Concept drawing. It'll probably change, but this is a side view of the
starting point. Not shown: hand winch, block and tackle hoist. Shown
in 'down' position.

Keep in mind that with this style lift that the front arm/wheels on the
floor will need to be wider than the pallet "or" you will need to build your
own pallets. Most pallets have a bottom that would prevent lifting if the
front wheels go under also.
You will probably build your own pallets and you can leave the bottoms off
but if you receive freight on a regular pallet you will probably not be able
to fully off load and set the pallet on the floor.
