Instead of going to all that trouble, trying to adapt a forklift mast in your barn and go to all the trouble to try and power and control it, I would build a dumb waiter. Overhead door track works well to guide a home built trolley/platform with 4 door rollers to keep it in line. Power it with a HF 120V winch securely mounted above, so it raises and lowers the trolley. Far-Far less weight and design parameters to deal with. I have one in my house to bring firewood up to main floor from cellar. It easily lifts a 1/2 face cord of wood.
You can easily build the trolley to the size that you desire and buy an appropriate winch to handle max weight you may want to lift. My e-mail is open in lower RH corner.--------------Loren
