To be honest, I made this a few years back, before I got my Everlast PP256. To do the little welding that was needed, I used my Lincoln tombstone AC225. The hoist itself is from Harbor Freight and rated 650lbs single line/ 1300lbs two part line. The trolley travel is 8.5' and the hoist extends around 4' out the door. It comes in very handy to get items upstairs in my barn. I also have a second control switch for the hoist on the ground level.
