.
Where could I get 1 for a couple hundred? Honest question.
Thanks
You ok? Seem a tad “skinny” compared to your normal skinny self.
Lots of annoying yammering and dizzying camera work. This is the quality that attracts 460k subscribers. I am no longer surprised that cats getting brain-freeze videos are so popular.
Damn dude you just made a long commercial! Waist of time
