Non powerd........you know, like the old ones that worked with weights?
I'm thinking I'd like to have something like this to get firewood upstairs rather than carry, or walk up or groceries. There's got to be something somewhere

John,
This isn't a set of plans but it might give you a start.

Well you could go to a second or third rate resturant & you'd probably find a complete dum waiter no plans needed.
Sorry John I just couldn't resist.
I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.
My web page has a pop up. It is a free site, just close the pop up on the right side of the screen
I'm for sale.

John,
Seeing how Bart and Mark (and now that smart youknowwhatguy, Clardy) have beaten me to the funny side here, I guess I will have to go serious right off.
In my experience (which could be adjusted by input from an engineer very quickly), counterweighted lift systems work best when the counterweight and the load are balanced, or nearly balanced. With counterweighted windows, for instance, the expenditure of effort to open or close them is approximately equal to the force required to overcome the friction of the sash slides and the percent efficiency of the pulley. When work load changes dramatically, as when raising several arm loads or a wheelbarrow load of firewood, the potential balancing weight of the counterweights ends up at the wrong side of the lift at one or the other end of the lift regardless of whether it is heavier or lighter than the load.
The most economical method I currently see for lifting substantial loads in a house daily is to utilize the mechanical advantage afforded by a block and tackle pulley system. If you were to counterweight the load of the empty lift itself approximately, and on the high side, then a lesser length of rope (chain, cable?) would need to be drawn thru the pulleys.
John, for a man of your accomplishments, this project is a gimmee for economy in expenditure of both electrons and USD’s.

All you need is a little waiters suit and you will be fixed right up there ole buddy. You have the rest of it down pat.Originally Posted by John Hebert
I know someone here in town who has an electric model that they use to take laundry up and down and also groceries. But you said you wanted a manual model, hummmm don't know where one of those might be. Someone will come up with a link for you I'll bet. The depth of knowledge here is awesome.

Just keep working on it. It'll give up and do right after a while.
Hmm. Electric winch, not plugged in, and put a crank on it.
Just throw it through the window?
Sorry, had to do that one.!!
