Screw Hoist ~ RESTORATION ~ All Mechanical Chain Hoist ~ Back in Service!

- čas přidán 17. 01. 2020
- I found this OLD Wright Screw Hoist just sitting on the ground at an abandoned farm. It looked AWESOME & was begging me to take it back to the shop, so I took a chance on it! It was all seized up, and I wasn't sure if it was broken or not, but figured I could bring it back to life either way!!!
A screw hoist is a type of chain fall, and is used to lift or lower heavy things vertically up or down as the need arises!
I'm glad I took the chance on this Wright Model 45, because it turned out to be a VERY nice hoist! It's rated to lift up to 2 Tons or 4000 lbs!
I'm excited to put it back to work here at Salvage Workshop! I've got plenty of heavy things that need moving, so expect to see it in MANY future videos as time goes on!
Watch as I fully disassemble it, completely clean it, give is a BEAUTIFUL paint job, put it back together, and then put it to the test on one of my new Anvils!
I really have NO idea how old it it, but now it's ready for another 100 years of work! (or however old it is)
I truly appreciate that you've taken the time to watch as I bring this Old Wright Screw Hoist back into usable condition here at Salvage Workshop!!

I'm commenting from the future and I must say, it's MUCH more enjoyable to hear your explanations of what you're doing!
One thing I’ve learned in my 60+ years on this planet is that you can always trust someone that are loved by animals and respect someone who is talented. You have my trust and respect. You are a craftsman mate. That “block and tackle” as we call it in Australia looks better than new. You have the same love for old tools as I do. Thanks for bringing that to us. 🇦🇺👍
I truly appreciate that my friend! I've never really considered myself a craftsman, but I appreciate the compliment! Lots more to come!
Why would you respect someone who is talented? Talent implies that a skill came to them easily. What's there to respect? Now if someone worked hard to acquire that skill, on the other hand...
@@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse You seem to be picking some kind of grammatical fight where there is none. *Shed Man* was simply complimenting him on his well placed application of said talent/abilities. Now kindly stop trying to be such a smartarse and read the room; or go piss on someone else's chips. 🤷♂️
I totally agree Shed Man he has taught himself a whole load of skills and he admits to that. I am a 74 year old Joiner and I respect his ability, enough said, 👍👍 Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴🏴🏴
That moment...
It's almost open, it's almost open, almost... it's opening, it's, it's, it's a giant gear! And just look at the size of that hook! Ladies and gentlemen! And the crowd goes wild (or, at least I did)!
Man, I love this stuff!
The best part of this video is it still works and very functional
Beautiful restoration. Suggestion... Build your gantry in your shop and have it extend eight feet outside of the shop doors. Then you can lift your ''projects'' out of the vehicle and into your work area without any strain. Really like what you do. More please.
Dismantling this and fixing it again is a great task, not easy to do this..good job brother
Another therapeutic restoration, I really enjoyed it. For those of us who enjoy fixing their own things these videos are so enjoyable.
Does it not blow your mind that this things were first made in possibly the 19th century and some parts haven’t been since then? The hours upon hours they were used as a major part of an industry that would be unrecognisable today. I know you always respect the history and craftsmen that used the tools you restore, it must be a real privilege at times.
Due to my disabilities I can’t lift anything heavy at all and can only do small projects. That doesn’t stop me enjoying watching what you do.
My late father used to say you can learn a lot about how a man treats his animals, you always make a point of giving attention to the quieter one at the back.
I'm a 20 yr. crane guy. Nice job. These 4 degree cut worm gear drives are amazing. Last forever if loved. Keep up the good work.
Your restorations belong in museums in my opinion. Something for future generations to draw upon when the time comes where they need to re-learn what we have forgotten through ignorance. Wonderful job and I agree that these old things have a beauty that can't be described, they must be seen working in their original states. Outstanding work!
And now you have a piece that could hang in any manufacturing museum in the country to use in your shop...amazing!! Another top job!!
Thank you Greg! I appreciate it!
My goodness that turned out marvelous.
i totally enjoy your videos. we are getting to a rare bread of people who restore instead of buy new. shade tree mechanics are a dieing bread. keep up the good work.
I love seeing things restored to new condition. What was old is now new again.
Wow absolutely fantastic restore job on the hoist 😁👍
That will last another 100 years now 😊👍
Very beautiful restoration, love it. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
Sir, you did a excellent job on this restoration, thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Also, great music selection for the re-assembly.
Sure nice to see how you take the time to take apart these good old tools, you clean them very well, put them back together, and to repaint them as well. Not to many of us of us modern pilgrims would have the patience you seem to have. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for bringing us along as you restore this well-made piece of history.
