Default Lathe chuck carrier?

I have had a recurrence of an old injury and am not into lifting the 10 inch
chuck on the Graziano for a while, so need to build a carrier to facilitate
regular changes to collet use.
I saw one long ago that attached to the machine and swung the chuck out of
the way but don't remember the details of construction. I see a few like
thishttp://www.homemetalshopclub.org/news/mar02/mar02.html but don't want
to fool with rope lifts.
Anyone know of any good photos, plans, etc online?

Enco had small hoist that fastened on or near the lathe bed at one
time. Check with them and the other online suppliers. Wasn't for
hoisting tons, but was meant for juggling large lathe tooling.
