The winter weather has started the design and construction of the hard top hoist for the garage in the new house.
It's based on a modified idea I got from the version of the one found on this site here.
HardTop Hoist, Inc. - The E-Z Top hardtop hoist for Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Honda, Ford, Jaguar, Chevrolet, Allante hardtop
But with the design slightly modified as the twisting action of the top when raised worries me a little. I also want to have a docking cradle for the hardtop to get locked into when left raised so there is no chance of it falling.
The lifting will require using an electric hoist with a modified winch from GMC for $85. It will also require modifying to run of 240v through a 12volt
battery charger.
GMC — Global Machinery Company
As construction goes along I'll post some pics if you guys want.
