I just bought a new place with 12' ceilings in the garage. I was thinking in the garage this afternoon after daydreaming about how to maximize storage space. I'd like to hang my sled from the ceiling to get it out of the way for the off season. I was thinking about fabbing up a platform for it to sit with three anchor points. One beside each spindle and one out back. The way I figured I'd raise and lower it is having a few sets of duty rope blocks. I use them constantly for work and they are extremely effective for minimal effort exerted for a heavy mass lifted. If I follow through with this, I'll keep it tight to the corner or the garage close to the walls. I know that is twhere the maximum strength would be in the truss's. I also thought i'd crawl into the attic and run multiple 2x8's along several truss's to add some strength by tying them together.
what you fellas figure? Am I nuts? Cheers!
