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

I cant see the video right now. But I secured a block and tackle to
my garage ceiling so I could hoist my lawn mower, snowblower, and
other crap onto a loft platform I built overhead. I can hook a cargo
bag to the rope or hook the mower itself. I get on a ladder, hoist te
item to the ceiling, then push the item onto the loft shelf. Loft
shelf is itself suspended from the ceiling joists.
