Wheel hoist now installed

Where do you hoist them to though? Is this to hold them at the right height while you refit them?
No, I have stored them on a shelf in my other garage, so I use the hoist to get them from the top to the bottom as those X5 wheels weigh a ton and lifting them is not a healthy occupation ...
I lift them up, use the stand in the picture to get to that level myself and just push them on the shelf from there.
I used to use a step ladder and first of all, the thing almost collapses under you and secondly, lifting the wheels from the ground on top of your shoulders and then climb up stairs to flip them on the shelf is difficult.

That looks like it should be on the front of the X5, not holding its wheels!
