   Is it possible to buy small freestanding cranes? The problem I am trying to solve is that my house has a lot of storage space on the (flat) roof but I don't want to keep carrying my bikes up through the house. I am looking for basically a shop crane to hoist my bikes up the side but the problem is that all of the ones I see (shop cranes and engine hoists) have a long base in front that will butt up against the wall around my roof.

   Looking for suggestions, if anyone has any.

     @amy@kokoro.garden like a jib crane they used to have on barns?

     @amy@kokoro.garden apparently the barn ones are called hoists. im confused if you want to lift it on top of your roof or if there's an attic under the roof, but i think most people just use those garage bike lifts that just lift them overhead and give you back a ton of space in a garage, but you probably know about those already

     @amy@kokoro.garden you can put them in a lot of places if you have the overhead height and can screw into a rafter or smth https://i0.wp.com/www.kreatinghomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/BikePulley.jpg?resize=665%2C549
