Our local feed mill in my home town, Shelby, OH, had a hoist like that, only there were grapples that lifted the front wheels of a wagon or truck. The old mill was built around 1910 and the hoist ran on two big I-beams bolted to the ceiling joists. Much grain was hauled on barge box wagons then and so the wagon was unhitched from the tractor, then lifted. When it was let down someone had to grab the tongue and walk it down so it wouldn't hit the floor. If it was forgotten the wagon stood there on the tongue and back wheels. It was not an OSHA approved job to re-attach the grapples and pull the tongue away, but I never heard of any injuries. The old hoist met it demise about 1960 when local BTO made a wagon out of an old semi trailer. Must have held 300-400 bushels and it pulled the I-beams out of the ceiling.