Now it's a useful shop tool once again, and a work of art that will likely outlive us all before its next, 'thoughtful restoration'.
👍
Sad to be reminded of how much manufacturing we lost to other countries. I really enjoy seeing these ordinary tools come back to life.
I totally agree G. Benson, it the same in the UK, the amount of factories, engineering workshops that have been sent abroad, Far East, India, China. Well know products are now imported back to us at well below the quality that we once made ourselves. eg, British Record ( tools of all types ) are now made abroad, and not a patch on the originals.

Good job,,,I did a couple of them.Cant beat the old good stuff.I loved working on this old stuff,cant beat the quality.
Wow, I was surprised that gear was solid brass, so many nice metals in and on there. I have to say that your colors are always spot on and how you mix metal with paint, beautiful, better than new. It is always so interesting seeing how well the projects were manufactured and can be restored to original or better. Again, perfect job Matt, thanks for all the hard work, much appreciated!!!

I have started to develop a workshop (small) but am restoring my dads tools which I allowed to get wet and rusty since he passed. I think he would appreciate what I am doing and I know I enjoy it. Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge.
That is awesome! There's NEVER a bad place to start! If you're having fun, just keep at it! Don't ever tell yourself you "can't" do, fix, or build anything, just give it a shot and go from there! Plus the internet is an amazing research tool these day!
to move heavy things I usually take a vertebrae or two and put them in a vice to pre-break them so I don't get injured during the actual lifting
😕
Lol... I'll have to give that a try!
😂😂😂😂
That was a fine restoration! Thanks for sharing it!
Great job. Always in amazement how you are able to keep track of all the parts and how everything goes back together
I was a body man for 40 + yrs. , loved doing this also. To save sometime get a sandblaster. Very nice restoration. :)
I can not tell you how much I enjoy your video's, I think they are great.
My favorite restore so far! Nicely Done!
Your videos are so freeking cool!!! SUPER great job!
Awesome attention to detail and determination.
York PA just down the road from Hershey. Tons of really great machinery came out of this area. Great job refinishing it! Should last you another100 years!
Beautiful old chain hoist, you did a great job. 👍👍👍
For small parts and chains, it is certainly better to use a rust remover, but it is rational to clean the case and large parts with electrolysis, this is not a complicated technology.
After rust removal, it is useful to treat with a phosphating compound to create a protective coating against corrosion.
This thing is a magnificent legacy of the industrial era. And you perfectly restored it. My respect.
Fantastic restoration !! Congratulations!
Awesome restoration. You've got a sharp looking hoist now. I also enjoy seeing your fun loving dogs. Thanks!
Wow, nice job. Absolutely Beautiful!
I was surprised to see no sand blasting! Surely that would aid some of the big jobs?
That's at least a century old. It's a beautiful example of what a mechanical hoist is really worth.
Very well done and looks awesome. The color is an attention getter for sure.
That is a thing of beauty! Before and after.
I thought the same thing when I found it!
Never realized a hoist had so many parts. As usual, a terrific job.
I think that about almost EVERY project! Thanks for watching & commenting! I truly appreciate it!
Hi Matt, absolutely great job !!, always a pleasure watching your work, I’ve done a few bits n bobs, not on your scale, but am in the process of organising my little workshop, thanks again and looking forward to the next project 👍🏻
It looks like you just saved it time. I love the color and that was remarkable.
Great job. Beautiful hoist.
A lot of effort put in to the Hoist, a job well done, great to see someone take time to do it right
Beautiful, an absolute GEM. Better than any electric !!! If you need to raise something 1/64th of an inch, no problem. plus this works 24-7. even when the power's out. Great job, great hoist.
I agree! Nicer to look at as well!
I lift heavy items with my small kubota with a loader bucket. If it's too heavy I call my neighbor the farmer who has a tractor that can lift my tractor. 😁🚜
Nice job on this project
Nice piece of work, beautiful.
I'm lucky that the property I purchased a decade ago came with a huge industrial workshop, enough space to operate a 5 ton forklift with extendable crane attachment, huge front and rear covered concrete lay down pads, and a 15 ton overhead remote control gantry that not only services the workshops internal dimensions but extends to service both external lay down pads. All I've added is dual service pits with LED lighting and air connections, and dual 15 ton industrial vehicle hoists. The biggest costs were the previous owners. A gantry in any workshop is a huge asset. 👍👍🇦🇺
Now THAT is what I'm talking about! I want a setup JUST like that! Someone put some real thought into that setup and what future needs might be! Thanks for commenting!!
