Nice job! That's actually one of the best systems on here....using garage door track and so it's very stable along with how it doesn't have all of those spider webs of cables that other people are using with numerous pulleys just to lift a platform straight up along the wall. The only thing I can recommend is to get rid of that Harbor Freight made-in-china junk! I understand what a tight budget is as we're on social security disability and so have to account for every penny we spend, but we can't count the number of times harbor freight's products turned out to be junk right out of the box or shortly thereafter, and that's even concerning them coming in their factory-sealed retail box. Aside from the many power tools that we have purchased from harbor freight that burned up within a very short period whereby not exceeding how the manufacture said the tools are to be used, the first electric winch from them didn't even work and so took it back for a replacement and the second one worked for several weeks before starting to smoke even when being well under the winch's weight lifting capacity. but yeah, it's true that some people never had any problems with their harbor freight winch however when see all of the documentation on how poor china's quality control is on their products, us having verified it for ourselves with numerous products, and this lift system is lifting things up into the air, it's then better safe than sorry and so well worth spending just a little more money on a winch that is much less likely to have any problems with quality made parts and other poor production techniques

Hi Lou, nice build, I am looking around for ideas to borrow for my own freight lift, carrying gear up a ladder is just not worth the effort and potential injury!, thanks for explaining everything and showing enough detail, also pleased you didn't do any speeded up motion or use a music track, just basic information well presented, nice job😊

Great job. Just one suggestion is to build a guard rail with a gate in the attic around the lift shaft for safety purposes.

I’m definitely going to copy the garage rail idea...excellent job! Wondering if there is any reason some people mount the hoist low and pulleys high, while others, like yourself, do the opposite. Is there any advantage of doing it one way over the other?

I built something similar for my dog with unistrut tracks and trolleys. I saw the 300 pound hoists all over but searched a 1500 pound hoist and found it. Looks identical to yours but 1500lb. Amazon dropped it off the next morning. Mine is 750-1500lbs. I wonder what makes the difference? Cable size? HP?

The 1500 lb hoist was 170$
