I got too many projects and not enough room on my lift. I currently have the hf lift and it has served me well but I would like one that is bigger.
I bought steel and a 2000 pound ATV winch from hf and a few winch blocks. I plan to make it 9` x 3` and lift just under 4'. The hf lift has a narrow base and I will make mine the same size as the top and I think retractable side supports to stabilize the lift for the really high lift setting at 4'. Since i will be using a winch i will also make a safety bar that will catch the lift on approx 1" increments in the event of winch or cable failure. I tested out the winch idea on my current lift and it worked sweet! Maybe tomorrow i will load the lift up with some weights and make sure the 2000 winch will do the jo. All in I should be in it for less than 200.
Hopefully I can get started tomorrow.
