Looking for advice for a 110v AC winch or hoist for an elevator platform in my barn.
I've built a 4' x 4' platform, which will ride on a guided track. The platform will need to lift 14' to the second floor of my barn.
Lift capacity would need to be around 800# max.
I'm looking at the winch in the link below, but no nothing of the brand. It has a fall break, but not sure that I would trust it, so this adds the cost of a fall-stop device that's
almost as much as the winch. About $1k total investment.
The major plus to this winch is the wireless remote....perfect for my application!
The price is getting close to a "used" chain type hoist, which likely would not need the fall protection.
Also looked at the Champion 880# AC winch, which would work, but has a wired remote.
Is anybody familiar with this brand of winch? (Prowinch)
Advice on a different setup?
