What's A Gantry Worth?

I no longer have any use for this HD Gantry. It is a bit to heavy for me to use as an engine hoist and such, so I want to sell it.
When loaded, with those steel casters, its a real bitch to move with weight plus its own.
What would something like this be worth? As you can see it is constructed out of some serious Steel I-Beams, because the cross beam is detachable, changing the trolley and hoist for heavier duty applications is possible.
I don't want to gouge someone or have it sit for sale forever, nor should I have to give it way as any funds I get will help restore my daughter's truck.
In reality, I would trade it for a good engine hoist and an engine stand.

That's a big boy! What height is it? Looks to be around 11' tall or so.

Axel-Breaker-Earl Exactly, the inside beam dimensions are 10' 8" tall and 7.5' wide.

It moves fine, it's just to big and heavy when loaded to move around delicate mini trucks .. lol

If you can find them, change out the FLAT BOTTOM steel casters to a high strength polymer wheeled caster with a curvature to the wheel at the floor contact area. These will turn much easier when positioning the gantry. Same applies when looking for car dollies that go under the car tires (four of them of course) so 1 person can roll and position a 4000 lbs. vehicle by themselves.

Years ago I bought some of those cheap steel wheeled (flat bottom) caster car dollies like HF sells.......when I got them under the car, 2 guys couldn't move the car around! I regulated those 4 dollies to engine dollies only! I recently bought the HF Daytona car dollies and they work fine for lighter cars and trucks......I have them under the 1979 VW Bug currently, and they are perfect for that. If they would make some aluminum plate dollies (these are steel plate) they would be much better.......the steel ones weigh a ton!
