This is my attempt to explain in detail and in a much clearer video on how I made this stairlift for my Mother-in-law who suffers from muscle distrophy. Stairlifts in the Philippines cost an arm and a leg, this prompted me to create one instead. Since uploading the video in Jan. 2010, I have been receiving emails from interested people asking me for a much brighter video. I apologize for taking this long. I couldn't access my old YT channel anymore. Anyway, here it is. I hope you get some ideas from this and make some modifications. This works for us, since I am semi retired and can conduct frequent and daily inspections on the unit and system, but if you ask me, it would be a lot safer to add a second cable. Thanks.

Thank you Moolus. Need to refinish it, though. It's been 6 years since I first installed it.

Hi Kevin h! I received your email. The wheels you are referring to are called casters. I think you can buy them in your local hardwares there? Casters with indents for angle irons. Just tell the store you are looking for casters that will ride on angle iron. I'm not sure what you mean by the 2 x 4's being run on the table saw? Please elaborate. Thanks.

pranav mahajan Hi Pranav! Yes. The winch itself has its own gearlock. Even if there is a power outtage, it wont free fall because the gears lock themselves going down. I tried pulling it, it doesn't budge. If you're planning to purchase a winch, try pulling the cable, if it turns, don't buy it. ask the retailer also just to be sure. All winches are suppose to have this safety feature. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be well.

TriniFirst Hi Trinni! I'm not an expert in this matter. I just did some researching before i applied it. Try visiting machinedesign.com, they explain how winches use worm gears and how they lock. Thanks for watching and commenting.
