   I might support the horizontal beam with Grade 100 chain and add a rope and   
   pulley to swivel it up out of the way.

   I've previously suggested a boat trailer winch for hoisting and forgot to   
   mention that they spin dangerously when lowering vertical loads if the   
   handle slips from your grip. With a rope you can at least use the tiedown   
   cleat as a friction drag.   
      
   The Vestil lift I ordered for Segway had a cable winch with a built-in   
   lowering brake which I haven't seen available separately.
