Subject: Loft hoist-- what do people like?


Gorham, NY

Hi,

I have put up a 40*64 pole barn (I didn't do the wood, or metal), I did the radiant heat system, and am doing most of the electric and plumbing.

The barn was built with a roof with a 9*12 pitch and the trusses were spaced at 2 foot instead of the usual 4 foot spacings for these trusses.  This closer spacing was done so I can have a second floor that is actually in the center of the trusses and is 16*64*8.  With this design, the second floor can support 40 pounds/sf which is about 20 tons of "stuff".  I just have to watch out that I don't concentrate a lot of weight in a small sf area.

Anyways, I have a double man-door at one end of the second floor "loft" and am looking into a hoist of some type to bring heavier things up to the loft for storage-- like a rail hoist or pole/pivot hoist like you see on pickups.  Would appreciate any ideas about this.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
