Lifting glulam beam without crane during roof lift

[pbengtsson]

Attaching some pictures showing how to raise a 400kg glulam beam without a crane, 7m up onto steel columns.
The columns must be firmly anchored in the foundation.
Then the columns are hoisted into place.
Mount a jig on top so the beam can be hoisted up.
Then, just drive the beam forward and place it.
Done...
Good luck!

Looked exciting
I used a crane truck myself as it wasn't possible to do it any other way....

Looks good... but I don't understand the point of it. A crane truck would do it quickly and safely, and all the hours they've spent setting everything up could have been spent on the actual construction instead.

It took 3 hours, a crane truck unfortunately couldn't reach. Then it took some time to weld the jigs, also spent time painting them, not sure what we were thinking there, maybe we'll put them on Blocket now that there are instructions on how they should be used.
