   Perhaps you could suspend a carefully leveled beam track from your existing   
   structure to allow lifting and moving a load off a trailer and onto pipes or   
   machinery mice, then set it on the floor with a J-bar.   
   ...   
   -------------------------   
   Bad example, you can lift the load and move the trailer, and you have tongue   
   jacks.   
      
   Besides the gantry I have tripod hoists that lift vertically, equivalent to   
   your stationary suspended hoist. They are cheaper, simpler and lighter and   
   what I use most, though for assembling the parts of a milling machine or   
   similar jobs a moving gantry is better.
