Best way to hoist a xm to second floor

[Adam 442]

I have an overhead crane and tracking to hoist stuff to the mezz level of my garage. Any idea what the best way to rig up a xm sled to lift it up there? Thanks!

Build a long (and strong) pallet to set it on & lift the pallet.

not the steering post. these new sleds are too light for that. set on pair of pallets. be safer. i use a forklift.but not many of us have a mezzaneen and a forklift.

but i also put a new hoist in too. i cant put a sled in and take it out of a pickup anymore.

Spindles and in front of the drop brackets just like the helicopters lift them.

Awesome, thanks guys. I googled how to hook up for a helicopter but came up with nothing. I moved my gto out of the way so if this goes poorly at least it is just the sled lol.

The windshield suggests your method may not be that successful??

If you don't have room for the GTO, It can spend the summer at my place. I'll even come pick it up.
