Home Built Shop Elevator
 ✖  |
Instead of climbing stairs to get up to the 8-ft. high upper deck in his shop, Harry Engeland bought and modified an "electric-powered" platform. The unit was originally designed to lift a project up 3 ft. so it would be more accessible to work on.
Its electric motor drives a gearbox that winds a cable which raises or lowers the workbench.
"On back of it, there are rollers that run in a track and I just extended the track and put a new cable on. I also installed switches to start the lifting and lowering," Engeland says.
