Not sure whether you are still looking or if this is too pricey but thought it may be of interest.

there is a cheaper version but it has a girder clamp rather than trolley

Hi Baron, I had done exactly that, rotated, resized and saved on computer before posting, which is why I apologised for them being lazy when they uploaded. Didn't used to be a problem with the same camera and win XP or Win 7 and software that ancient, seems to be with new computer, win 10 and current gen software. Same camera and USB connection etc so I guess it's the software preserving more data or something. Need to do some more research.
I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.

Don't know if you are interested in this, but my first suggestion was the H&F 1T portable gantry, later linked to by Michael G. This weeks Weekly Times had the H&F Feildays specials catalogue with Michael G's first link reduced to $935 on page 5. Coupon Code for online order is FDAYS19 valid until 13/10/19.

Thanks, but I think I've found a solution
4WD, rear steer, powered by a 2cyl air cooled Lister diesel.
Was a small construction tipper in a prev life - likely 1970's.
Most importantly, I had management approval prior to buying it

That looks just the ticket, any idea as to lifting capacity? Not to be nosy Steve, but what it set you back???
Take Management out to tea or something even worse???

Not sure as to lifting capacity, but the guy I bought it off was using it to lift/drag cars around in a paddock and pull engines etc.
Cost me $1600 and a commitment to management that I reduce the "dead" vehicle count by two.

Steve, that's a good price for the lifter, but the other to me, would be a hard pill to swallow, having to get rid of 2 of your treasures!!!!

Nice piece of gear there Steve.
The attachments you could make for doing those jobs around the yard and garage.

You read my mind!
A leveling frame/blade to keep her driveway manicured, forklift mast, tipping bucket to load the ute with...
Amazing what becomes possible once you have mobility and hydraulics!!!
First things first though. I need to sort out the 3/4 of a turn free play in the steering box. Makes directional control "interesting".
Particularly when you mistakenly select third gear instead of first. Given the lug tyres on it I was quite surprised when it spun the LHF wheel as it bolted forward with me flailing the steering wheel around trying to get it to point where I wanted. Guessing it's got a massive flywheel as it didn't stall.
Lesson learned - fwd left is high gear, fwd right is first.
