How to Move Heavy Objects in your Workshop

There are many good techniques to gain mechanical advantage in your workshop. The bigger your shop gets, the bigger your tools become. Moving and lifting tools into place can be difficult and possibly cause injury. I like to use mechanical advantage whenever I can. This video shows how you can lift hundreds of pounds all by yourself without breaking a sweat :)

Great solution! I am making furniture in my shop and have trouble getting it off the table safely when I finish, so now I know exactly what I need to get on my next Harbor Freight run!

good idea. suggestion though, add a couple blocks beside the winch, a little narrower than your floor joists so it cant slide and fall on your noggin when you push sideways onto the table :)

Good suggestion, I realized that when I was pushing the box onto the table. If you watch carefully, I you can see I am not really applying much lateral pressure when I push the box onto the table, but it is still a good idea to block or clamp the board in place... just in case.
