Electric Lift In Garage
Edwin Ruff, Moses Lake, Wash.: "Here's a photo of an electric lift I made in my garage to put boxes up in the attic. I already had a winch so I mounted a pulley on the rafter for the rope and made a platform that's about 32 in. square. I just load the platform and winch it up to unload the boxes. In the past I always had to climb up and down a ladder for each box. I use the lift mostly at Christmas time when storing decorations in the attic.
  "The winch was originally equipped with a hand crank, but I converted it to electric operation by attaching a rod to the winch and using an electric drill to supply the power."
