The Elevator
United States
Registrace 4. 08. 2013
We're an old guy and my son. We like to work on stuff. We built an elevator for our garage and people all over the world started watching what we did. It's not rocket science, and I wanted to explain what we did because I could not find a video like it when I went to build this thing. I got the idea from my neighbor Bruce who built one before me, and I had a couple of different ideas in making ours. Since then we decided to have some fun with it, and also make some fun mods to it in response to some commenters. But we like other stuff too, cars mostly and we are posting some personal vintage video of vintage cars too. Please subscribe. We don't post a lot but we hoping we can be at least small-time youtubers! It's been fun and we want to thank everyone for watching and subscribing.
South Dakota from Minneapolis- Moving In- Starting Projects
We moved from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls South Dakota. We raised our family in Valparaiso Indiana. This feels a lot more like Indiana and we are happy to be here. We have a bigger garage and room for a hot rod. What should I get? We have a lot of projects coming up. Ceiling shelves, elevator, painting, outdoor stuff. We hope you’ll join us.

Sneak Preview Trial Crash Test Garage Attic Elevator Emergency Brake in Minneapolis
zhlédnutí 1,9KPřed 3 lety
We built the elevator/lift. We got comments about safety and added fall arresters. I started thinking about a real braking system. Designed it, built it, and it worked. But we never tested it in a free fall situation with weight on it. Until now. We added 300lbs of weight and cut the rope. Here is a sneak preview. Full video is coming soon.
Garage Elevator Emergency Brake Otis Inspired For Attic Lift in Minneapolis
zhlédnutí 59KPřed 3 lety
When we posted the first video, we were really surprised at the response, at this point the original video is approaching 800k views. The comments were amazing. A percentage of them were about safety. We designed and built this emergency brake modeled in a way after the original braking system designed by Elijah Otis. We don’t use a ratchet system or teeth because we don’t have that capability....

Love the videos! Curious if you have tested the fall arresters like you tested the emergency brake? That would be a great video too. I am currently building my lift.
OMG bro , enough safety already . your not going up 19 floors ! Stop listening to people that just want you to spend your money .
I remember going there with my mom and her boyfriend which is now her husband my stepdad it had to be between 85 and 90 something the last name was fury anybody could help me if he's in one of these scenes I'd like to show it to him good memories but
lol theirs no way that ring can do more than 2500 lbs. I sling steel daily and you'd need at least 3/4" diameter to go beyond 5k lbs 50k lbs you're talking 2-1/2 inch
Can you come built me one I will pay you
put the control switch on the pole to save holding it
That eyehook is the weak point.
You are a genius sir!😊
Appreciate the video. I have one concern; I assembled something similar to this once using a similar hoist motor assembly. Upon close inspection I noticed that the hoist housing that attaches to the metal tube support beam was only connected to the motor by 4 bolts through threaded holes of maybe 3mm of steel. My solution for this was to heavily strap the motor to the housing. Now those housing bolts “may” never strip but I felt more comfortable having a secondary safety just in case.
Go Bears!
Great video. I had the white vega. Any chance of more video of it. Thank you

