Hey guys, figure I would post here. Not sure whether or not anyone has made one, but was hoping to see and if so, bounce off some ideas of it. I don't really socialize with anyone else on the forum except you guys. I was hoping to use one of these for many things, such as hoisting my elk for hunting in and out of my truck and lifting other things as well. Maybe even see if I can hoist out firewood logs from the pickup bed...
Anyways, I really was thinking about doing this all in pressure treated wood instead of metal. I'm not sure if anyone knows their stuff about lumber or if they have built one with lumber. I'm trying to figure out how I can design it using lumber. As I would think making one from steel is not only going to be significantly heavier, but also spendier...
My plans are to make it 12 ft tall, 12 ft long, and 10 ft wide. I'd like to use some fairly large wheels to help it navigate through dirt and grass. Will be using a chain hoist instead of winch...
Anyways, anyone got anything they can offer?
