The way my garage is set up I need mine to go a cross the joists instead of inline with them. Max lift for me will be 500lbs. I have access to my attic I’m going to just drill tiny holes on each side of every joist so o know where center is. Then touch them up after. This is an awesome idea thanks for the video
Mine is running across the joists...I'm tied into 5 of them I think (its been awhile since I did this vide). I'm not sure what the capacity is, but I'm certainly not gonna put it to the test too much
I just received my hoist from amazon and I’m going to set mine up the same way with the unistrut and rollers. What size lag bolts did you use and did you pre drill the studs first before installing them? Thanks for the video
I did pre-drill. I don't remember what size lag bolts I used, but I would go with the longest you can use based on your ceiling joists. My joists aren't standard 2x lumber on edge, so my setup will be different
Love it. I have a low ceiling and I'm trying to figure out if this will work for me. I have like a 9ft ceiling. I want to pull furniture and things that are kind of tall off my 2500 bed. Do you know how low the unit will hang without your rollers? How much slack comes down before it engages? Thank you!
My garage ceiling is 9 or 10 feet. I haven't measured anything, but the track and roller are only a few inches...As for the "slack", I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. There is more than enough cable to reach the floor.
@@MoonBuiltGarage I've heard the whole apparatus hangs down about 10 inches or so. I'm going to drive my 2500 into the garage and off load some items that are a bit tall. Meaning I don't know how much travel I would have. It looks close. If my load is to close to the ceiling then my hoist wouldn't pull it up. that was my issue. Thank you!

Thank you for making the video and posting it, it's helpful.
Glad it was helpful!

I plan to do something like this to lift my Trailduster top into a loft storage area in my garage.
This setup should easily handle that

I have one of these but the lift speed is way too fast. I need to slow it down. Can I connect the power cord to a rheostat / PWM / dimmer?
Good question....give it a shot and let us know how it works
Make sure you don't exceed the power rating of the rheostat.
@@ebenezerwheezer2957 What the fuck are you on about? I never said anything about missing parts or China. I was talking about the lift speed.
@@FoScoJoSorry, I posted in the wrong area.
If I were to get 2 wireless hoists, will each hoist have its own wireless signal? Or will one remote end up controlling both units?
🤔🤔🤔No Clue🤔🤔🤔 I would LIKE to think they would be different.....
@@MoonBuiltGarage I would think so too.. but I wasnt sure.... thanks though for the reply! ANd nice video!

Statistically, guesswork is ALWAYS part of the calculation
