- I'M SO HAPPY!!!! This video is for anyone who has heavy objects to lift. I installed this hoist in my garage from Harbor Freight to solve for having to lift a 200lb ePropulsion lithium battery in and out of my boat. This install was allot easier than I anticipated and didn't take long at all. In this video you will see how I created one of the strongest mounts I ever have to support the hoist and the load it will be lifting. In the end I will demo lifting my ePropulsion E-175 200lb lithium battery out of my boat. This is a simple, easy and very affordable solution that will make a word of difference. Thanks for watching.

I hope this guy is teaching young people somewhere.....he has a real talent for instruction.
You're the Man: work smarter not harder. Much cheaper than replacing any equipment, but more so your back!
Yessirr👍🏾🤙🏾
Thank you for this video! I will be getting one of these in the near future. Been thinking about how to do this and you gave me some very good ideas. Love your channel!
Thanks. 👍🏾👊🏾
Well Done!! Thanks for the concise and clear execution on not just the solo DIY job, but the well executed video. Thank you!
Great video! Very helpful. I'll be installing my Harber Freight lift in the same manner as you. Thanks for the help!!
Thanks for the vid, you inspired me to do the same in my workshop. And the price of the hoist is definitely cheaper than the price of a new back!
Great job! Thanks for showing all the steps very clearly
Good info on the installation. Thank you my man! 🤙
Great job and a lot of great ideas. Thank you.
Should have taken the top board across more than 2 trusses to share the load instead of all weight on 2 trusses, and would have used a 4x4 instead of 2x4 on top. If you did this and used bolts long enough to go through both 4x4s you wouldn't have needed the hangers either and the whole thing would have been much stronger. But if 200lbs is all you will ever lift you are ok.
Love this, thank you for your simple install demo!!!
Yessirr
Super smart to put that top member over. Impressed !😮
Good job !! Glad you recognized the need for a hoist before you hurt your back. I need nerve block shots regularly because I continued in "HE MAN MODE " for a little to long . God Bless you Sir ! Stay safe !!
I totally understand. I He Manned it a couple times and knew one day I would either drop it or break my back. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent job ! I need a hoist to remove or install my kicker outboard. You have given me new ideas on installing hoist.
Excellent. I only wish I did this sooner!!!
Cool video. I’m looking at something like this in my shop. I appreciate your video.
very easy to follow, what i needed
Great work. Will be adding a hoist soon. Thx
Great DIY video of the Hoist. I believe the Hoist motor will give out before anything you installed. You went above and beyond in making sure that Hoist will lift your battery. Awesome!!! Thanks. Now I am looking forward for the Jon Boat review, plus the Bass should be moving up and the bite should be getting better and better. Thank you BBFDMV for all your content. Tight Lines!!!
Yessirrr
thank you. you are an excellent instructor. thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Really appreciate all the details. My hoist arrived from Amazon today so I will tackle the install tomrrow after a watch your video again. God Bless!
Thanks for watching!!! Good luck with your install
Well thought out and very well done.
Awesome job! Work smarter not harder. Good job!
Thanks! I'm converting my deer skinning hoist from a crank to a electric lift. Was unsure how to mount to the 4 x 4. Those struts from home depot will work perfect!
Nice job, well done!
Great video ...and that machine is nice and quiet. A lot of pulling machines sound like a gearbox filled with sand. I could actually imagine using this hoist.
Great video. Really appreciate the double and triple redundancy. Nothing like playing it safe. I'm planning on hoisting building materials, and it looks like this machine will do the job.
Awesome. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Sweet! that is pretty awesome! you took the time to make sure everything was well done, I really like your method.
Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks. I just did this after watching your video several times. I am using it to pull my 5th wheel hitch out of my truck (and putting it back in).
Awesome. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great video! Well explained... keep up the great job!
Thanks 🤙🏾👍🏾
Great video! I swear if there's a natural disastor like an earthquake or something, the ONLY thing left standing will be your hoist set up LOL
Cool video dude and good step by step
Great idea!
