== Background ==
In the past when the old plasma table was young and abused we had a member kindly lend us a gantry crane to move sheets on and off of it as well as to assist in moving other heavy things around the space. That member eventually left and with them the gantry crane. As anyone who has tried if you don't have people to help lifting steel sheet onto the plasma table can be dangerous and hart to impossible to do. With a new gantry crane system members can more easily lift thicker/larger sheets on/off the plasma table and the membership can have a easier time moving around the different machines and tools of the space.
Here is a list of what will be purchased as part of the new gantry crane system.
1x [https://www.palletforks.com/workshop/cranes/1-ton-telescoping-gantry-crane/840045.html Gantry Crane 1 ton capacity]
1x [https://www.palletforks.com/workshop/cranes/1-ton-push-trolley/840072.html Gantry Trolley 1 ton]
1x [https://www.grainger.com/product/DAYTON-Manual-Chain-Hoist-2-1VW55?opr=PDPDAM&analytics=msubItems_2Z554&position=1 Chain Hoist]
4x [https://www.grainger.com/product/LIFT-ALL-Web-Sling-6-ft-Sling-Lg-38R692 Lifting Strap]
1x [https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/38385076 Magnetic Lifter 250# capacity]
== Why Only 1 Ton Capacity ==
The main reason only 1 ton was chosen is we have a very small number of tools that weight more than 2000# and some of those tools already have moving systems built in. It was decided that for the amount it would cost to go to a 2 ton gantry and the amount of usage it would get above half its capacity would not be viable in our current economic situation.
== Language of the Vote ==
We authorize the board or a board selected representative to spend up to on purchasing a gantry crane and its necessary accessories.
