Bracket for scaffolding hoist

[Adam Marshall]

Hi I have a scaffolding hoist and would like to make a gallow type bracket so I can mount it on my scaffolding sort of like a right angle with a corner brace with hinges on so I can move it around at the top of the scaffolding. It's only for my use so I was wondering material wise 40mm x 40mm box section with 4mm wall what do you think?

First thing you need to do is the calcs so you dont overload the scaffold, you should be able to buy a bracket?

2 scaffold brackets with gate hinges on them

then a rigging out pole

there weight loaded if it fails and health and safety get involved your in real trouble

a hoist swing arm is another reference
