I enjoy fabricating pumpkin lifing equipment almost as much as growing. A light weight lifting tripod I threw together out of junk laying around the shop. I plan on using this device to lift the 300 to 400 lb pumpkin in the greenhouse. Legs are only 1 3/4 inch in diameter but made from P-110 grade steel. Chain hooks welded 4 ft below the top keep legs from accidently moving outward and in the process strengthen the structure as well. Had this up in 5 minutes by myself with the help from a step ladder. Will post pics of the lift and load into truck on Aug 31st.
