chain hoist for shop

[farmer56]

farmer56 here , question i am adding a third stall to my garage , only 16'x24' that size gives the existing site a cohesive look - curb appeal for resale !!!!!? Here is my question i installed a 3 1/2"x 11 7/8 laminated beam in the rafters , i welded up 4 u-shaped brackets with 3/4" grade 8 bolts protruding out the bottom that i am screwing on eye nuts , my idea of sky hooks . I plan on getting some form of chain hoist to lift stuff , bad back- cant find help in a timely matter - you know the drill ,,,,,, the beam will not flex at a ton  maybe more , so who makes a manual or power hoist  in the 1 ton to 2 ton range  that you guys like , will not be used often . A chain driven doesn't scare me, the local boys say get the power winch from a four wheeler. any thoughts on brands or type
