    Engine Crane Boom Upgrade

    One suggestion: have the coater use an epoxy powder if they’ve got it available in a color you want. Better chemical resistance and a little tougher surface once fully cured.

    Engine Crane Boom Upgrade

    Nice work! You’re right about counter balance. I bought a home made hoist at a farm auction a good 20 yrs ago. Very heavy duty and I was thrilled at the amount the boom extended.
