Not much to report here - I just decided my mini shop crane needed some additional stiffening. Winch has about a 400 lb. capacity, so I figured the frame should be able to handle that much. I Might put a bolt in the middle. Don't know if that would make any difference.

Cool looking crane Tmate
I think a bolt in the middle would add a lot of stability.
 
+1 on the bolt or weld the 2 x braces together!

looks good!
