I lifted 24‘ x 18“ wood beams into place with this hoist hook to scaffolding. It sounds sketchy, but it was worse. Lifted those beams so easily. Although they were under the max weight, I still hooked it up in a double pulley configuration as it bounced a bit pulling straight from the hook. Doing this really smooth out its operation. It is now mounted to one of Vevors swing arms and is grossly overpowered for what I’m using it for. Unsurprisingly this is a great piece of equipment for a growing shop.
