Question
Libspero
My father needs to hoist an engine out of a boat.. it’s about 100kg.
I was going to suggest setting up a small a-frame in the boat, another larger one supported by the wall of the house.. then running a scaffolding pole across the two.
The idea would be to hoist up the engine using a pulley block and tackle, slide the block from the boat to the ground, then lower the engine onto a pallet to work on the prop shaft before reversing the process and putting it back.
My two questions are:
1) Does anyone know if a 2m scaffolding pole supported end to end will take 100kg in the middle?
2) What kind of bearing could be used to run along a 50mm scaffolding pole and what is it called? I want to call it a runner bearing or some such, but whatever I search for I don’t seem to find anything. I literally just want a 50mm traveller that I can suspend the pulley block from. Any ideas?