Very well done sir! Thank you for sharing. Throughly enjoyed the video and I now know how I’m going to put my hoist up. I also subscribed for more!
Thanks. Welcome to the channel.
Great video. I love your description as you go along installs the hoist. And the way you solved your problem.
The are two things I would do differently. I would have used different joist hangers, the ones that have tabs that also sit on top of the ceiling rafter. And the other thing would be to use the Simpson StrongTie screws made for use with joist hangers.
Thanks for the video. It was a help. I will be installing my hoist in a barn when my turn come up next spring.
Nice job all around, Tks
I think you did a damned good job. About to set this up as a big game hoist. The hand crank has run its course.
Nice video, working on a small Crain myself.
Awesome job and video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks.
Good job !!
Another clean install! That hoist will keep you from wrenching your back!
Yepp 👍🏾👊🏾
Thoughtful and clean execution. I would have gone w/ nails for those hangers and 4x4 (shear force) but great job on not breaking your back! I don't have attic access to my joist (living space above) but I need to mount a hoist for maintenance of new mower (1,480Lbs)
Agreed, that's as secure as can be, well done. I just got one myself, problem is it's being used in an old French farmhouse I'm renovating with only tree trunk purlins to secure it to - there are no straight lines in this house! Not sure how I'm going to do it, hence looked at your vid.
Great job.
I like how you built it 😊
So much info here for other purposes-just seeing the inside of the attic😅 was useful. The basket straps especially useful for my project.
Nice work
Good job!
Well Done my friend.
Really great video nice job.
Thanks 👍🏾🤙🏾
One of those things where a relatively small price for the winch will pay for itself compared to your back or batteries. Great project!
You're so right about that. Tjanks for watching.
Great build with just the right amount of detail. I really appreciate your description. I recommend rigging some type of board with eyebolts at each corner that you slid the battery onto for hoisting. It might make it more self-leveling.
Thanks.
Well done
Good job.
Nice job!
👊🏾👍🏾
Really helpful thanks
👍🏾
Instead of using brackets between the joists, I would cut the 4x4s longer and span the joists by laying the 4x4s on top.
Thanks!!!
GREAT video ! very clean work area, very detailed, you can work on my house anytime
Looks great,the only thing that look a bit dangerous was the "basket" kinda look like the batter could slide out.i just got the same hoist,we are gonna set it up to lift and store my jeep hardtop
NICE!!
Thanks.
Good job
Thanks. 👍🏾👊🏾
Glad i found your video…looks great. Thanks for the tips.
DMV? kayaker fishermen in stafford va. You ready for the fishing season!! Lol
Yes Sirrr. Can't wait
Good, strong support. Great instructions. Thanks.
Very nice , great job . I need something like that to get me out of bed some mornings . LOL
Lol me too 🤣🤣🤣
Funny you said that, I’m looking to install this in my bathroom ceiling to lift my 93 year old mom who is non ambulatory and my bathroom is narrow. I’ll post once I get it going. I wasn’t sure whether to use the unistrut or if I should do a hand trolly with I beam. Any suggestions? Need it to slide easy
I like that it’s a quiet machine. Most are loud as hell lol
Bro finally working on my boat purchase hope to see ya out there
Yessirr
This is exactly what I need, GREAT VIDEO !!! What kind of battery is that ???
It's a 48 volt Lithium battery.
Hey good job my friend. Better to overbuild than under build. Ok is there anything you would have done differently now that this is completed
I Would have made the 4x4 that you used longer and rested it on top of the trusses in the attic. Then toenailed or screwed to those trusses. That would have eliminated the need for the 2x4 that you used on top and the joist hangers. Longer threaded bolts would have been needed though.
Awesome video!!! ? For ya I made my setup I plugged in mine for the first time and it does not go up or down is there some trick to get it working?
Have you thought about using the strut specific trolleys for moving it back-and-forth rather than just scraping metal on metal?
