Even cheaper and looks easier to use. Maybe one could develop a hard top
hoist with this:

It is only rated for 50 lbs. How much does a hardtop weigh? Mine is
pretty light, but it is missing the rear window.

Subject: Suspend your top
Listers
A week or so ago there was a thread about suspending a hard top from
the
garage ceiling. I was just looking at the new Sears Craftsman tool catalog
today . They have a unit they call the "Pro-Stor" brand "Heavy Lift
System".
It's a steel frame that mounts on the ceiling and lifts a four foot square
platform on which you put storage boxes full of stuff and hoist them up and
out of the way. It looks to me like you could forget the platform come up
with some straps or hooks and you've got a perfect rig for your top. The
thing is rated for 250 lbs. and costs $160. It would be hard to make
something nice for that price.
I hope someone finds this useful.
