That baby can suck some air. You're gonna need a big screw to run it for more than 3 seconds. I've have made the trade for it too.

Wow -- haven't seen one of those industrial ones in a long time. Great trade Jabber! Do you have any specific purpose for it?

i have used one. in one of my former lives i worked as a grain elevator millwright. we used it to pull 4 x 8 sheets of steel up into hopper bins for a grain elevator rebuild.

cheap bastards used c clamp vice grips to grab the sheets  and then put a hook into them. a couple sheets came flying down when the handles got hooked on something. other than the  grain dust explosions, falling sheets of steel and burmese tiger traps of cut up steel in hopper bottoms to fall on a it was a great job. oh yeah, i forgot the sub zero weather and the fact that they pay checks were perpetually late.

Nice trade Jabber.

I've got an air driven chain fall I've been wanting to get working. I'm not sure if its not working or if my compressor aint giving it enough air. Much smaller than that one but still has 1/2in airlines.

I`ve had this smaller air winch bolted to the floor in my shop for a few years.
It`ll drag a 68 eldo right in just using my Ingersoll Rand t30 air compressor.

You need to quit lying to yourself and just get a forklift...

Once you have a forklift, you will always have one.  Can't imagine not having one.  Looking for a second one for my new place.