Been a year now so what's the Verdict on the install holding up well as far your concerned . How's the hoist holding up as well.
Great job. The only thing is the screws used for the joist hangers. They are not code, but I think you're good to go for the weight you're lifting.
Ok thanks. Good to know.
Your back is worth way more than that hoist. Good decision and great job. I see no reason for this to fail for what you're doing.
Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Time/age catches up sooner or later good just bought one today to lift the front of my lawnmower up for maintenance under under underneath
Age has already affected my ability to wright comments.
Very true.
Very good investment.
Thanks.
Your time, energy and effort $$$$ big BUCKS… let’s go Fishing!
👍🏾🤙🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Great idea. I'll use this for a kayak hanging project. Did you use 12 or 14 gauge on that unistrut? Home Depot link points out to 12 but the video shows like 14 (the thinner one).
I believe it's the 12 gauge one.
Love your video. I've watched it 5 times and I'm a subscriber. I do have a question. How far down from the ceiling will the hoist hang? I have a low ceiling in the garage and I'm pulling things off my 2500 which is kind of high. I only need to pull large things off my 2500 a few inches and then pull the truck out. I just need to know I can install this and that it will not hang down so low that the hoist is useless... You get me? Thank you!
Hey. Appreciate your feedback and Sub. The lowest part of the hoist (the safety shut off bar) is about 9-1/2" from the ceiling. The only thing hanging lower than that is the hook, but that can be tethered up if you need to.
@@BassBrothersFishingDMV Thank you for the info very helpful, just like the video. Love the boat too. You've got this going on!
Excellent video...What kind of saw did you use to cut the metal strut ?
It's a reciprocating saw.
You can buy a 2 ft piece of unistrut at home depot
Your black safety stop is on the wrong side of the pulley wheel. It should be above the pulley wheel and below the stop lever bar. It will stop the motor from winding up too much line. Other than that Great Job!
I realized that and moved it. The safety stop works like a charm. Thanks for looking out though. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I would suggest that you check with the truss designer regarding hanging the Crain rail (unistrut) from the bottom chord of the trusses as typically the bottom is designed to carry the dead load weight of gypsum board ceiling.
Lol, not if he has common sense. Step on one beam where 4x4 is attached, if it holds you, it will hold rated capacity of that motor. Lol engeneer reference is ....wow....
Also trusses cros beams designed to carry shit load of distributed snow load... 400lb ain't nothing
Nice work and do save your back its the only one you have.
You are so right. Back injuries are the worst.
There is no attic above my garage. Anyone mount theirs through their ceiling into the raftors?
I would have placed the 4x4 on top of the truss instead of beside it
How long is the remote cord, my shop has 12ft ceiling
I believe it's around 6 feet long.
There’s a video that shows how to lengthen the cord … I’m going to have to follow it as my shop has 14’ ceilings too.
Does it go back and forth👉👈 ? As well as up and 👇👆?
Yes. I can move it back and forth. Just make sure you gap the beem out to create the space you need to do so. In this install means adding the right number of washers to create the right gap.
@@BassBrothersFishingDMV I. Want to figure it a way of taking heavy boxes out of my basement without
Walking up and down stairs and my arms.
Save you back.
Must be a lead deep cycle batt
Go LiPo
You could have just put the 4x4 across the top of the joist. Structurally that would be totally sufficient for any weight you would put on it.
You're prob right. Couldn't take any chances with how expensive the battery is that I'm lifting.
That will save you many times over by saving you a back injury that can end up costing you ten of thousands in medical bills and a lifetime of pain... (sadly been there).
So true.
Too bad he screwed up calling ceiling joists wall studs.
Mike y ee….your a idiot!
Actually those weren’t ceiling joists, they were the bottom chords on the truss.
Music spoiled my interest in video I was pissed off so i switched off
Fool there were no studs in that attic you fixed into the Bottom cord or Ti beam
I shivered too
Please explain.
