I realized the ceiling is free storage space so have started adding all kinds of mounts and hangers for stuff in my garage. The fan’s too heavy to lift by hand over-head so i build a lift station for it. Plans are in the works now for more ceiling lifts.
My wife was wholly unimpressed.
I’ve ordered one and will share my next project when it’s in the works. It’s much more weight so the worm gear will be a necessity and the drill-driven capability will be most welcome. Thank you for sharing the link!
Depending on your load and ceiling capacity, you can swap the stock cable for garage door cables to make them easier to work with. Those are supposed to be rated to 350lbs.
