I can't think of anything in the garage that I'd hang a comealong on. Ramps take up too much space,
especially if the bed is loaded with a fifth-wheel hitch, tool box, blue boy, etc. Easier to ask for
a hand.

You can make an improvised gantry crane with two stepladders, a 2x10
plank, and a few C-clamps to steady the plank. I've done that a few
times for hoisting heavy stuff onto the tailgate.


That is similar to how the screen guys did the screen over my pool.
They had a scaffold plank on two 10-12' step ladders spanning the
pool. It was pretty scary looking but they don't call them screen
monkeys for nothing.
(No Harry, these are skinny little white guys.)
They do climb around on that 2" framing like monkeys tho.
