re: Cargo Lift for New Camp

cargo lifts for houses are pretty much commercially available. For 17 years I had a cargo lift that was made out of a boat lift motor, gear box and cables. With salt water exposure the cables would have a 4-5 year life, tested by dragging a Terry cloth rag over the cable. More the 1-2 snags per foot was time to change. Since this is not an approved elevator, getting repair service is not easy. The dude that installed my elevator had one that dropped and seriously hurt a person. In lawsuit he lost his business, shop, and all of his personal wealth.
