That's awesome Lee! Does it get caught up on those pesky springs? As I manually lug totes up and down each christmas, the springs on my unit seem to be the thing that catches me. Some of the tupperware is ~21" across! I may have to look into your idea as well Thanks for sharing.

However, there is a clearance of a full inch on both sides. IF I watch it, and I do, it is not a problem. I just have to control any tendency to swing or turn. That is not a major problem and not even a minor problem most of the time. Just technique.Hank Lee

Hoist is now on sale for $100:

Control cable is 5'? I think the manual shows it to be a 4 wire cable. I'd want to be about 15' so I could raise the load from the house.
Any thoughts on extending the cable?Comment

It is ideal for the attic but I can't see what else it could be used for without a longer or about 15 ft control.Hank Lee
