Who has made themselves a home shop gantry system? I'm assuming a beam the width of the room, and a track on each side the length of the room for the beam to ride on. A track on the beam, and from there you can reach anywhere within 2 ft of the walls and corners. Extend the track on the walls to the outside, and be able to load from a truck- under a canopy would be nice. When I get to build my new shop, it would be nice to be able to load everything in without having to lift and carry it- then anytime something heavy has to be toted, the system can do it.
Is it even worth it to think about this? Brians post about moving his lathe got me thinking about it. If you were starting the building from scratch, would you do it?
