Cheap Ticky Tocky Hoist

[Mudfoot]

Been wanting an electric hoist to lift my mower deck and other items. Found an 1100 lb capacity hoist. Has a wired and wireless remote. Just have it hanging from a beefed up rafter.

My next project is to pickup a used gantry crane on wheels. Horrible Freight has a nice one for $800. Marketplace has lots for sale, but nothing close by. My zero turn weighs 650 pounds. I'm estimating lifting the front to be under 300 pounds. Not sure I trust my install enough to lift the rear, though. I should have done this year's ago.

Just thought I'd brag on my lift, lol.

Sure is handy, I have a block garage with a big "I" beam going across the center. I use a chain hoist on a beam trolley that makes cleaning the mower deck a breeze.

Be sure to put Jack stands under it, stay safe.

Yeah, it's pretty stout, but I don't trust it for a second
