BoomPole 3PH hoist ?

I'd like to use it to load my pickup or at slaughtering.

Thanks

The CAL Ranch store in Ogden UT still has 7 or 8 of them. I didn't think their clearance price was that impressive. I've heard of other stores selling them for $50 every day.

I used mine to pick up a 14.9-28 tire and rim loaded with CaCL. Don't know what it weighed, but the pole had no problem with it.

I was thinking that maybe a telescoping pipe arrangement like one of those house post supports might work. They're good for 8 tons vertical, so I figure 2 tons when tilted at 45degrees on the 3ph.

The other thing, how big of a tractor are you putting this on? whatever you hang on the back is balanced by the front end of the tractor. Don't know of many older under 50 hp tractors that can lift 4000 lbs with the 3point, or counter balance it with the front end that heavy.

If you need something that heavy, you better give more details of what you are planning, so people can help more.

I was refering to what the house support pipe could possibly handle at that angle without bending. I would probably weld a truss arrangement over the pipe to be safe but that wouldn't look too good. 900lbs I figure would be about tops what I would want to lift. The tractor is a IH434 which is actually a clone 424. Weighs in at 3600lbs or so soaking wet.
