Setting up the Trolley of the New Gantry Crane - Making a Cable Guide System - 2 Ton Capacity Gantry

It sucks to get old! Everything gets heavier, especially in this business. Since I like doing big and heavy parts, it was time for an upgrade in my lifting capacity.

The Caldwell 2 Ton Gantry Crane fit the bill. 12 Feet under the beam and 10 Feet between uprights, it fits nicely in the shop. The Yale 2 ton hoist that I bought used, will work wonders, but with a few upgrades.

Watch as I build and set up my cable guide system for cord management. Something that I don't feel I can safely live without.
