Over the past week and a half I have been to 2 auctions. At the first one I bought an A frame and 2 heavy chain falls; plus a bar fridge and a heater for my trailer build. Fridge was $35, heater for $2 and two sets of chain falls on the A frame for $50.I have been looking for awhile for an A frame or metal to build one. Bought this one on one bid. Here are the A frame and c f's pics. I already had a heavy set and they are hanging on frame. Two sets on floor will be sold.

At the second auction I bought 2 Vauxhall engines for $5 each and a bolt bin and all the contents for $85. Pic of bin still in the truck tonight is a bit dark but I think you can get an idea of what I got. This bin is actually six 12 compartment bins attached together so I may break it up and hang on the wall in several spots.

You stole that Gantry crane.  Looks shop built but study.  On wheels or flat plates?

Greg; it is on wheels but not swivel casters. You can see one end in the engine picture. I will add casters when I find a set. Probably at an auction.LOL.

Greg; no, just runs on the floor. It moves easy with no load but i want casters in case I want to move a heavy load sideways. I am also going to make the cross pieces between the legs a bit longer for more stability. I can afford to spend a bit of time and money on it as I got it dead cheap. LOL.

I can't believe some of the deals that you guys in the midwest find....that frame and hoist would go for at least $500 here
