We are removing and replacing a retaining wall out of a nursing home
and the maintenance bloke was chucking out a couple of hospital beds.
Rip the springs out, 3 pieces of 50 x 25 and some ply and we have a couple of bike lifts

I'm pretty sure some have a weight rating. Might be an idea to check that out before loading it up too much. I'd be pretty shyte to have a leg give out and drop your bike onto you.

How do they raise and lower something a dedicated battery drill could cope with ??

It's piss easy to wind up by hand with two blokes standing on it. You could put a garage door motor on it but for a standard road bike it's not really necessary.

Would like to get my hands on one, sans patient, fucking brilliant.
