Hi Everyone
I'm currently in the process of building a new 15m x 10m x 4.5m workshop for wood and metal working.
With that in mind i am going to need a crane so when i was digging out the foundations i put down an extra deep part in the slab in the center of one side of the building where i can fit a crane pedestal.
I am thinking whatever it is it will need to reach the other side of the workshop and get a tonne at that point or pretty close. i have been looking at the swing jib cranes from the various UK manufacturers and then i had an idea.
The Hiab style cranes which are fitted to trucks and boats, has anyone ever heard of one of these being fitted inside a workshop? with the telescopic boom etc it would be nearly ideal and would reach all areas and corners. just wondered if anyone had ever seen this before.
Thanks
