This device can be useful in two- or three-story private houses for lifting oversized cargo. Also, the process of manufacturing a mini-crane for a home is an excellent workshop for those who like to make various interesting crafts with their own hands.
For this homemade product you will need a gear unit with a worm gear. As an electric drive, you can use a power drill or a conventional cordless screwdriver. If desired, you can install a separate engine from any household appliance.
Mini crane: milestones
As the basis for a home-made home mini-crane, you can use a thick steel plate welded with the letter "G". The gear unit will be mounted on one side, and on the other - a steel coil for winding the cable (its diameter directly depends on the cable length).
To interconnect the shafts of the coil and gearbox, you need to make a couple of adapters of different diameters. You can also use a piece of steel pipe with two holes in which the bolts are screwed. But the adapters are still more reliable.
When the basic structural elements are assembled and secured, it remains to make only the rotary mechanism and the boom of the mini-crane, at the end of which it is necessary to fix the pulley for the steel cable. Then we clean the welds, process the surface with a grinding disc and paint.
At the last stage, we wind the cable onto a reel. The process of manufacturing a mini-crane for the home, see the video on our website. Leave your comments what you think about this homemade product.
