Went and had a look at some hoists at 'super hoist plus ' in Moss vale, and they do a 3 tonne 2 poster called a Torin, $1850. http://www.ebay.com/itm/270836097497...ht_1410wt_1165
A couple of local mechanics are using them and are quite happy with them, and despite bein Chinese the build quality seems pretty decent too. so I guess I'm might hafta splash out for Christmas. Will be just fine for a home butcher like me.....
