The Garage Post

Sam and Harris spent the morning working at PICo drilling mounting holes in the garage post. The post will stand between the third and fourth stalls and support the jib crane we plan to install in the garage at the “L” Shaped House. The photo below shows Sam as he switches to the 9/16” drill bit in the portable magnetic drill press. First we carefully aligned the mounting brackets for the jib crane on the post and used a transfer punch to mark the position of the holes. Finally we precisely locate the drill press above the starter holes and drill through the mounting plates. We delivered the finished post to the house around noon today for Paul to install in the garage.

See the engineering data here

The video shows Harris running the Bux Drill as he completes one of the 9/16” holes in the post.

The last photo shows the finished beam on the floor in the garage. Paul Winters will now stand the post up under the 8” beam in the ceiling and anchor it to the floor.

Hi,
Crane sizes run the gamut from the enormous ones all the way to much smaller ones which tend to be used in factories and workshops.
Thanks
Jib Crane
