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

#Restoration #HeavyLifting #ScrewHoist
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 gave up fixing things. I can live through your videos.
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!
I'm commenting from the future and I must say, it's MUCH more enjoyable to hear your explanations of what you're doing!
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.
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, 🏴🏴🏴
The best part of this video is it still works and very functional
That was a fine restoration! Thanks for sharing it!
Wow, nice job. Absolutely Beautiful!
My favorite restore so far! Nicely Done!
Great job. Always in amazement how you are able to keep track of all the parts and how everything goes back together
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 👍🏻
Beautiful old chain hoist, you did a great job. 👍👍👍
Very beautiful restoration, love it. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
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 can not tell you how much I enjoy your video's, I think they are great.
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.
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!!! Nena
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'. 👍
i love to see these old tools brought back to life
It looks like you just saved it time. I love the color and that was remarkable.
Amazing preservation and restoration ...Outstanding
Fantastic work!
Beautifully done!
Exelent job, one of the best I ever seen.
Another therapeutic restoration, I really enjoyed it. For those of us who enjoy fixing their own things these videos are so enjoyable.
A lot of effort put in to the Hoist, a job well done, great to see someone take time to do it right
Awesome restoration. You've got a sharp looking hoist now. I also enjoy seeing your fun loving dogs. Thanks!
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.
Good restoration, you did a really nice job.
those holiest never get old and great choice in colors!
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!
This hoist is Beautiful 😍. Well done 👍
Beautiful work!
Always an ancient device, remold then keep older one for looks unused,cast iron. Cast part, sand prints, john.
My goodness that turned out marvelous.
Very nice restoration! I could have used this a few rears ago with some of the heavy work i did.
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 seeing things restored to new condition. What was old is now new again.
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.
Awesome job, looking good.
Dismantling this and fixing it again is a great task, not easy to do this..good job brother
I was surprised to see no sand blasting! Surely that would aid some of the big jobs?
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!
😂😂😂😂
Beautiful heavy tool,congratulations 👌👏👏👏
It's a beautiful piece of engineering. Well restored and nice color choice !
Awesome job it look great Thanks for sharing
Fantastic restoration !! Congratulations!
Awesome attention to detail and determination.
Nice piece of work, beautiful.
Looked awesome! 👍🏻
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. 🍺
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!
That is a thing of beauty! Before and after.
I thought the same thing when I found it!
Looks like it's going to be a really useful tool around the shop. thanks
Great job, amazing hoist
Very nice restore. It'll be good for another 50 years. Great work.
Great job. Beautiful hoist.
I was a body man for 40 + yrs. , loved doing this also. To save sometime get a sandblaster. Very nice 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.

Beautiful, amazing job . Thank you. I love your channel
Looks beautiful!
Matt, great restoration. What a find and she looks better than new.
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 😊
That is a beautiful piece dude. Very Nice Job. Enjoyed this VERY much.
Well since I found your channel and saw all the heavy stuff you lifted wondered why you didn’t have a gantry now I see you have the materials and it looks great looking forward to the gantry build unless you’ve already done it I have to say I love this channel and the way you bring old stuff back to life thanks for sharing
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
Bloody Fantastic Job 💙
Excellent restoration!
Outstanding!! The factory never made them looking that good.
That's awesome keep up the amazing work
Loved work!congratulations
That turned out GREAT!!!
Really nice restoration - that is the nicest looking screw hoist I've ever seen! Truth be told it's the only screw hoist I've ever seen, but still I think it looks amazing!
Loved this!
Excellent restoration.
That's kickass bro. Love the color too. Wish I had a spot for one of those
Wow absolutely fantastic restore job on the hoist 😁👍
Great work as always!😎
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 !!
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.
Lovely job 👌🏻
That is a NICE Old Big Chain Hoist
Great job. I really like the colors you chose.👍👍👍👍🤩
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!
Your videos are so freeking cool!!! SUPER great job!
Great work!
Great job !
Like so many others here, I admire this young man and others like him who restore old tools, tractors, implements, etc. I am always curious how these people make a living outside of their passion for restoration. Do they make enough money by selling these restored items? Do they own another kind of business? Where do they get their income from?
Looking exceedingly good sir.
Great restoration
I used one of these old types once. It snapped lifting a compressor up onto the second floor, metal fatigue. Great job on the restoration very enjoyable. I would have it tested for your safety though. Tony
So intricate and beautiful a device can be.
She's definitely a looker!
Dude, OMG. You ROCK!
Very nicely done ☑️
A real nice job on the restoration of this chain hoist. Look forward for more restomodes to come from you Sir.
Thank you my friend! Lots more to come! You could also go check out some of my older videos, if you liked this one, you'll like those as well!
@@SalvageWorkshop Will do just that, SW
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.
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!
Great work
Nice job sir 👍👍
