Is a personal gantry overkill? (1 Viewer)

I am looking into a Titan 2000lb adjustable and mobile gantry. The main purpose for this lift would be regular removal of the hard top from a '73 FJ. I dont have a garage, or a group of friends for this sort of thing. I am a small guy so I thought this would be the safest solution. This particular gantry can be rolled over the truck and is supposedly easy to setup and break down. It is a large upfront investment, however, for an oddly specific need. Although it would be great if I need to remove the chevy engine at some point i guess.

A gantry would be handy for lots of stuff, if you have the room to store it when not in use.

yea storage is a whole other issue that will need to be addressed soon haha

A gantry would be handy for a lot of things, but they're pretty expensive. I just disassemble and remove the roof by myself.

I won't consider your gantry overkill if you don't consider the bridge crane I'm putting in my workshop overkill…

oh man thats great! You could probably pick up the whole car with one of those and turn it around in the shop. No more need for reverse!

When I built the workshop I designed some extra capacity into the beams, but not that much!
