I've seen many hard top lift questions on MUD and searched for the perfect solution. There is no "perfect" solution. However I found a cheap and easy solution so I thought I would share. On Amazon I found a garage storage lift with 250# capacity. The Racor model #PHL-1R. ($140 plus shipping) I simply ditched the platform and replaced the ends with some rubbermaid hooks from the hardware store. Those were pricey at $10 each. If I had been more patient, I probably could have found them online cheaper. Another $15 on misc nuts and bolts since I was mounting to steel and not wood joists.
