Perhaps instead use a pair of these to start with so you are not limited to a particular spacing between clamps. https://www.mccowntech.com/product_images/import/M-TOW-A.pdf
Then a pipe, coupled to another pipe for the swivel etc etc. From: That One Guy /sarcasm Sent: Friday, February 3, 2017 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Gin pole for lifting gear up grain legs the mtows are 500lbs each? I would think so, the grain leg ones alot of times are this same concept, pipe sitting on a pin with a grease zerk on it and a sleeve or flat metal halfway up that it goes through, no bearings really. The middle sleeve is where the bulk of the force ends up i think On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 2:12 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: OK, but I could use my mount as the base and then the arm and pulley from your drawing on top, yes?

I think Valmont makes one designed die a tower that puts the pulley or about 3 feet and is really handy for mounting disks on the side of towers. Chuck should make one.

This would allow us to attach our pulley above the structure so we can lift our gear up and over the railings at our sites. Any idea what exactly I should be looking for and any recommended products for us to look at?
