Hi Guys -
Thanks for the ideas. A cart may be the easiest solution to my problem, and if I change my workflow direction from what I currently have it could work out just fine. I could hoist them on a portable winch, but my garage has a hip roof with scissor trusses running north-south and I need to move the timbers east-west. There is no header or support to attach a track or rail, and without a major engineering feat, it is probably easiest to roll them as opposed to my dream of flying them over everything. Several companies sell "inexpensive" gantry cranes, but with evrything else in my workspace there is no room to move it around. I will let you know how I come out. Jon
