I need something like this for my office and storage on the 4th
floor, but needs to handle more than 200 lbs.


The weak link is the 200-pound test nylon rope. Replace that with 1/4" cable
and it should be good for 1,000 pounds. Harbor Freight even has a remote
control winch so you don't have to climb up the ladder first.
