That is an incredibly tall specification order you are trying to fill
there. You want 150 lb. components that one person can put together in
an hour? And that can hoist 30 tons?

Or a block and tackle type device that attaches to the box top.

The biggest hoist I've built weighs about 150# total, 4x 35#, and
lifts 6k#. And it takes an hour to set up.
