At almost 70, I needed a little help lifting a Honda CT 90 off the back rack on my pickup. I first used big stainless lag screws (Lowes.) in predrilled holes to mount one end of a 1.5 inch square tube (Lowes.) to the garage ceiling on the bottom side of an 8" thick transverse support beam for the roof and then slide the hoist up on the bar and secured the other end of the bar with big stainless lag screws in predrilled holes. I rigged up a 3 to 1 pulley, so it lifts the 200 lb load with ease. Worked without a hitch.
