Installation was a piece of cake. The most time consuming part was hand ratcheting all the screws into the 2x6's and also the 12, 4" lag screws into the ceiling joists.

My three ceiling joists were 51" apart instead of 48", so I had to use the 2x6's.

I loaded up the platform last night with some cinder blocks to test the weight overnight, and then tonight lifted the top off.

RACOR HD lift on amazon.com for $130
Ratchet straps at home depot for $10
1" pipe insulation at home depot for $1.39 ea

I apologize in advance for the iPhone pics

Ok. Everything seemed to install properly.

My problem is it doesn’t go up straight. The cables twist over each other. The load is balanced - I used straps.

I think the cable ring is pushed in all the way but it’s not flush. Did I screw that up? Anyone have photos close up.

Frustrated.

Where can I upload a photo? Who do most use for linking?
