We've had the pull-down attic ladder/stairs since the house was built and the attic is pretty user friendly with headroom, lights, floor and relatively clean since we replaced the fiberglass with sprayed open cell foam. Anyways, numerous plastic tubs with decorations for every holiday are stored there. The whole thing is highly organized BUT lifting those tubs overhead was a devil, even for an avid weightlifter. This little hoist was the answer. We mounted it so the tubs would clear the steps and it worked perfectly the first time. We used a 50 inch long Christmas tree to put the tubs in, hooked it up and it worked. I thought that it would take two people, on up in the attic and one down, but one can operate it fairly easily. Five stars!
