Need winch ideas for my handicapped accessible cab

<< < (4/7) > >>

beek:
If you still want to pull up the coin door panel check out these 220lb hoists.

Still kinda big but it looks like you could make it bottom out so it doesn't rip the door off.  Nice control pendent too.

Crazy Cooter:
Why not just make it like a 2" deep "reverse drawer"?

GameOver:
Here's a low tech, low cost solution!  Just a manual winch/pulley.  A piece of string you could pull thru a tiny hole in your cab to raise/lower the door.

AlanS17:
I realize it's not to scale, but notice the knee and hand position in that picture. Even with the bottom swinging away, the control panel's vertical size is going to be an issue. By itself it might be ok, but it's going to be a tight fit if that control panel doesn't come away from the rest of the cabinet.
