awesome elevator brother. for your slides i would use nylon blocks with a bevel on the top and bottom and graphite spray or "slip plate" we use it on alignment machines for the turn plates the wheels sit on, its a spray that drys but its slick as snot if you coat both sides and it lasts a LOOOOONG while. hope that helps.
Yeah nice! I watched my Landlord move a Refrigerator up three flights of Stairs to a 3rd Floor Apt. and with my hip I was like no way I want to be doing that after retirement. But might want more than Stiltz had to offer.
I'd add a rolled-up rope ladder at the side for power failure or jamming so you can get down safely if your at home alone or a ladder mounted beside it that you can hop over to
Nice build...kinda a little on tthe 'Rube Goldberg' scale, perhaps it was the 'frantic & 'jittery' style of filming. It seems like the project was really solid in parts, but other details were.... You did say that you assembled this in 3 days, so the 'ad-hoc' character can be forgiven. A bit more engineering & this will be a nice job.
@ham549 thank you for the constructive criticism! What type of safety would you think would be the best? I have had suggestions to get a "yo-yo" before i put it into use. That is an industry trade name for an inertia activated fall protection safety device. Let me know how I can remedy this obvious safety hazard??
@@samsracing I don't know if you can find a "yo-yo" rated to that capacity. The best bet for broken cable system it's advised a spring loaded clamping system whereas the weight of the elevator pulling against the cable holds the mechanism open if the cable fails the spring puches the cpamps agenst the rails.... You might be able to use a lowee capicity "yo-yo" to pull clamps into the rail similar to how commercial elevators use a governor rope to trigger their safties.
It is an Accident waiting to happen... at least have 2 cables, if not 2 winches, its not like they are expensive! And keep it secret, as elevators are one if the most regulatedand inspected devices, even in the United Snakes there are authorities
@@samsracing thanks for clarifying. I was just ranting. to have 0.06 of an inch is weird in itself. (for metric users) 1mm 2mm 3mm, ...8mm. 1000mm (which is one meter) and so on. the metric can be easily added and subtracted. to add 3/16th to 0.06inch... for us a little nightmare. LOL
Unfortunately being in north America, metal suppliers use the inch system. I agree metric is much easier, but the materials here are what they are. Thanks for the comments!
All that would concern me is weather protection for your circuitry. But I'm glad to see people building such. 'Cause my day is comin'.
Love this field a lift

That's very good idea. I like that. I need it for my own things to moving out of the house soon.
That is awesome! So sweet!
Thanks Goozer Kane!
@@samsracing how did you go thru the permitting process nonsense?

Curious what the siding you used on the basket is. (the white siding)
This lift cast how many rupees 500 kgs 35 fits high
The lift cost aproximately $1000 USD. The most expensive part was the metal.
I have a 4 storey building. Would it be possible to build something like this?
can you install one for me?

weight capacity
If that discount winchs brake fails you will go crashing down. Don't even have a broken cable saftey installed. 😒

three eights, three sixteenth, sixty thousands, ninety thousands...wtf??
Thickness of the materials... 3/8", 3/16" 0.060", 0.090". Does this help?
