| Aug 31, 2020 at 14:04 | comment | added | Colin Young | I have a commercial 2-rope system and find it handy to be able to easily adjust the levelness independently, and keeping it level during hoisting is not difficult at all, assuming that was one of your concerns. I also investigated building my own, but found it was more cost-effective to purchase an off-the-shelf system (as a bonus it has an integrated rope brake that automatically engages if the tension on the free end of the rope to raise/lower is released) | |
