Is your roof strong enough to bolt on a chain hoist?

I’ve came across those on marketplace for cheap. I’ve been tempted to buy one but I don’t have any real use.
You would be surprised the uses you will find. I sometimes clamp an old door to the forks to make an adjustable height table.

Mine also has a wired remote switch so it is handy for holding heavy pieces while you are assembling them, etc.

I have to admit that I use the bucket or forks on my tractor for the lifting, and work on it outside...

And for us older guys, the light is a lot better out there.

I've never been in such a hurry that I can't wait for good weather. I lift anything that needs to be "up" with my grapple.

A couple 4x4's wedged thru the lower lid and a half sheet of plywood clamped to the 4x4's works well.

I keep a polly pallet with a solid surface that I use as a work bench for yard tools etc.
I'm lucky enough to have a small forklift which makes lifting and moving stuff around very easy. One benefit of a worn out back.

There's the 1000lb motorcycle lift from HF. Little pricey at $550 - $600. Long enough to act as workbench also.
I use a M/C lift. It was pricey as it is "Snap-on" brand. (I didn't buy it new) It is my go-to work bench now. No matter what, it's always the correct height.
It's far cheaper to buy the best tool than to make ANY trip to the doctors!

Mount a winch. Run the cable through a fully system from the rafters. You can even fab a trolley style runner to push it over after raised.

I have a winch mounted to lift deer in the garage for butchering. I just use the battery from my lawnmower
