I picked up a 880lb. capacity hoist at Harbor Freight for $70.00,cheap I think.

I welded up a bracket and mounted it in the rafters of my single car garage.

The bracket is made from 1/4" plate and the square tubing is 1.5" square with 1/4" wall thickness.I made cuts in the plate and fed the square tubing through it then welded it all up.

Made some cables from 5/32" aircraft wire cable then raised her to the roof.

Works great and is REAL easy on my back! :grin:
