Bob Bergman, Sounds like he is talking

Have any of you built anything like this for your shops?  I want to make it to handle only about 200-300# since that is as big as I can imagine I will need to lift at this time.   Work area around my machines is too tight for a fork lift and I cannot get a a cherry picker's base under the lathe bed.  I was thinking about something mounted behind the lathe and or mills or from the ceiling.
