looking to build a gantry crane. if you have any stock
that would suit that purpose lmk what you have.
looking for something in my area preferably but
am willing to drive a little ways. ive checked
SLM and there is another local guy but i
havent been out there yet and they are
both reasonable but i figured it wouldnt
hurt to ask. so if you have anything laying
collecting dust and rust going to pot
that you dont need anymore unless you
have the sickness then

lmk

thanks
 
Don't have any stock left over but I built my own gantry as well.
Got all my stock at Steel Materials in Cartersville.
I came out way ahead cost wise and got more crane (with adjustability) for my money.

check out this video. at about the 2 minute mark is roughly how i would
like to build mine.
 
I️ might have some 4” round tubing that was used for corner posts of a commercial metal building. They have angle braces welded on them. I’ll check tomorrow and possibly get some pictures if you’re interested. They’re 10 or 12 feet tall and heavy...