I know you created another vid with an additional breaking system. But I'm curious about the fall arrestors. The ring on the arrestor looks like a weak point. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the snapping point of that ring? Additionally the eye blot you've attached to looks smaller than the one for the hoist.
What you have works fine IF the cable breaks. What if the braking mechanism in the hoist breaks or the gears strip out and it starts falling- but falls with enough tension on the cable that the safety mechanism doesn't engage? Since your hoist is a cheap Chinese unit this is a distinct possibility. Same with the fall arrestors. If it's a slower fall they probably will not engage either. Lets see you take the hoist apart, see how the brake works and simulate a failure there with both the braking mechanism then the fall arrestors. Thanks for the video.
172$ for one fall protector.
The “beam” you have running horizontally up top that the winch is mounted to should be turned the other way.. the strength of lumber or beam building gets its strength from the boards being laid vertical instead of horizontal
67 390gt mustang 365hp auto 9in posi. That was my bad ass car at that time. Currently 51 5 window chevy pickup and 34 chevy 2dr sedan. Both sbc cars. Went from the to sixtys to my sixtys.
Be nice to know what engines were in these things {if'n ya remember} My guess, the Chevelle was hopped up a bit ? My era was about 7-8 yrs prior to, with kinda a sleeper, 68 ElCamino. No S.S., Had a factory 350 in it but it was the top of the line, 350H.P. 4-speed w/a posi rear end. Was a good time 'till I tore it all up.
I want this! However I have zero carpentry skills and no tools whatsoever! How do I get somebody to build this! My garage looks just like yours. Looking forward to your reply. I live in Myrtle Beach SC
At the 3:00 mark the levers are in a different position than the second test? Additionally, did the original fall arrestors not server their intended purpose ?
It looks very strong and nice work, I love it ❤
1:52 race time
Yeah, like my 'hood in the 60s. Racing at the light at 6th and Pearl. Just name an old school muscle car and it was there, burning off their bias ply tires. Don't know where the hell the cops were hiding...
Damn traffic 😂 always on our drag strip what's the neighborhood coming to.
Lol I'm picturing the guy holding that 80s camcorder like a trophy while filming
Go old school on the hot rod.Jus sayin
Thank you for the vote. I’m really thinking 67 Chevelle.
How much did your house cost in South Dakota Love the 3 car garage
Too much. I don’t want to say 😢 it’s crazy
Thats the one i looking for
love that you could spot a cop car from a mile away. back when they weren't so much about revenue
This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing your build sir.
Wanted to build a garage lift years ago...... My "analysis paralysis" and procrastination FINALLY paid off! I found your videos and THIS is WHAT I was LOOKING FOR! Coming from an engineer 🤓, you guys did a TERRIFIC job from a DIY perspective. Looking forward to building my own (Inspired from your design & engineering) now. New Subscriber and looking forward to going through all of your content now.
Dam Traffic!....I love it man...still got my 68 ss/same color scheme as this one/but stock...owned since 92.....those Mopar guys always thought they were faster!
Graduated in 83, was driving a 73 Nova SS with a 4spd and air shocks, we drag raced every weekend at the local industrial park, what a time!!!
The lumber on your beam should be turned 90 degrees, way more strength that way, but awesome idea for storage in the attic
That is an amazing lift great job. How much did it all cost you to do?
Watching this makes me wish it was '85 all over again.

It just isn't fair. You could flip burgers for a living and own a ride like that at a reasonable price. Do you think they'd trade their timeline for mine just because I can get paid to play video games easier than ever? I wouldn't trade up if I were them.
Good project. Thank you
I have a question, I'm working on my elevator in my garage. How did you attach the top of the fall arresters into the eye bolts? I get the bottoms easy clip on but the top ones how? Did you had to open them and weld them back in.
Used to run my Dad's A12 440/6Barrel Roadrunner by there back in 86,87.. That silver Chevelle LOST 😂
Ahhh, what I would give to go back & relive the 80’s All over again…1985 My Sr year in HS! Betch’a Brian wishes he still had that Chevelle, if it wasn’t totaled back then!?! My built ‘72 Monte Carlo had a similar stance w/ those Gabriel Hijackers on the rear, just air’em up or let’em down!! 😊
Hi 👋, great job, I am going to build a elevator to go from my basement to my attic, 4 floors, so I can bring logs up to my lounge on the 3 floor, I live in a very old moulin / mill in France , that is a great project,
The header members laying flat is a glaring engineering failure. Like a floor joist, it should have been one member on edge. 2 would be okay but the important thing is that they are tall like a floor joist. A stack of papers are easily bent. A proper header can be placed on top and fastened to the one below.
I think im in that video . I make a u turn up by the tracks to watch the race in a Maroin 1985 Buick Rivera .
GTX is a 3.54 car slooooow add some 4.10's and its all over for the chev
