I installed the Harken hoist this weekend

Nice work! Two questions:Eye screws...ratchet straps...and piece of wood.
Less than $50
Thanks to #[Banned Site]
I had planned to build a simple pulley system but would have to over come some hurdles in the garage. So when a simpler way.
I used a 1x3 x 8ft (from Lowes). 2x4 would give a bit more room to screw the eye screw. Make sure to secure the top to the beam with zip ties or something so it won't get knock off (see video below).Nice work! Two questions:
Thank you for posting.
- What is the dimension of that lumber?
- When lowering, how do you get the wood out of the way?
cuss words...lots of cuss words, a little bit or prayer, muscles, and hope.....
Not really, I back into the garage and use the harbor freight hoist. I built a big H out of one inch square stock, lay it on the roof, hook up some straps,and lift it to the ceiling.
You didn’t use the 2x6 boards?I installed the Harken hoist this weekend
Nah, I just lagged them straight into my ceiling joists.You didn’t use the 2x6 boards?
I recommend power tools if possible. I assembled mine with hand wrenches and was pretty sore the next dayFor those who have the top lift pro how was the installation? I will start mine tomorrow
