No accessible rafter, convenient or otherwise. Clearspan roof 5’5 metres high. Not gonna buy a block & tackle just for this one off job. Might be able to use an old ‘comealong’ I’ve got though I think TD’s suggestion of an A frame would be required if doing it myself........ unless....... the old shed has accessible rafters but very limited space around the vehicle. Will have to suss out if it’s do-able there.
My winch comes off by lifting it up I dare say yours would to
But being original 4.2 the radiator may be in a different position
Surely your new shed is a portal frame? Have you lined the roof or something? My old shed was a 20m x 12m with 3.9m wall height. Was awesome! Yes it was a long way up hence leaving the sling for future use. How do you not have a rafter supporting your roof purlins holding the roof sheets?
I use my sling and block for a few different tasks over the years. The Triumph head stem hung from it for about a year. I used it to lift out the motor of my ride on. I lifted a 308 out of a commodore with it too. I certainly used it to lift the front bar and winch off my GQ and used it to refit when I was ready too. Easy task done alone with that setup mate.
Given your on the land I'm stunned you don't already own a block and tackle or see a future need to be honest. Was bloody handy in my shed for sure and they are cheap as chips to buy.
I s'pose portal frame is probably the correct term? Wall height is 3.8mm but can’t get the car close to a wall. The main ‘beams’ across the roof are all c section & ‘engineered’ to do their job & little more. Not sure I’d want to be hanging much off them even if I could get up there to put up a sling. Have since looked at price of block & tackle & have been surprised at how cheap they are, I was thinking they’d be a few hundred bucks. Would certainly be a lot lighter to use the my old cast come along.

Yeah I'd have no hesitation putting a sling around that C channel rafter mid span. No probs mate. The down force wind rating alone would far exceed anything your going to hang off there bud.
You can get a plate that bolts in at the ridge line with a big hole as s lifting point. Those brackets at the top of each column give it a heap of strength. Who built the shed? Looks like s JH Stephens shed.
Nah, it’s a Ranbuild shed.
