Status: offline 		my Goddess has a new suspension rack and i am looking for some type of system that would help Her hoist me up, especially upside down.  i have thought about using those ratchet tie downs or the two pulley systems to help Her raise me off the floor.  Anybody have any ideas or suggestions.

Status: offline 		There are a number of rope clamps and pulley systems or just plain carabiners and knots used in rock climbing to haul up heavy loads. Researching "big wall hauling" would get you useful information. A clamping mechanism that can also be released under load and used to lower the sub in a controlled manner could be useful to you: http://www.mountaingear.com/pages/product/product.asp/imanf/Trango/idesc/Cinch+Belay+Device/Store/MG/item/114056/N/1027
But make sure to do your research, so that you have a system that you can get out of quickly.

Status: offline 		Climbing/rigging hardware is a good bet when doing a suspension.  The hardware is all load rated and pretty simple to use.  I use double sheave blocks to build compound pulley systems for easier lifting of heavier loads.  I also use a special jam cleat to lock the line.  I have also used figure 8 descenders to control decent.  All of this equipment is available at good climbing stores.  What is more important than the equipment however is the skill in setting it up safely.  Be sure you seek qualified help in how to safely use things.  A fall from even a short height can put you in the emergency room and that isn't a good ending to a suspension scene.

One over the rack and a turning pulley would do the trick quite nicely. The winch comes with a remote control and is power up and down and has an elect brake when turned off.

110 vac elec winch, is what i have, i have installed it inside the ceilling rafter, and reinforced the rafters with 2x4, i had a 4 foot steel bar 2" square tube made for this purpose, we use it for suspension only, it comes with a remote, for easy lifting, its a very efficient way for suspension play

Status: offline 		At first i was using a boat winch, cost's around 20-30 bucks at walmart. (The winch that goes on a boat trailer to pull the boat in). I mounted that to side of the bonadage frame using 3 inch U bolts. And ran 1/2 inch nylon rope on it through a pully mounted to the top center of the frame. on the other end i had a piece of 3/4 black iron pipe (3 feet long) with eye bolts on the end. This was to attack my ankles to for upside down suspension.

After a year of that, i upgraded and bought a 120 volt, 880 pound electric winch, on my main page there is a link to my playroom pics which show the electric winch i mounted . Forgot to add the electric winch as on sale at the time at harbor freight for 100 bucks. they usualy float at around that price year round , you just have to catch them when it is on special

Status: offline 		Pulleys, tackles, whiches etc. can be handy for hogtied.com style supsenions, but come with the disadvantage of unpredictable forces on the body. For most if not all Japanese style suspension - including upside-down ones - you don't need any other hardware than a solid hardpoint.
