I got this to lift a/c units up into a ceiling. Light lifts and short distances. Worked like a charm. Runs smooth. Didn't tangle. I used a cleat to hold the rope while I was working.Will it lift 4000 lbs? Maybe, but not without a winch to pull the rope. What could I hook it to that will hold 2 tons plus a safety factory of 2? Dragging something I might give a try. That brings me to why I replaced the rope.For the price I would buy again.A 3/8" twisted nylon rope is plenty strong but nylon stretches a lot. If I have 4000 lbs of tension on it what I've made is a giant slingshot. If something breaks there will be parts flying about. I put a 3/8" by 100' Dacron climbing rope on it. The Dacron rope doesn't stretch and recoil the way nylon does and I got some more lift length. The rope did cost as much as the pulley system but safety first.

I got this to replace a 2-pulley system which I’d used to raise and lower a 350 lb. foldable utility trailer. When using the 2-pulley system , I was fraught with anxiety due to how very hard I had to pull to get the trailer raised. This 4-pulley system allows me to much more easily raise and lower the trailer, reducing both the physical and mental stress on me.The issue of the rope twisting was easily remedied by taking my time running it through my gloved hands a number of times, until it stopped untwisting. I did this with the block & tackle mounted at the ceiling, with the two blocks up against one another. It will now hang with the lower block pulled all the way down without twisting, unlike before I untwisted the rope. Hope this helps.

Can it handle 1000+ lbs? I don't know. There are complaints in the DM about it's plastic pulleys, so... Thus far, it suits my needs.

Worked well, whished someone offered one with more then an 8 ft lift.

Cheap Chinese junk construction, but helpful, inexpensive, and worth the money in some circumstances. BUT YOU COULD BE RISKING YOU LIFE TO LIFT 4000 LBS (even 1500 lbs). As the packaging implies, it would be great for hunters hauling up a deer by the hind legs for dressing, but for anything REALLY heavy, get something better made--like maybe a chain hoist.The rope is polyester and EXTREMELY slick and somewhat stiff. For anything of significant weight, grip is the big issue. Replacing the rope with a better one would make a much better and more usable product. The "keepers" on the hooks are cheap pot metal and immediately bent and got in the way of function.For each foot you move a 700 lb object with the 7 to 1 ratio pulley system, you have to exert a hundred pounds of downward force and pull the rope 7 feet (actually even more force to overcome friction and rope stiffness). I used it to lift a 300 to 400 lb. stump 3 feet so a pickup truck could back under it. I barely accomplished this alone with high friction gloves and I am 6'2" and 235 lbs--the slick rope was the biggest problem and it cut into the hands due to its small diameter (around 1/4"). To get enough traction on the rope, it was necessary to rap it around my hands as I pulled in 21 feet of rope, so it was not easy to have someone else help. Good luck with anything much heavier. However, I couldn't have gotten the stump into the truck that day if I hadn't had this hoist, and I know it will come in handy for future situations. Just don't try to use it on anything beyond 1000 lbs. unless you have a winch and a death wish. Two tons lift capacity is a joke.

If you are hoisting heavy loads this will get the job done easily.

As delivered, I'd rate it 2 orf 3 stars (see others' low-star reviews for all the reasons). The reason I ordered it is that to buy a high-quality 4-sheave block and tackle would have cost a LOT. With this, for about $20, you get the basic components that can be cheaply modified to make a pretty good system. One thing I was pleasantly surprised about is that the blocks were a lot bigger than I imagined: they are about 4.5" long and 2.5" wide. Here are the most important mods I made:1. Replace the rope with a less-stretchy, less twisty rope. I bought a 70' length of 1/4" "starter cord".2. Replace all the regular nuts with nylon locking nuts. You'll need an additional 6 of them if I recall correctly (they are metric, 8mm)3. Sand the outer edges of the pulleys to make them smoother for less friction.4. Add an 8mm washer to each side of each pulley and each spacer. You'll need 48 8mm washers to do this. This is really important, since it greatly reduces friction on the pulleys.5. To accomodate the extra width caused by inserting the washers, you'll need to replace the 3 bolts in each block with 8mm bolts that are 90mm long. So you'll need 6 8mm x 90mm hex bolts to do this.6. Use silicone lubricant to lubricate the pulleys and their washers.7. Tie the end of the rope to the bottom of the upper block to get an 8:1 advantage instead of just 7:1.IMPORTANT NOTES:(1) If you get the model where there are 2 dimples on each sheave plate, you must orient the pulleys so the side with the smaller hub is facing the dimples.(2) Don't over-tighten the lock nut on the two pulley bolts, or you'll squeeze the pulleys between the sheave plates, causing unacceptable friction.That's about it :-)

I use the Heavy duty hoist for lifting stuff in our garage up & down from a shelf I built years ago. Works slow but great - well made. It suitedmy application ok. Fred B.

I found the item to be very easy to use and it worked seamlessly. It made the job of hoisting my summer tires and rims much easier to raise into the tire rack some 10 feet off the floor.
