    Re: My $110 4th Axis Lifting solution

    Looks just like my trolly setup. same hf winch even!
    Nice!. Figured my simple light weight design would get others to setup same!
    I used 2 pair of 440 lb trolleys rolls smooth Just noisy .
    I have been adding track in different locations on my ceiling to use for lifting anything 400 lbs or less. "AWSOME " one of more useful shop upgrades. back truck in and trolley over and lift out 250lb sheet goods with a c clamp, and no help.
    Just need to keep in mind its for moving vise, pallets, 4th axis tools around and bulky light material .
    Not pulling motors out of cars

    Hi lane
    I actually had all the parts when you made your excellent post so it motivated me (my back) to do it.
    Thanks for your original post.
