Worm Gear Recommendation for Lifting 500 lbs From Ceiling
Question:
This may be a ignorant question but, can you use a ratchet strap in place of chain hoist or block and tackle to lift vertically a single item weighing not more than 500 lbs. Amount of height required will be 8’ from the floor end hook on floor?………….. Please advise and thank you………..

Expert Reply:
Ratchet straps aren't designed for lifting. Their ratings are for the weight they can secure. Since they aren't setup for lifting it would be incredibly difficult to try and crank the ratchet if not totally impossible.
For a winch the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch # DL10954 would work great as it has more than enough capacity. It also can be mounted to the ceiling to allow the winch to hoist the weight easier.
