Default I second the idea of hanging a beam in "the shed"

I have my carrier in a small garage and have backed under a suspended beam to lift engines and other heavy things out of my truck, then placed them into the carrier. It can be done very cheap and have the same effect as a big engine hoist. I also have a "shop crane" or "hydraulic lift" on a dolly that moves around. I find it takes up a lot of room and since I know where my project is sitting when it is in the garage I can position the beam to be in place for it. Simple wood beams bolted to run along the wall so it can slide back and forth, a rudimentary "gantry style" if you will. Works great for me and cost me about $100.
