Here's a product I've been working on for longer than I care to remember, some /most will know my back is buggered
and I thought What would happen I had a flat out in the Simpson desert, How would I get the tyre/rim down off my roof rack let alone put it back up.
Its a long way to any hospital and driving out if you "did your back" would be very painfull,
Hopefully this will solve all problems, Bolted it to my home made roof rack today to trial it and it worked a treat.
It easily lifted my spare up onto the roof rack. very happy with that, so afew more tweaks here and there and it'll be go to go.
I'll be talking to the laser cutter to incorperate a weak point so a rim/tyre combo or 50kg is the max it will lift.
ATM total weight is 15KG but I think I can get it down to just over 10kg with ease.
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
yes it will have a SWL of 50kg max,, it uses an ATV winch motor 12v it was very easy to over engineer using only rated fittings
When i have the final design I'll get it tested, From memory they will lift 50kg and hold it for 4 hours or so
if it hasnt sagged at all it passes but a little way off yet, RRP will be around $750,
I will be using 6mm Dyneema instead of 3mm and the 12v ATV motor is rated at 1500KG so we'll see what the NATA ppl say

Will be interested on front recovery points for my 02 patrol with Nissan steel bar soon, did read through the threads the other day but cant remember if I needed to have captive nuts to bolt two recovery points on the front and remove bar which sounds like a bit of effort to install?, currently has hook on drivers side.

you should have captive nuts on left side same as right under hook
you will need to make the holes a tad bigger unless john has already fixed that problem

Go into my user profile mate. I put a link in there to a write up on the how too's on these plates. Well on the plate that fitted mine.

Could you possibly use the cars winch? Perhaps from a roller on the front bar and front of roof rack over the car and a boom off the back?
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
