Looks good, but I would want more chain than a five foot lift. We all
know how to re-rig, but it's a PITA.

BTW, I disagree wholeheartedly with the suggestion of a multi-part
block and tackle as a substitute. Even with cam cleats or rachets on
the B&T you have much less control. The little guy cited below is rate
for 550 pounds. To do that with a six part B&T you need to pull
around 100 pounds, including some friction, which is hard to do with
any control. A little WD-40 and a plastic bag and rust doesn't have to
worry. Even though Swee****er had plenty of winch power (13, ranging
up to 80:1 primaries), we took one of these around the world. It was
useful several times. It's on Fintry now, rust free and still useful.

columbus mckinnon makes comealongs as well as the chain for them. I have a
