Could a 60 year old, 120 pound woman use it to lift approx. 300 pounds abot 4 ft off the ground?

I have not used it yet. I guess it depends how strong the woman is. Once the item is off the ground you need to be able to hold the weight too.

You get an 8 to 1 mechanical advantage with this pulley. So, lifting 300 pounds will require 300/8 = 37.5 pounds of pulling force. To raise 4 ft, you will have to pull 32 ft of rope through the pulleys.

Maybe? Obviously it would depend on the woman's fitness level and upper body strength and I would think this is probably a question better suited to her doctor, but that being said, I regularly hoist a 300+ pound fiberglass cap off the bed of my truck. I would definitely suggest to use gloves for grip as well as possibly tying knots or loops every 6"-12" of the section of rope you will be handling because the poly rope is a bit slippery.

William, I'm 56, but admittedly I primarily attached the ends of this to my tractor to lift a MUCH heavier load - a 16 foot x 18" diameter cedar trunk for my daughter swing "pole"! I can's say for sure you'd be able to, but I believe it is a 7:1 ratio on this which should mean that you are actually pulling / lifting 300#/7, or a little over 40#. Hope this helps!

Depends upon the "puller" and the "pulled". This rig has a slick poly line to pull, the puller should be wearing a good pair of stout leather gloves to wrap around the line. This rig, a two fold purchase could easily support a 300 pound load. However, due to the small slick poly hoisting line the load could easily slip resulting in damage to the load. Anyone hoisting a live person or hoisting loads with people working under the load should not use this rig.

Yes, you could...if you have normal strength. The blocks will pull apart almost 8 feet, so the lifting range should be close to 8 feet. If you pick something up 1 foot, you can pick it up 4 feet. The pull is the same over the whole distance.

This is a very sturdy machine. I weigh 170 and have no issues. I think 300 would not be beyond it's capacity. I use this for bench curl, rowing, and leg curl only - I don't use it for leg extension.

Can be operated by one person lifting another. The person being lifted would not be able to operate it.

Yes it can. I weigh 200 and I use it for box squats with 200#+ worth of weight.

I would say it is really depends on your weight. I think it should be good for 120lbs or lighter, but it is indeed a little bit light for heavy people---- like me. My daughter is just 7, she is loving it. :)

I'm 225 and lifted basic objects while on the stool. It is very sturdy with no side wiggle. I think you would be fine!

Yes, we used the lift for a short period, but were very happy with its performance. Follow safety precautions and you should be fine.

I don't think it would work on anyone under 100 lbs or less than 4 feet tall

Yes you can but be aware that the weight limit for the weight rest is 150 pounds

This is an excellent product that I'm really happy to have. It might support a heavier person. I'm a little over 200, I'll bet it will work. You might want to call the company or just try it.

I weigh 200 lbs and have never tried to use it standing up. However, the pedal cranks and pedals are very sturdy and well made. I think that a woman who weighs 120 lbs or less would have no problem standing and pedaling. I would recommend you check with Schwinn to verify its load limit.

I loaned mine to my elderly neighbor and she could not lift it. I really like it for myself because you canset the resistance. I believe you would have difficulty with any unit that is too light to hold its place on the flooring. I believe your mother would NOT be able to move the unit

i believe the information says there is a 300 pound weight limit. i do not know for sure. my mother is barely 100 pounds.

I bought it for my 10 year old granddaughter so I didn't worry about weight, but I would guess it would support someone up to 150 lbs.

I believe it would, as when testing it, I pushed down with my hands and it worked...I'm sure I wasn't pressing even 100 lbs. My mother is 135 lb and it works great.

Very sturdy. I was surprised by how well it is made. I'm not sure about the weight limit. I'm 120 and it works but it also works for my mom that is 180.

Yes, but if this adult weighs more than 300 lbs, I think there could be problems over long term use.
