[Doug Armstrong]

You may want to start with an $ 80.00? HarborFreight electric hoist.

I'm interested in something, too.  I teach high school shop and we have a 
sort of mezzanine/attic over the classroom.  We store lumber and other 
stuff up there and access is via a steep ship stair.  I'd like to build 
some kind of lift to get stuff up and down without having to manhandle it 
up and down the ship stair.  Of course I would have to find some way to 
keep the kids from riding it...
