I looked a little closer at my hoist today. I've had my FH hoist for many years. It's actually a GRIP branded green colored 2 ton Harbor freight hoist. It works with little gearbox like reduction system, and it works out well. The lower square chain sprocket works out just fine and you lose very little head room with it. its just a light hoist so I wouldn't get too crazy with what I lift with it, but it works pretty well for small stuff in my little shop for things that are too heavy to handle by hand. Its a small 2 stall so I can't get a forklift or anything like that in there and I don't have a skid loader
