Elevator Progress

STR-14 said
When you get up to the top level, how are you going to fill in the gap between the platform and the top level? Are you running two hoists or just one cabled through the lift and attached across from the hoist, similar to a 4 post car hoist? What kind of weight do you anticipate lifting? I think that you have a neat idea going here......

Single hoist on a turnaround. The platform will have a short segment on the wall side mounted via piano hinge that falls into place when it reaches the upper level. Theoretically the turnaround doubles the capacity of the winch but I don't plan to exceed its original rating of 1500#.
