    My hoist track and trolley setup

    I have power plug in right in the middle almost so if it hangs a bit it should reach both ends. I also heard of ppl using closet door tracks to attach the power cords to.

    My hoist track and trolley setup

    Thanks I was wondering about that. The trolley won't be in for another week. Hoping it makes the transition on the weld. I welded on the outside and kept it clamped straight. I hope anyways ;)

    My hoist track and trolley setup

    Mostly just stored items on/off the mezzanine, like a table saw, miter saw w/ stands and tires. Also for lifting the front or back end of quad and sxs. The load bearing of the struts for the 2 ft is over 1000lbs and the strength of the nuts are 1500lbs. My max lift of the electric hoist is 440lb.

    Modine or Mr. Heater?

    I went with MR Heater 50k BTU from Princes Auto. It was $200 off so I ended up paying $500 for it. A friend a work has the same heater and hasn't had any problems with it.
