Thoughts on come-along 'stand'.

[foose89]

I need the ability to hoist log ends up so that I can place a set of saw stallions  appropriately. My initial thoughts center on a taller saw horse design with a  mount point for a come along. Any comments.

That will work if your tall horses are very strong.

You can save some height by anchoring your come-along at the bottom and having a block/sheave mounted at the top.

I welded two I-beams as legs to an I-beam cross piece with a couple braces, with a pipe welded to the bottom of each leg having the ends curled up and a couple of braces from the pipe to its leg. I've used it as a engine lift and a stump puller and a post puller. You just tie a rope to each leg and slide it over whatever you want to lift. Works good with my 2000# chainfall and you can make the legs as long as you want, as long as the pipes on the bottom are long enough to keep it from tipping.

Thanks all.

 I built this a few years ago be abled to take the sand spreader out of my truck , It is 4 X 6 uprights and 6 X 8 main beam  5 X 5 cross peices and 4 X 4 braces , I have an I bolt through the center and hook my winch or come along to it and hook the sander to it and lift it up .
