Chain blocks. I've always had one in the garage - but it was a big, heavy old thing and not on a trolly. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that you can now buy a (Chinese, of course) 1/2-ton chain block and geared-trolly combination for £106 (probably less if you search more deeply). As I have a cross beam, an upgrade was decided upon. The old block went on Facebook Market Place for £20 and sold immediately, and the new unit - adjusted with spacers to fit the beam, installed the same day. If just a chain block you fancy - how can they be cheaper than this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1Ton-Chain-Ho...ondition=3
