I have an existing monorail in my home workshop and wanted a lifting capability that is faster and more convenient than manual chain pulleys.
An electric powered hoist seemed like a good option - provided I could install it myself and at little cost. This video shows how I did it.

Excellent detailed video. Thank you very much. I have a similar hoist with trolley and have mounted the same on a Ibeam which is 4 inches (3.5inches inside area) x 2 inches. The trolley along with the hoist is moving back and forth by hand push but not motorised. Do you think I need a bigger I beam ? What are the dimensions of your I beam. Did you mount the trolley first and then attached the hoist to it ? I have a similar weight problem as my hpist is a 750/1500 hoist and weighs 27 kgs. Very difficult to handle. My mounting height is only 6feet though.

My I-Beam is 6"" deep by 3" wide with tapered flanges (the modern Universal Beam or UB profile has parallel flanges). This was the minimum width recommended for the trolley. If it is fitted to a narrower beam, the wheel flanges cannot be set close enough together to track correctly. I did mount the trolley to the beam first and then bolted the hoist up to it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KJXbOYrOMxI.html Thanks for comment and I hope the video helps you achieve your project. Cheers, Alan.

Wish I had enough space in my workshop for something like that, unfortunately building regulations and garden space didn’t allow me to build bigger and higher. Still. He he

Thanks for your interest. I think it was about A$600, but I bought the unit about 4 years ago and can't remember with any certainty how much it cost. At that time, eBay was swimming in them but I couldn't find one when I looked earlier today. Its possible they don't meet current OH&S requirements... Cheers, Alan.
