Bud, run a steel 3/16" cable between the floor joists. Turnbuckle on the far end to get it nice and tight. Before you hang the cable cut 15 links of chain from 30 links of chain ( need individual links). Run the cable thru the chain links. Now loop your extension cord and zip tie the top of each loop to a chain link similar to a shower curtain. Your cord will slide back and forth with the winch whilst staying out of the way and out of the dirt. Works like a champ for me.

I have this hoist sitting on my work bench unopened. I have a truss roof system in my shop and was going to go all the way to the top where the rafters touch to get the most strength. Attaching 3/4" plywood strips about 10" x 8' catching the rafters in two places and two of the angled 2 xs below them. I am thinking of doing this on 2 trusses and running an 1 1/2" or 2" whatever the brackets on the motor will take and spanning two trusses. I didn't really want to crawl around up in there but I know it will burn up the motor before the trusses fail set up like that. After seeing what you did I like having it on a track and at my 10' flat ceiling height. That metal rack screwed in like that and then maybe a few pieces of 1" strap welded to it and catching the trusses all the way to the top should distrubute the weight and be strong enough. I just don't want to get killed and I was taught to never count on fasteners in wood to hold a load and always use a post under a joist to transfer the weight down! I had a friend that didnt believe me so I supported a 4x4 across a half inch bolt and hit it with a sledge hammer and it split like a log!

Put a removable stop at each end to prevent the "trolley" from rolling off. Also, add cross bracing to the joists. This will improve the deck performance and limit twisting of the hoist used with the winch. Keep a maintenance schedule for those trolley bearings. I have seen them fail. A better track mounting method would be to use brackets with bolts that pass through joists.

Good idea. I use my tractor to lift my mowers that don’t have jack points on them but once I get my shop built I definitely want a large hoist in it. I’d love to build a crane way in it but that will be some coin and a car hoist is a higher priority. If only everything didn’t cost a boat load of cash…lol

Hey Mr. Handy, thanks for the great idea. Actually I'm steeling your engerering and have purchased the track and screws from home depot today. However, before installing I placed the trolly in the track including the deck screw and noticed some friction with the head of the screw. Actually not only did it rub the center, it seems to be rubbing between the wheels of the trolly. Did you encounter this issue? Or even better do you remember the maker of the screw. I know I can modify screw , but if I can find a more proper screw would save me A LOT OF TIME since I'm planning on 20 feet. One more question about how many did you put for the total of 10 feet?
@HandyGuy2016

Excellent! I don't remember the manufacturer of the screw, but it did touch also. I just filed a little bit off and good to go. I put a screw in about every 8 inches, which is probably overkill but it works.
