Thanks JB,Looks great and I would trust it for overhead lifting, which of course is the most critical of all lifting applications.
For myself, was thinking maybe instead of the chain, make a steel frame that dropped down the sides and under the beam to support the chain fall lift.
The only problem is, it is so unconventional that God forbid any accident ever occurred, all interested parties are gonna ask "who came up with this"?
IMO there's just no way you're gonna disclaim liability, The fact that you are already thinking/worried about it, makes it not worth leaving there.
Take it all down and forget about it, it's not like you have alot invested in it, except maybe time and pride.
Probably would never be a problem, and I'm not the type to go around pointing out potential long term liability issues. well actually I am, being a contractor I'm always conscientious of loss prevention, protecting the insurance companies to keep premiums down.
But in this case you brought up the concern.
JB.
Your last two paragraphs echo my similar concerns.
