Clothes dryer attached to ceiling

F · 2007-02-26T20:02:30+00:00

When I were a lad (lived in shoe box, no lid; dad worked 25 hour day etc etc...) we had a clothes dryer attached to the kitchen ceiling with a rope and pulley to raise and lower it.I'm thinking of installing one of these in the garage to increase the indoor drying space but haven't a clue if/where they might be sold nowadays.Anyone?TIA.

I don't recall it ever failing under load.

I can't recall how it was loaded. I do remember there was a ratchet mechanism so it could be extended to hang lower to the ground and then be tightened up.

Something very similar here, and with the stoves it is something I would not like to be without. (I used to hang things to dry in the utility room but the nesting swallows in the beams above produced a steady trickle of bird s*it that did not do much for the cleanliness of things.)
