    Kyle, I saw a version of your mini crane, the triangulated structure, on a boat trailer on a tv show about living in Alaska. The guy was hoisting logs 1200 lb limit. He had two small log pieces bonded as a temporary skid ramp to get the end of the log to go up at first and he left the hoist...

    In your first drawing it looks like the two-gin-poles assembly has to have a strong union, or anti-spread cable/member at their base, or good strength/rigidity of the two-uprights structure they pivot off of to prevent spread failure. Unless you got that covered and I missed it. The big unit...
