Light Pulley System

What's up all, I have a thread going about a grow room I am about to start on very soon but just thought of something that I really need your help with.

I want a pulley system that will raise a section of lights at a time with one pull of the rope..... Does anyone have any plans for a system like this that I could install in my room?

Thanks for reading

simple pulley with a rope clamp = home depot


more complicated?

wow that is a phat pulley system. thats doing it large

each setup of 4x 1000w per pole sat over (2) 4x8 tables. 4 tables/8 lights per row, 6 rows total capacity, perpetual cycle harvesting weekly. the winch movers made life MUCH easier to deal with individual table/strain needs

Thanx eyecandi, for the idea. Was trying to figure out a way to raise 1800w of lights over a 3 x 6. Is it possible to get a more detailed pic of the hardware used in hanging actual hoods? Is that an 1 5/8" galvanized fence post?

i believe we used 3" or 3.5" fence tubing, max length we could get was 14' (I'm no longer at the facility to verify). the hardware used to attach the hoods to the pole was just fence clamps bolted onto the hoods' own eye hooks, nothing special really. we picked up the winches at Harbor Freight on sale for @ $80/each. the pulleys were attached to the pole using the same fence clamp/bolt setup, used 3 pulleys on the pole to even out weight distribution a little, but honestly don't think it was needed.
