Garage Storage Lift with 1200 lb AC Wench

It's done! This 4 x 8 lift storage if lift and store over 1200 lbs. It lets me store the heavy Summer things (lawn mower, grill, bikes etc., out out the way in the Winter and then swap them in the Spring.
I used 3/16 wire rope, all stainless steel hardware, a steel overhead storage grate, and a 1200 AC powered wench. All of the cables go up to the ceiling and come together into a single centered location where the wench can pull it.
I had to beef up the garage attic support to make sure the weight would be distributed across at least 4 crossing joists.