That turned out GREAT!!!
Beautiful job, great looking hoist.
I use the bucket of my front loader to lift heavy things around my ranch. But I would love to find one of those to trolley above my work bench.
i love to see these old tools brought back to life
Amazing preservation and restoration ...Outstanding
That turned out awesome 👍.
Now it's something you are proud to have in your shop.
I move and lift heavy stuff using the forks with my bobcat.
Very nice restore. It'll be good for another 50 years. Great work.
those holiest never get old and great choice in colors!
I love your dogs. But i really love your work shop. It reminded of Alcoa Aluminum. Maintenance worksplace.i love the work that you do.feels like i could still smell the heavy greases. The degreaser just everything. Thank you.
Man, I just know that hoist never looked as pretty as it does now!
They didn't know how amazing they were actually designing things back then! All I did was properly showcase the amazing machine that was there all along!
I think it’s amazing the way you remember where all those parts go when you’re reassembling. Thanks again for posting your videos.
Great job. I really like the colors you chose.👍👍👍👍🤩
Good restoration, you did a really nice job.
Looks beautiful!
Looks like it's going to be a really useful tool around the shop. thanks
Excellent restoration!
Excellent restoration.
Awesome resto. That's gonna be very useful. Always good to see Tobi, Scout and the gang. Your videos wouldn't be the same without them 😊
Beautiful heavy tool,congratulations 👌👏👏👏
that turned out to be a nice hoist. well worth bringing home. i have a cm 2 ton chain hoist, and 2 cm chain come-a-longs, one with a 10' chain, and one with a 25' chain i use to lift and move things i can't do manually. plus i have a lift boom with a hand crank cable winch on my '54 massey harris 33 tractor.
Great job looks very nice !! I have a small homemade cherry picker type lift I have made to pickup and move heavy things in my shop . I also have a home made lift that goes in the receiver of my truck with a 2500 # atv winch and i have a receiver tube on my trailer it slides in to lift heavy items with onto the trailer it all works very well . Great job on the restoration wish I could watch your videos all day long !! 👍👍👍👍👍 Can't wait to see whats next !!
Beautiful, amazing job . Thank you. I love your channel
Some very nice blues Matt, Lovely work as always 👍
The swench really needs a Crocodile Dundee outfit.
I'd love to have a small gantry crane one day but for now its trolleys, dollies, rollers, engine crane and physics. or disassembly. A previous life as a furniture removalist helps a lot, grand piano's were always good fun.
Nice to see the hounds again.
🍺
Great looking restoration..tks for share
Awesome restoration. Kool dogs!
Great job and especially like the honky tonk piano
Beautiful work sir! have an exact match to that chain hoist. I guess I should stir my stumps and make mine new again. I haven't used it for decades. I pull engines with a cherry picker now.
That is a beautiful piece dude. Very Nice Job. Enjoyed this VERY much.
Exelent job, one of the best I ever seen.
Great job again...and that's ALOT of doggies!
Looking exceedingly good sir.
I like your work and your plan to get old stuff and make it better than new! I've gone through life without acquiring a nice shop it nice to see someone do something I never had the chance to do! I'm waiting for you next job later brocephus! 😎💨 good job!
It's a beautiful piece of engineering. Well restored and nice color choice !
Matt, great restoration. What a find and she looks better than new.
So intricate and beautiful a device can be.
She's definitely a looker!
This hoist is Beautiful 😍. Well done 👍
Another great vid - recently I started watching/re-watching every vid since the beginning. You have some great music in these, like this one as well as the one where the guy whistles (that tune is seriously stuck in my head - lol).
Lovely job 👌🏻
Outstanding!! The factory never made them looking that good.
Felicitaciones!!! La restauración quedó muy bien 🇵🇪
This is neat! I picked up a similar hoist from the local scrap yard awhile back. Missing a bit of chain and is locked up but .... I had and still have a similar idea about restoration of the piece. Alright, back to the video.
Very nicely done ☑️
You have beautiful dogs and you do beautiful work nicely done.
Very nice restoration! I could have used this a few rears ago with some of the heavy work i did.
That turned out really nice.
Loved work!congratulations
Beautifully done!
Fantastic work!
Great restoration
Well, I have hopefully swapped a cast iron roof light for a screw hoist (sight unseen) with a neighbour. We're building a hay loft in the Dutch barn and the hoist will provide the lift for the small square bales upto the loft floor. It will actually be a gift for my wife who is also our shepherd. Found out the hoist was available this afternoon and found your video this evening. I think it's called Serendipidy. Many thanks.
Awesome job it look great
Thanks for sharing
