Those are in order of preference, and also the order of most work to install. It will either be a swinging jib crane (mounted next to the air compressor), a traveling crane that covers most of the work area, a simple beam with a trolly on it or even just a mobile A-frame type. I sketched in the area for the two post lift, but am still undecided on the type of crane to go with. With that said, I've attached a rough layout of what I'm envisioning the shop to be setup like. I will probably be installing a 2-post lift and some type of overhead crane (chain fall.) Both of which may need some additional concrete work in the initial stages. So in the construction of the building there are a few things I am trying to plan ahead for. Already got started on that, more on that later. Basically all I have to do for site work is cut the bank back a little behind the building, strip off the sod and do some minor leveling. There is a small shed there that will be torn down before the actual construction starts. The site was already mostly level from an old building that came down years ago. It was at a decommissioned RJ Reynolds plant in NC and my FIL, BIL and myself took it down for basically scrap prices (It was originally 40x120, FIL is building the other half at his place.) It will be built on concrete piers for the posts to sit on and will only have a concrete floor in the shop portion. I already have the building, it's a 40圆0x12 metal building that was built in 1956. Within the next month or two I'll be starting to build a shop for our farm.
