the harbor freight hoist mentions a 20% duty cycle, have you had any issues with the motor overheating while raising shingle bundles to the roof?

how much did you save on material? and were you charging labor when you built this?
@theshop6161 Жыл бұрын
I believe i only spent around $300 for the hoist and some odds and ends. No charge for labor as i built it for myself, but made a good return with out on the job it was built for. 2 years later its still going strong!!!!

Wow! very nicely done. Thanks for sharing. So just a note, I had hoist cable break few days ago, never would have thought that could happen It rusted inside the block weight that is just above the end hook. It was a drop down ladder that fell 9 ft and cost be 300 to buy new one. Just sharing because I am hoping my stupid mistake will help others use extra safety measures. Will now have a 2nd strap to hold load if cable fails, which will suck unless I can make auto retract one direction. Anti fall lines are just too expensive.

We only needed an 18ft section, but if you were to need to get up 26ft you could just swap the components over to a taller ladder!

i want a hight adjustable.. any tips ?
@theshop61612 жыл бұрын
Oufff haha now thats a challenge! I'm not sure off the top of my head as to how i would do something like that, but its probably possible! My concerns would be 1. Weight - The lift is already fairly heavy and a bit awkward to move about, so I can only imagine adding more hardware/components. 2. Moving components - Something like an adjustability feature introduces more complexity/moving parts and would create more potential for either user error or mishap. I wouldnt be against the idea, but keeping it simple would be best. Actually as I'm writing this i just thought of a "solution". Instead of having the ladder be adjustable just keep multiple ladders of different lengths. Kind of a simple solution that would only require mounting the basket and motor from one ladder to another (which is not hard to do). That way you get your adjustability, but don't sacrifice the weight or structure of the ladder hoist!

@caper582 жыл бұрын
@@theshop6161 what about using an extension ladder, adjust the ladder to the height you want, and if you don't like those skimpy hooks that lock it in place, drill and through bolt it. That way the top stays the same and the motor is mounted on the bottom section.
