I got locked out of
TBN when I changed my email address and had to change my screen name and start over as Travelover.
My little barn has a second floor, so there are 2x8 floor hoists that run crosswise in the ceiling of the first floor. I bought some extra 2x8s and sistered two adjoining beams. I mounted the 880# winch between them with metal strapping.
It groans a little when I really lift something heavy, but it is plenty strong
