Nicely done, i would have gone with the harbour freight winch for the hoist, would make life easier.

 

yah man

harbor freight electric hoist = da bomb

definitely put one on your wish list..... (xmas is coming lol)

 

awesome!

well done!

 

I considered an electric hoist, but then would have to worry about a power supply.

I also wanted to be able to just grab the whole setup and take it upto deer camp with me. The chain hoist is probably more practical for those reasons.

At some point I may splice into the circuit for the garage and hookup another outlet for power close to the access but the only difference imo between this and the electric hoist is this takes a little bit longer to hang a deer

Either way it works great!

 

Looks like it will work well.:wink:

 

Very nice! I mounted a boat winch to my garage wall and a pulley up above. I can back my truck under where the pulley is, hook up the gambrel, and then just hoist the deer up. Once up above the ceiling joists (my garage interior is not finished like yours), I lift the gambrel just high enough so I can slide a steel pipe through the gambrel and across the joists. I must use a ladder to do that. That way I can relieve the tension on the winch and cable. When I want to take the deer down I just hook the cable back up to the gambrel and lift it an inch so I can pull the pipe out.
