- I made a hinged wooden stair case to get in to the loft of my new barn and am in need of a 110vac winch to hoist it up out of the way so I can drive through to the other half of my barn. I originally

- My luck with cheap winches is similar, so I can't offer any help there, but I'd be a bit worried about the safety aspect, particularly with just any cheap winch (and the cheap cable that comes with i

- I think you'll find the things intended for lifting straight up are referred to as "hoists". That does not mean the manufacturer's legal dept considers them safe for hanging heavy things over your he

- A common alternative around here for dry boathouses is a 12V winch with a car battery and a float charger. You can get a lot more torque out of them, and as long as you don't raise and lower it 20 ti

- Exactly what I use at the hangar to pull the Stearman back in. 12V winches are much cheaper than 120V ones and an old battery on a BatteryMinder seems to last forever in this use. My comments on the

- I was WRONG about HF calling them all winches. Just went through a current HF catalog and sure enough they have hoists and winches. The hoists obviously look like they're intended to be mounted to li

- I don't know where you are on this, but I just ran across a T1500 superwinch at etrailers.com, in the "bargain bin". Check out: http://www.etrailer.com/pc-BB~1215200.htm. This is a 12V winch, so you'

- OK, more winch stuff. My father-in-law has a boat that he lifts out of the water after each use with a homemade lift. The winch he built it with has died, and he is now replacing it. He purchased a c
