electric hoist question
I want to make an elevator of sorts for our newly acquired cabin. This is
because moving any appliances in and out is a bear the way the stairs, railings, walkways, etc. are located. I want to make a section of handrail removable, and make a hoist maybe 48" square for lifting items like fridge, furniture, and wheelchair bound people up to the level of the porch, a distance of about 8 feet. Total weight I would guess at 1,000# max, and that is figuring at the most, a fridge and two people. Platform would be about 250#. So, I would put in a 2,000# capacity hoist. Any suggestions of brand names? I imagine it would be used maybe 25 times a year. Steve |
