I'm building a small shelter for my RV. The scissor trusses weigh about 50lbs. I need to to lift them 17' at the top of the truss or 14' at the underside center.
My plan:
Use 3 14' 2x4 screwed together (poll) and ubolted to 1 pallet fork with a hook on the 14' end.
I use the front end loader with the pallet forks to lift into place.
Weight of the trusses and "Pole" is about 92lbs.
Can a tractor/front end loader that can lift 1000 with the forks on have the ability to lift the 50lb truss at the end of a 14' pole?
I have other ways to do this, but this sounded fun and a challenge.
