I used to hoist lots of heavy stuff up to the upper floor of a barn with
the traditional chain hoist. What I liked about it was that it rolled
along a big chunk of I beam. So you could lift a heavy load, roll it into
the barn, then lower it to the floor.

I did that once on a work truck. Built a mongo truck rack, with small I
beam on it. Had a Dayton 12v. winch on it. Lifted a small portable welding
machine in and out. It worked really slick.

On this, though, I just want to go straight up and down.
