I love the simplicity and the mostly-wood design. Thank you for sharing!

Great video, necessity is the mother of all inventions,well done....

I like the wheels and the simplicity of the side guards which keep it on the track.

I plan on making one of these but instead of mortising out the 2x4’s for the tubing I would weld a piece of flat steel maybe 3” x 6” on both ends of the tubing. Then bolt the flat steel to the 2x4. Same thing for the top pulley tubing. I might run a rod through the lower tubing and put some wheels on it. I noticed a Menards plastic bag in the video and they are a dealer for the Champion winch. Not sure if that’s where you got it from. Thanks for the video.

With such a high frame, you could place it on the gable side and hoist all the way to the ridge to stack your packs there, rather than carrying each pack up the roof.

super

this might be good for solar panels too

I would personally work on that paint job first!!

Seems pretty heavy. Are you able to put it up and take it down by yourself (without worrying that you will lose control)?

can you provide a small drawing to show how to construct this? Thanks!

very nice! I plan something very similar only i am a bit worried about rain. It would be nice to leave this setup for a few weeks or even months, and that standard winch you are using has to go indoors whenever it rains right?

That's correct. That electric hoist is rated for indoor use only. If you use a 12V or other outdoor winch, just consider that the rated capacity of winches is for horizontal load, and not vertical load, as hoists are rated.

I keep lots of wooden dunnage outdoors for years by slathering it with used motor oil which it promptly soaks up. You can make your winch quick disconnect which lets you use it for more than the lift.
