Thanks Lou.....yes it is a small hoist/crane...I originally built it to lift the D11 dozer on/off the work bench, turns out I need it more now because the dozer is just under 100lbs and the truck is just over with the battery...yup they are "chunky" ( and don't worry about the lift pulling the shelf down it's built chunky too!!! ) the lift will really be needed when I build the shovel, the way I build stuff I'm sure it will be "really really chunky"

Thanks.....the truck with the big battery in it is just over 100lbs (battery is about 10lbs)
