Great info I had a question in regards to input distance, is it possible to reduce input distance if your creating a lift in a garage, Setup would be 4 static pulleys on the ceiling feeding back through guide pulleys, to a load bar that would receive the 4 cables from the corners of the lift, with a single output heading towards the wench/handcrank Would there be a way to reduce the input distance due to space constraints ie only have 4 feet to work with but want 8ft of travel on the lift
