Chris, rather than the Hoyer, what about a block and tackle chain hoist, easily found at any Harbor Freight, or Home Depot, or Lowes.
Okay, now I see the problem with my suggestion.... getting the block and tackle up to the garage rafters.... which is too heavy to lift... with limitations.
Dang it 🤕

You are on the same track. The roof is 2x4 trusses, so can't bear any additional weight without reinforcement. Thought of the HF gantry, but with my 8 foot ceiling I'd have to give it a haircut. I have a 30 year old HF engine hoist out in a shed, but that's kind of overkill. I have a huge amount of medical type mobility items that I tried to donate, but because of covid, nobody wanted it. They took the bed and hoyer back though. My IV stand is a mobile garage light now though!
