I'm obviously not writing clearly. I need to move machines INSIDE my
shop, under an 8 foot ceiling. The heavy ones are a Bridgeport mill and
a KO Lee surface grinder. I want to clone an engine hoist but with a
design modified to be more suitable to my application. For example, it
needn't be light weight to move from one site to another easily.

How about a pallet jack?
