All,
I have searched BeeSource but I cannot find the thread and hope maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
Someone posted their design of a hive mover that incorporated a hand truck and it had arms that wrapped around the hive that are locked into place and then a hand cranked boat winch was used to lift the hive. It looked like a cool design and want to model one like it.
Can someone please point me to the correct thread?
Thanks in advance!

There were a couple of thread yesterday:

They prompted me to look up a hand cranked platform lift I used to have at work. Not quite what you want but a close relative.

Yes, I saw these but they are not the design I'm looking for. The one I am looking for was a standard red hand truck that had a frame bolted to it and a hand cranked winch mounted to the hand truck's handle.

Thanks for helping.

Nice fabrication job!

Should be useful for things other than hives, as well. Looks light and inexpensive.
