As a union elevator constructor, this was a super fun video to watch. You have great ideas and great execution. May I suggest not putting your wench and "safety" on the same piece of the strut? As well I would encourage you to find something stronger to mount these to as I have always been taught to make sure your safety line is attached to something that can take a 5,000 lb load/ force.
Awesome as always. One suggestion, probably nothing you haven’t thought of and decides against, but anyway, your fall arrester could be more useful if it were attached to that 2x12 or whatever it is holding the mini split so in the unlikely case the structure holding the winch fails, the fall arrester is not connected to that same structure making it useless.
Excellent project, one thing though - get a key lock control for the lift, kids are brighter than you think 😀
I am rebuilding my shop after the ice storm caved it in. I am making my walls 10 feet and a 4/12 roof. The last 6 feet of the shop is going to have 8 foot cross support and become storage. I love your dumbwaiter and will try to replicate it.
Virtually every single hoist, block, or winch, either hand-powered or electric all have a warning label not to lift people.
Am 73 and built my house when I was 40. Have outside steps and landing down to garage. Been thinking of a lift for my shopping attached to the landing. The steel channel is brilliant. May opt for hand operated boat trailer winch as its outside. When I’m 93 I may opt for electrics.
I built an elevator for my dog to get in and out of our house. He was getting too old to climb the 12 steps. I used a similar electric winch for my build. Please make sure and check that the gears have lube. Mine did not when when I checked. There is a lube fitting at the base of the gear housing. When I removed it to check, it was empty. Great job on your build! I didn’t even think of using a fall stop on mine. If I were still using mine it would be a great addition but my boy passed almost 2 years ago.
You have a kid. Every think of getting a deep foam landing pad to attenuate any falls and also have a fun jump platform set up for rainy days … just a fun idea.
Avoid a single-fault failure. The Fall Arrestor should be installed on a seperate set of struts, in case the motor supports fail.
The fall arrester should be affixed to a different point. You still have a single point of failure for both the hoist and the arrester.
I need to add a second story to my shop just to have one of these! Cool project, Jay :)
!!!! Jay!!! !!!
Apparently CZcams has some sort of neural connection to my thoughts because I was just pondering how to make a cargo lift for my shop. And just like that, this video popped up into my listing. Thanks!!!
Pretty cool! A little more reliance on wood glue than I'd ever be comfortable with though. If someone asked me to imagine how a cabinet maker would make an elevator, this would be it
Jay, I have 25 yrs plus HVACR experience. As for the drain on the minisplit, if you can access the drain pan, pour one cap full of bleach into the drain pan once per year. This will prevent the algea from growing and clogging the drain.
Thanks for solving a problem that has been ruminating in my mind ever since we bought a new townhouse. My disabilities make stairs a nightmare at my age and I wasn't looking forward to trying to convince my son to come over everytime I needed to store things in the attic. Unistrut has got to be one of the most useful materials ever made 😊 After watching the video I only suggest that when you add the 2nd arrestor they should be attached on the trolleys on both sides 😊
Super cool! Any plans to add some cheesy 80s soft jazz for elevator music?
I'm 73 now. I need one of these to get me up to my bedroom. ;-)
It would be great to replace the floor with metal rack you can see through. That way, you won't accidentally crush someone while coming down.
