Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The downside of my install- I have to get on a ladder to use the crank on the winch.

I built one, using an industrial winch (with anti-slip ratcheting action), with 5X the lifting capacity, for 1/5 the price of the commercial.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone use a pulley system to store their hardtop on the ceiling of their garage? If so which one. Thanks

POST 2Original post

I use this hoist sold through Performance Products: http://www.performanceproducts.com/p...al+Winch+Hoist I like the design because it doesn't put a lot of pressure on the hardtop seals. But the enamel covered metal hooks can scratch your paint if you are not careful.

POST 3Original post

I built one, using an industrial winch (with anti-slip ratcheting action), with 5X the lifting capacity, for 1/5 the price of the commercial. Of course, my open ceiling (exposed trusses) allowed me to get creative, and add extra bracing to mount the winch. I used 2 1/2" PVC, which has a larger radius than the aluminum pipe cradle that I've seen (more surface contact, less lbs. sq./in.) I also use nylon ratchet straps as a safety, since I wouldn't trust one of the commercial top hoists alone, either. The downside of my install- I have to get on a ladder to use the crank on the winch. But if I only do that twice a year, who cares? I'll eventually post some pics. It's not pretty, but it's heavy-duty.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
