sled lift project

[Maxwell]

I did not have in process pictures, just final project picts.

I'll post those next.

This was my first true welding project. I used the HH 175 at work. I loved it so much I went and bought my own welder!

This lift works good for ATVs also!

Enjoy

Hi all,

Thanks for the praise. The software i used was Solidworks. It is a pretty powerful solid modeler that has decent 2D detail capabilities.

This design is my "reverse engineered" version of units that are available for around $300 bucks.

It will lift a 650 lb sled about 24" of the ground. And will collapse to about 3" off the ground.

I use it for service my snowmobiles and for storage (takes the weight off the suspension).

If I build another one I'd think about using a 1/2" drill for the raise and lower. (still might modifythis version)

P.S. I am interested in the following projects and would enjoy your input, experiences and/or plans:

1) Welding table
2) Tube bender ( need this for the next project)
3) Go-Cart
4) Bike rack for receiver hitch

This welding table was posted here. I still don't remember who originally posted it, but he will come forward and tell you.
