Been searching the web and can't seem to find any plans to build a storage lift.If anybody out there has plans or one I can take some measurements off of that would be great.I'm not expecting an epic pow year(bite my tongue) so gonna need a project to do in the garage,that way I have an excuse to hang out with the guys and drink beer.(I already have downloaded plans for just a snowmobile lift,I'm looking for the stacker type.thanks for any help.:beer:

i have been debating on having one built as well
saw these on kijji there was a better pic that showed the top dropped down like a ramp and there is a hand winch to lift it up


Alpine lift | snowmobiles parts, trailers, accessories | Calgary | Kijiji



i was thinking of building something like this before and using my sled deck ramp to load to the top but i think it would be kinda sketchy to load a quad or sled to the top
and how do you keep the whole rack from moving as i don't know if the wheel brakes would hold it back

My buddy built two a while back. Sold them. We loaded with deck ramp and just put rack up against a wall to load. only bad part is height when loading them this way.

I would build it so that the top of the rack was level with my sled deck, back up to it, and just back the sled off onto the rack. the Lower one you can always use your shop dollies and some muscles to maneuver it underneath. Would make it super simple to load it back onto the truck when you were ready then too.

That last one in red primer is what I was thinking about,I would love to get some measurements of that one.But I might have to just design it myself shouldnt be that hard.Thinking 110volt electric winch instead of hand crank just because.

I build this using the same shelving that they have at Costco, it all come apart so in the winter time it's not in the way also I got caster wheels so I can move it where ever I want. I use my sled deck ramp to put the top one.... never got a chance to rig up the winch yet... Also a lot cheeper that buying those that are previously posted. IMG_0148.jpg
