Industrial Warehouse Hoist

[RobertW]

Hi

 

I'm currently building a 2-storey warehouse structure. It's based around a low relief version of the Dapol booking hall. I'm using the double door entrances to the kit as a hoist. I'm not sure of the design of the hoist support at the top. I'm thinking of some kind of structure constructed of I-beams.

 

Does anybody have any examples of hoist supports, or any guidance on designing my own?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Rob

Many external hoists were covered with a Lucam

Like this.

 

Otherwise  a single I Beam, however some were more ornate. See Graeme Hedges scratchbuilt buildings thread.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards
