DIY Elevator.

Taking a break from my Ferrari 308 build is not by choice. Sometimes there are just other priorities, like building an elevator to help get tires up and down in the shop.

Lou, that was pretty cool making that. Your very talented. Nice to see other projects on your channel besides the ferrari. Don't get me wrong, I do love that car. Looking forward to the next one.

[@kevinsabourin5102]

I have a very similar shop with the same plasma table still haven't tried using the table or the new hypertherm xp45 someday I will figure it out! Great video thanks for sharing

[@LouTrottier]

Cheers. Thanks for watching.

You will like the XP45

[@chandrasekharsabbarapu8431]

Good design and economic

[@LouTrottier]

Thanks.

[@adampoll3428]

I'm thinking a limit switch at the top and bottom would finish this thing off nicely so it always stops at the same spots. Just wire them in series with your up and down buttons up at the winch.

[@LouTrottier]

thanks, maybe eventually once I work out all the bugs.

[@georgesbonellodupuis8245]

Hahah. Watched till the end.😄😄

ah, thank you! cheers.

Great project, thanks for sharing. Any chance you could provide a link to those casters on Amazon? Thanks!

A few people have asked and unfortunately the exact product is no longer available.

@@LouTrottier the ones you used have 2” wide wheels, right?

[@LouTrottier]

@@kevingearhardt5208 yes

[@Edith0421]

Very nice design u made , but what about safety part if the winch cable breaks how are you going to save the free fall. Please share video for that too. What capacity winch have you used. I think if you two winches one up and one down both working in opposite directions then may be if one string breaks the other one would definitely save you.

[@LouTrottier]

Thanks. 1000lb capacity. No other videos planned right now but perhaps one day I will post an update video.

[@dadgarage7966]

Don't worry, he's likely thought of everything, probably more than the CSA or ANSI could for elevating and overhead lifting devices.

[@ambrishgowda4183]

good workmenship. But add atleast 2 fall arrester sir.

[@LouTrottier]

👍🏻

[@reubenmalandu7490]

This is cool man I have liked this more. How much is involved if on once to do own at home

[@LouTrottier]

a home unit could be made much easier as it wouldn't have to carry as much weight i suppose.

[@reubenmalandu7490]

@@LouTrottier I thank you very much Lou Trottier. If one that can take three people at a time can that be classified as a commercial one ? Sorry am asking a lot

@@reubenmalandu7490 I'm sure if you use it as a people mover it will need all kinds of certifications if used anywhere else outside your home.

excellent JOB! Doing a home version out of wood and unistrut soon like others have here on youtube. BTW, isnt that red bumper by your hook suppose to stop the hoist? Position it to max height, then install bumper so its against the hoop on the hoist (hoop=stop switch). Am I wrong here?

[@LouTrottier]

That is exactly what it is for a no I haven’t set it up yet. Someday. Cheers
