I preparing to improve my setup for moving equipment in and out of my home basement through by bulkhead. This is a standard Bilco with precast stairs setup. I've been some lowering down of equipment <500lbs using a set of wooden rails a sled pallet and ropes. This has worked very well, but I now have a 1300lbs item to move that is more than I am comfortable with my rope setup. I have a couple large trees to use as anchors.
I was originally thinking of a cable electric hoist. However for a less expensive and easier to move around setup, I could do a lever chain hoist. I've never touched one tough. I would need to swap out the chain on most for enough working length.
Frankly, I would probably go for this Horror Frieght one:
Lever Chain Hoist - 1-1/2 Ton
Would I run into any issues swapping the chain with a 20ft 5/16" grade 80? Am I going to hate moving things raising or lowering 15ft of chain?
