I know the title suggests that this is an Off Topic post, but let me explain.
When we moved into New House, we didn't have a place to store a lot of Big Green Egg items until we could get our New Coop built. We didn't have room in the house and really needed the space in the garage, the attic was the only place we could store it. But ..... well, I'll let the video tell how a solution came about.
You might get a kick out of it. Or maybe even some ideas.
It explains everything.

I like it! My own concern is the harbor freight winch. Would like to see it have some type of fail safe in the event the motor gives out or breaks. (That’s the way I think as a lawyer) but otherwise, you might seriously be on to something here for your community. Don’t be surprised if all your neighbors want one

This is super cool. You should join the garagejournal and add this video. Again, super cool.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Neat idea.
Q: When you cut the attic joists to create the opening in the garage ceiling, did you tie those back into the adjacent joists? It was hard to see in the video, but it looked like you might not have.
