No, more like this, minus the gambrel game hook: https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/ropes-chains-hoists/pulleys-links-slings/gambrel-and-pulley-hoist-99758.html HF no longer sells what I use but you can find many similar cheap pulley hoist kits online, Amazon, etc. I do use one of...

I’ve gotten a good sized wheelbarrow up out of the way using a cheapie rope pulley hoist system picked up from Harbor Freight decades ago. The rope from the block attaches to the wheelbarrow at the horizontal cross member in front of the wheel. She pulls up along on the front wall of the...

I had a Craftsman box tip on me years ago when I forgot to fully ratchet down the straps on my trailer prior to moving it. The bottom corner of a few drawers got wrinkled and slides were bent. I bumped out the sheet metal on the drawer faces and placed a quick call to Waterloo customer...

I originally tried to float my HD-9ST lift when it was first installed 15ish years ago but I spend a lot of time working on the upper car (many times too lazy to move the lower car out of the garage to bring the lift down) and the sway was too much for my comfort climbing up and down off lift...

I am not going to claim professional knowledge in this subject but many of us have used self-tapping/self-drilling screws to mount items onto metal studs inside our car trailers. Using large enough screws and distributing the load can hold a surprisingly large amount of weight (that is...

I ordered a BendPak HD-9ST from ASE last fall. I was a very smooth transaction and great price to boot. Would buy from them again if I had to do it all over again.

I might have some experience that you are looking for. We are currently under construction adding on to our existing 80 year old 21x24 garage with an addition that will accept a lift. The addition will have an exterior 15'3" roof peak but with an interior height of 11' to allow the lift. Here...

Just a tiny bit off topic, but does anyone have any good links to info to help decide T12 vs T8 lighting for garages? I need to begin light design for a 14x21 garage with 4 post lift. Small spaces with one big object in the center create for a bit of a lighting challenge.

Count me in as definitely interested in a lift group buy. I should be picking up a 4 post storage-service lift in the next month or two, pending no construction delays. I have been looking at several ALI certified lift options and Revolution is toward the top of that list. Aahz, how long...
