I've seen these sell of almost $1700 each. Build it yourself is sure worth it. Ken gives away a lots of his trade secrets. I bet his employees learn a lot from him. Some may even go on to start their own garage/construction companies. I'll bet Ken is just the type to love to see those who learned under him go on to also be successful, rather than resenting it.

thank you for giving me an idea for a lift to the attic space above my garage/shop, where I store material and odds and ends. I have a similar ladder that was left by our contractor when our home was built which he never returned to retrieve. I have kept it my shop for the past 25+ years thinking I would eventually have need of it for painting the outside of the home. But, now I feel I will re-purpose this ladder in much the same way you have illustrated here, a lift that I had for years thought about building out of framing lumber. Now, you have given me a better idea.

That’s a back saver! Ken you should be selling those lift ladders! Something you could do when the weather is bad... They would be hard to ship but you could put a kit together with the winch and all of the other parts along with instructions and let folks buy their own ladder using the exact make and length.

Hope to figure out a way to implement the ladder auto-clip/unclips that hold the upper ladder rail in place to hold the sled in place too.

This is a great idea. Good job. I can't see it being a problem for this application, but I was warned many years ago by an aircraft maintenance engineer that they are single-use only for aircraft use. If you re-use them, they can work loose where there's vibration. I re-use them most of the time and I've never had a problem, but I wouldn't use them on a car or a powered boat, for example. I only mention it because I'm a pedantic retired engineer who sometimes believes that perfection is the minimum standard.

My husband is building me a ladder hoist to move our Christmas decorations up and down our stairs from your video. We're using an old ladder and the two pieces are very close to each other, doesn't seem like enough space for a shoulder ball bearing (3/8" x 7/8") to slide between the two. Are the shoulder bearings absolutely necessary? Great Project for us and hope it will work well to move our decorations. Thanks for your detailed video.

Most hoists I find only have 6 foot lenth for the up/down control switch and yours looks longer than that.

Worked great for getting those bundles to the roof (a 1-story). The biggest cost were the clamps and attaching bolts/nuts.
