Snowmobile storage rack plans

[mtlworx]

I'm looking to build this 4 corner vertical lift for myself, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to run the cable and pulleys. I've searched the internet for plans, any chance any of you know of some for sale, or have some input on how to make this happen? Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

There was a build thread a few years ago here on this forum for a rack like that:

My only concern is that once you get it up would be that you do not depend on the cable to keep it up.
Get some kind of HD stops for the support rack.

Take a look at illustration 10 in the 7,000 pound lift drawings and diagrams on the Backyard Buddy website. That will show you their cable routing from the ram to the top of the post.

Just figure out the storage height and drill 2 holes in all for corners and put a stop in it and let off the tension.

I just use 48" width pallet racking to store them on
