 All right guys, I redesigned my ladder crane and I wanted to show you guys what I came up with so this one here is More universal and the way it works is basically we went to an electric winch. It's a 1500 pound badmonds I took the bracket they have here went ahead and Trimmed it cut some of it off Extended it up into here put on a piece of square tubing there It's got holes drilled up here to the top so you can pin it anywhere you want so you can move it left Or right whatever you need you're able to pivot it with the eyelet here which It gives you a pivot point is normally you'd be up there and you would clamp just at the base Where the foot pegs are at and this thing would be able to move whatever you need to do So you drop your cable down to here lift it up once you get to the top you can pivot it over and drop it down onto the Roof and This runs on 120 volts. So here's one of the jigs I call it that will get your oppressor or whatever it is you want to lift up onto the roof What I did here is a square tubing generally one of these are gonna hit the foot peg the way I look at it You're not gonna lift a compressor that weighs more than 200 300 pounds this ladder should be rated for 300 pounds So yeah, if you're on the wrong that's gonna be more than capable of holding it I know there was some cranes out there. They were like, oh, we can just get it all on the on the outside corner That's great. So my philosophy is if the ladder is not strong enough to hold you Then you don't need to be using it to lift up something super stupid heavy What we have here is a schedule 80 black iron pipe I bought that in a scrap yard. I bought this square tubing in a scrap yard You could do a c-channel the whole thing about these when you're building them is it's really really difficult to find Inside outside tube diameters that you want now I will mention as you're putting this on and taking it off This will actually hold itself in place You could use all thread or you can use the bolts that I have here So if you had something really thick and you wanted to mount this on the side of a block building or whatever You could do that. But say when we take this off, there you go So it actually hold itself in the position you can store these blocks right here on it and like I said, we have the Traction paper there in between it to help keep it from sliding then I've got a couple extra washers here and then this is just gonna mount together this makes the Ladder crane a little more useful because it's gonna work on all types of ladders It's gonna work on step ladders extension ladders and straight ladders like this Which you'll run into a variety of all these but this is gonna give you the most universal Crane that I have seen these parts. I'll have multiple roles. So here we have the hitch fitting and We are able to Put that same gym in there I made it so that it just clears that take your same piece that you had earlier. Let's go ahead and put it On there like that. So essentially either have power where you're at Or you've got power in your van like I do. I've got a power inverter a 1500 watt And you're able to lift that right up Which this is a small compressor But it's for demonstration purposes only So we've got it up there high enough that we can get it to that point right there and we can just swing it in And then we can let her right down inside the van without killing ourselves Boom just like that now, of course that compressor if it was like a much bigger one You'd have a hard time loading it. So That just makes it a lot easier now This islet has two different Reasonings behind it you're gonna be able to use this to lift it up to the top Say you're gonna go up that ladder you're gonna be able to pull it up hook a rope onto it and it uses a pin So, I mean, is it perfect? No, you could weld something permanently on there You could actually put a coupling around there and weld it in place and that would work now Let's go ahead and take a look at some of the other stuff that can do and that pretty much Takes this one out of the equation Now you have This is massively over engineered. That's I believe three sixteenths I broke it on a power brake It's very strong overly strong and you're gonna use this for your straight ladder That's the one you've seen before straight ladder or your utility ladder. It hooks right on to it this Goes into here It's got a place where you can pin it and you can raise the different heights or if you want you can come through the Backside I didn't have that flexibility before now. This may look a little bit familiar You can take this piece here stick it through that's your handle Hope you need to here Adjust it wherever you want take your pins Pin your winch in wherever you need it to be at. I'm gonna be here there or wherever and Lock it in multiple different locations Essentially, this is to emick a straight ladder Straight ladder is going to be I think 12 inches on center If you go up here to the top of these ladders And go off the top one You should see that you're right there at about 12 inches most of them are all gonna be exactly the same because of the OSHA stuff so That there will work on straight ladders. It'll work on anywhere. You can hook this thing at I mean this thing is deep Our inside diameter here is right at about three and a quarter So if you break it right there at about three and a quarter area That'll give you plenty of inseam there on the down the bottom here. I'm about three and a half It was just because the break wouldn't fit any other way. It was about the most I could get I went ahead and went extra deep So our depth here. We got about four and a quarter and on the other side We're right at about four inches. So we're right at four inches there It's gonna be the same there now our base tubing here This is where you're gonna have your hardest time Getting inside outside tubing for me It's very difficult to get it because most people don't want to sell to you because you ain't buying a lot of metal And it measures in inch and five eighths looks like there so inch and five eighths squared The tubing here and here is exactly the same all the way along here this tubing measures in Inside diameter about an inch and three quarters, and then this plate up here same thing I just paste these out right out about an inch and a half Yeah, about an inch and a half separation there between them. So there's that piece. There's Use number one on the ladder straight ladder use number two on a straight extension ladder or a A frame ladder or you can work on a trolley system just like I've done right here And you can sit there and move it back and forth and let's just say for example that this right here was your hatchway you're able to Pick up your heavy load whether it be a compressor or whatever Once it gets up to the top here and go ahead and pull it over and then let it down It does have a little bit of a canner there while it's setting there with no load on it But once you put a load on it look on the simple button here and Here she goes right on up So as you can see that puts her right in line with the cable and Obviously this weighs more than what a compressor is going away So now I need to get busy cleaning my blades out getting this thing ready to go because it's a mess because it's been crappy weather here lately I think it's a big improvement over the previous one that I built where basically just use some L channel and Welded the piece onto the backs My feeling is this is truly the ultimate ladder crane Now you've got the power to lift up anything that you want to lift up you've got a Bracket that's strong universal it folds down. You can take it all apart Fits right in the back of your vehicle and then with the pole here. You have the option of loading your truck So you can get the compressor into the back of your truck out of your truck Up the ladder onto the roof and then if you had to lower it down in there You could use a 10-foot a frame ladder and hook that on to the rungs of it and lower it down into the compressor If you need to do that this is my ultimate Ladder crane if you guys like the video, please like share and subscribe leave your comments down below until next time guys We'll catch you on the next one I guess I can take a second here to show you what I've gotten my little bag here for my probes What I do with mine is I've got a ball valve that's obviously removable Onto a straight regular six-foot hose with a regular tee. I took the straighter out of this side here That's the side always fill on so it makes it easy there Got a little bit of nylog in there and then a traditional straight probe thermometer and then a Valve core tool one of my ones that doesn't hold vacuum as well as some of the others So I use it for like recoveries and things like that Then I have these old valves these come in handy when you can't get the Filtile piece probes into those tight spots So I just hook that on there and I keep them in there in case I need to get into those tight spots Plus I got a ball valve on it, so it works out real well Then I do got one extra air probe. I use that for my ambient So now I use some heavy-duty tape to label it and like I said, I want this 905 I So far it seems pretty good the range on it ain't squat But generally I'm going to be right at the unit when I'm doing my measurements So it works out pretty good on that I'm also bought the 405 I wire manometer, so thanks to Zach over at HVAC shop talk I won a gift certificate to TrueTech tools which you know is one of the top places out there to get your gizmos at A great price so while I was ordering and getting my money off and Used my discount code that Zach's got To get your 8% I ended up deciding to buy something additional so the marketing ploy technically worked So thanks to them, you know boom I got two gizmos at once which I haven't got a chance to use this too much It's more for residential than it's going to be for commercial Just because of the capabilities and the length of the probes not super long But those are two of my new gizmos
