   I just don't find much good salvage steel around here, although to be   
   honest I've pretty much quit looking.

   The channels etc for my gantry hoist were salvaged standard shapes, the   
   tripods are new material available from local hardware and big box stores,   
   at least for the 2000# capacity versions. Fence dealers may have stronger   
   posts with thicker walls. The upgrade chain and fittings came from a   
   specialty store beside a tractor dealership. The hoists are from Harbor   
   Freight, Northern Tool and a now-closed discount store similar to HF. I   
   don't usually describe things in detail unless they work well for me and   
   others can buy or duplicate them.
