This beam was too heavy for us to lift, so we had to make some accommodations!

What happens here

The video begins with workers actively fastening components, likely making final adjustments to the temporary wooden gantry structure or the existing deck frame. This structure, which appears to be a robust wooden gantry or crane, is already erected and serves as the primary support for the lifting mechanism. A chain hoist is visible attached to the top of this temporary structure, ready for use.

Goal: Ensure the temporary gantry and chain hoist are ready for operation.

Tools and materials

  • Chain Hoist — Manually lifting the heavy wooden beam
  • Cordless Drill / Impact Driver — Fastening components of the temporary structure or deck frame
  • Temporary Wooden Gantry Structure N/A — Providing overhead support for the chain hoist during the lift
  • Wood Screws / Nails — Securing the temporary gantry and deck components
