This hoist is everything I was hoping for.  It's bolted to a board that lays across several ceiling joists in my garage next to the garage door opener.  It is used to lift a 200 lb fifth wheel hitch from the bed of my truck when I need to use the truck for other than towing a fifth wheel.  An eye bolt with 3" flat washer slips into the hitch jaws.  I lift the unit a foot or two, drive out of the garage, and let the hitch down onto a furniture dolly (Harbor Freight) and push it over where it's stored.  I have the cable doubled mostly to slow the unit down when setting the hitch back down into the rails in the truck bed.
