yes it is,i missed that.i have a 2 by 2 square stock .250 thick in the shop i used to lift engines with.3 by 3 will work.

Have some free time, it's sunny & 46 degrees. Let's clean this unit up. Also found in stock 2 more NIB 1 ton Cyclone chain hoists, Ebay hoist sale-athon soon. LOL!

Look on craigslist for a pneumatic chain hoist sometimes $125 they work great.

Ok, all cleaned up, wiped down, ready for primer and paint. Rustoleum combines them. Here we go!

Will look at them. I do want to have a new 1/2 ton CM cyclone for this unit. I don't want to remove these other new hoists from their box and work them, I'll just sell them. In the meantime, since I am used hoist poor at the moment, I am on my way over to see a retired Ironworker who says he has a clean, small, 500 lb, used CM chain hoist. Chain fall type. A rigging hoist, temporary use for me.
I can't buy it from him, but he will cut cards for it against cash. These old Ironworkers, gotta love them.

Paint is finished/curing. Meanwhile I have a used/clean/small CM hoist to utilize while I pursue a 1/2 ton Cyclone. Hopefully Sunday I can mount the crane in place. So far this project has cost $16.00/paint.

Hoist mounting hardware. Crosby G-209 galvanized screw pin shackle, Crosby G-341 galvanized pear shaped link.

i have a brand new 800 lb dayton electric hoist i can sell you CHEEP.

I bought a CM Cyclone last night for this unit. I'm brand loyal to Columbus McKinnon. Thank you for the offer to sell me the Dayton, I appreciate it.
