We will be having an Inova 600 with an shielded Oxford magnet
installed shortly. I am wondering what people have been using
to lift this type of magnet for assembly? For our other magnets (300 NB,
500 NB, 360 WB), we have used the typical "engine hoist" type of shop crane,
but the 600 AS is much too heavy (2600 lb) for this. None of the local rental
places seem to have anything suitable. McMaster Carr sells gantry cranes that
would be suitable, but are a bit expensive for a one-time usage.
Thanks in advance!
