5:32 Somebody deserves big sister of the year for caring enough to quickly guard her little sis from falling.

Great video, I would use a lag bolt for the stopper. I feel like that screw could shear pretty easily.

[dyardsale]

You lifting yourself up and gliding on ceiling rail gave me a good idea.

[Jerry-kopi]

That bolt is the anti-theft devise. I used a Unistrut to support our(my wife's) boxing bag in our garage. I first screwed a 2x4 to the ceiling, then the strut. I slide it to one side when not in use. I am also thinking about using same system for a target system for my indoor firing range in our new house once it's built. One problem I see, is that when you are picking up a heavy load, it might want to "PUSH" your garage door closed. It looks like your garage is long enough to open the door all the way and just pick it straight up from what ever it was in, just move it closer to table.

Izzy Swan built his a few weeks ago as well.They are very cool, I think I’m going to build one too.

[benweatherstaff]

thank you so much. this is the perfect solution for my shop

[musketteer]

the ones I Bought for my company have 4 wires inside I Cut the cable in half and added 4 pin xlr male and female connectors so I could add any length cable I want to extend the cable for our High warehouse ceilings Got mine at Harbor freight

Love the project, looking at one of these winches over a chain fall for my gantry crane to save on headroom and no cHains in the way.

[HuntsWorkshop]

You did an amazing job this! The trolly and unistrut detail is perfect!

[Sigmadog]

I bet you got the idea and/or plans for that table saw folding out feed table from woodsmith issue 47, 1986 😊

[paula]

This would be great for moving paraplegic people around the house. Most hoist sold for this purpose are very very very unaforable. This would be a game changer for so many families. I wish there was not so much burocracy and safety concerns and patents preventing this from that use.

Looks great! I might need something like this in the future lol. Maybe one of those retractable cord holders might work?

[calebparkermusic]

I'm looking at doing this with 10ft 12g strut and I'm curious about your approach with the fender washers and wood screws. How many did you use to be sure it could support those heavier loads? I can't seem to find anything online about how much weight a fender washer could bear. TIA!

[colleens]

I can't stop laughing!!! So cool! Peter pan!

[chippysteve]

Oh dear.
Ever heard of a 2wheeled trolley? Sometimes called a Diablo in Europe.
You can make one using 2 old car wheels and some cheap steel scaffold tubing.
You can easily move around 24foot 1000lb beams by yourself and turn them around on the spot and they work outside as well :-)

[mikemulligancopilotdesigns]

hahaha man I laughed so hard at your intro! made me think of buster on arrested development, also great video and info!

[robertpendzick]

Wonder how is it holding up after a year? Are the wood screws still holding the track? Should you have used a hoist instead of a winch? (there is a difference!)
Have been wanting to install something along this line to lift groceries and lower suitcases down stairs in our condo.

[freasy]

OSHA requires that lift not be used for personnel.... Have Fun

[plugger]

I know you keep saying it’s best to use the brackets, have you had issues with the screw heads making contact? Those brackets are so expensive. Have the wood screws held up with hoisting heavy loads? Thanks!

The first thing that came to mind was the SNL skit with John Lovitz where he purposefully answers trivia questions wrong so he can get wedgies.
