Do I understand this correctly, that I need to buy a 1 1/4" steel bar to install this hoist to? If so, how long a bar do I need to buy?

Depends on where your beams you are going to use are. You need to span them. Used a piece of unistrut on mine rather than a bar.

Personal I chose a 1 inch riser...it works great, just remember to use a lock tight on the screws.

Thank you for your interest in our products. For the 3/16" size, the thread length is 3 1/2" and for the 1/8" size, the length is 3 1/8". The only restriction is our warning that these fittings are not to be used for lifting or hoisting purposes, but are intended for use in architectural railing systems. Customers do use these fittings in a variety of applications and properly swaged fittings can approach the breaking strength of the wire rope, but is dependent on many factors. To be assured a cable assembly will meet a certain working load, you would need to go to a rigging company to proof test the assembly. Thanks Eric 888-686-7245

You have several issues here. First, consider what is holding up the 2x4. I wouldn't put a point load of 400 lbs in the middle of a span of say, 8ft. I have mine supported by a 2x8. The bolt hole spacing on the hoist is about 3 1/2 inches, so the 2x8 is wide enough to cover the holes. I bought some longer bolts (2 1/2 i think), bored the hole pattern of the hoist through the 2x8, and bolted it without using the steel brackets and short bolts that came with the hoist. If you already have a 2x4 in place, you could do the short span of 2x8 like i did and then attach the 2x8 to the 2x4. That would accommodate the bolt pattern and add stiffness.

That's going to depend on the type of anchors you use to attach it to the wall. If it's a hollow wall, buy anchors that have a high weight rating. (it will be on the package) If you are screwing straight into a stable stud, use long screws. My bet is that you would need a truck to break the bar itself.

This ladder is good quality and comes with ALL hardware necessary to install. It is universal fit so it may need to be cut to length where the hinges install. You will need the layout of your RV's back wall to locate where the backing supports are to screw the stand-offs into etc. It comes with screws to mount to these backing supports. You will also have to drill the ladder to install the stand-offs at the proper locations. Disregard answer from Tony A. Sheet metal screws less than 1" long will not hold. I installed ladder in less than 3 hours and is very sturdy using proper hardware and mounting procedure. I weigh 230 pounds and use the ladder for roof access with no problem.

As you can see it comes w extenders , check the max height and how low it will be w the lowest extender. Plus you twist it up ward so if you use 1less or no extender I think you should be ok. For my place I need the complete pole before even locking it to ceiling.

What I have done in the past, was go to Home Depot, buy about 8 inches of chain. Run one end thru the Jack, the other end around the roll bar, take a pad lock, lock the ends together. But don't do what I did, which was to buy the chain, without making sure it would go thru the Jack! Back I went, lol

Not sure what size the bar is I mounted it on I think a 3/4 round bar. Im sure it will fit on a 1 inch bar. I would recommend u-bults the mine moves with a little pressure. U-bolts would grab better I think.

You need a 22mm Rail.I don't know if that 1 1/4'' is the same, I thought you had switched to the metric system meanwhile.The thing works nice, I have it with my Berreta 92F and it is really good and very adjustable by 4 screws (also for cat-play:-)

I don't know about the 4lb bar but the 36lb bar is 6 feet long! I would've never bought it if I knew that was the length. Way too long and awkward to use. I would've shipped it back but seemed more of a hassle.

All the installation kit is is a pair of plastic clamps that hold onto the railing. A wood bar attaches to the clamps with screws, and that piece of wood is how the fence attaches. As long as the metal railing is thick enough, there won't be a problem. And even if it's too thin, you could add a piece of rubber or padding to essentially make the railing thick enough to accept the minimum clamp allowance. It's an extremely simple design, and one you could easily makeshift with a 1"x2"x3' pine board and two clamps from the hardware store.

Yes, I'm using a 1 1/4 inch (1.25") Stud bar (google it, not the bar in SFO it's a chin up bar) you'll be fine, no regrets. I'm using it less and less over time but helps you get used to the reps

The bars are not in my home, they were for my Dad. I put them up by myself, I believe the screw size is listed in the description on the webpage. I could guess and say 2 inches, I definitely needed a power drill. It is advised to place them only in studded walls or doorways. Sorry, I can't help much on this one. I placed one on the outside of my Fathers entry door, and the other inside the door frame at the top of the steps. They are very secure and sturdy. I'm an occupational therapist and recommend safety equipment to patients, this is one I wouldn't hesitate to use. Obviously, if I put them on for my Dad!

You really don't want this thing coming down. 10 is a good number and won't weaken a 2x6 (or greater) ceiling joist. I threw out the lag bolts that they supplied and replaced them with 3 inch long 1/4" diameter lags. What they supply is useless for a garage with a finished ceiling. You have 5/8" sheetrock, then 3/4" firring strips(not good for holding this lift up at all). Considering that the 2 inch lags they supply have a head plus the bracket thickness, that leaves you with less than 5/8" of penetration into the stud. That is stupid dangerous in my opinion. I have 2 of these lifts installed, one is heavily loaded and has been up there for a month now. You really really really want to read the installation instructions from various customers before buying (I did). I also posted what I did.

Do not kow.My bar is 4 inches around. Maybe you might need a different model.
