I`m getting started on building a lightweight similar contraption to be interchangeable with the front bucket of a loader as well as the back of a truck. 24' long to handle 5-800 lbs in and out of a van. btw nice looking piece of eq.

Its got two pto's, one for the little side winch driven off the main trans., and the big winches run off the aux.
I think I can change speed on the big winches by what gear in the main. I don't think it has a reverser, I think you reverse in the main trans. The little pto has a reverser. It didn't come with a instruction manual, or a wizened old gnome folded up in the glove box, that could pop out at the right time and slap me "THAST NOT THE WAY YA DO THATTHERE YA IDJIT!!!!"

I've got one on the back burner that would be a jib mounted on forklift forks for a telehandler or straight mast forklift, and use a 12v winch up over a head sheave and a battery set on the frame. Remote control and I'd be golden.

You ain't really using those gin poles unless the fronts are over 2' in the air.
You bend those and I've got a new set here to replace them. 5 1/2 od, 3 1/2 id mains, with 3 1/4 od x 1 1/4 id extensions. I've got a 30T single sheave tailboard block to go with them.

We helped build this house a few years back. Something is bleeding through the stucco/ siding finish. Looks like steel chicken wire instead of aluminum, but I ain't no finish expert. Anyways, the homeowner is a doctor, and they are moving houses, and taking the swim spa and hot tub with them. I don't know if they're moving to fix this house, or its all in court, or what's going on, I'm just moving the tub.
I do know I'm glad I'm not the general that built this house, because it was all custom design, and the little bit that I was involved was a mess when being built.
Maybe I'll get to put it back when the house is redone.
