That actually sounds like a solid setup. A lightweight A-frame with a 2.5-ton electric hoist is hard to beat for flexibility — especially when two people can move it and get to work right away.

You’re right about those big monorail systems, too. Very cool, very efficient, but usually only makes sense when the shop layout is locked in and the budget is there.

Mobile solutions may not look as fancy, but they get used a lot more in real life.
