I need to pull a snow blower up a ramp for off season storage to a height of 4 - 5 feet. Does this make sense for the Torin?

I may have misunderstood you but pulling something up a ramp is more a job for a come- along than a block like this. This chain hoist is meant for vertical rather than horizontal lifting.

No a comealong or powerwinch would be better for that job. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is a fairly cheap method of doing so but you should never exceed 75% of the rated capacity.

As others have said it is not meant for horizontal pulling. You will find it will twist and bind easily. The chains will also tangle. I would also consider a comealong. It will be cheaper and much less awkward. For horizontal lifting, this is awesome.

I did not leave it outside in the winter and yes it has to be level to work right. enjoy

I would not as you would have the metal ramp to small and you would have the danger of misjudging if you were backing out over the uncovered 12 inch board.I have the 12 inch and I bought 1 ( 2 by 10 ft) piece of treated lumber from Home Depot and had them cut it in half with these 12 inch ramps its perfect.While backing out of the shed there is plenty of room without the fear of backing off the ramp.the extra width makes all the difference.and I saved by picking out the worst 2 BY 10 AND HD cut the price in half. Its still as sturdy and works perfect.Remember its not just 4 inches your gaining combined its 8 inches total. Much safer...But heavier of course I would not as you would have the metal ramp to small and you would have the danger of misjudging if you were backing out over the uncovered 12 inch board.I have the 12 inch and I bought 1 ( 2 by 10 ft) piece of treated lumber from Home Depot and had them cut it in half with these 12 inch ramps its perfect.While backing out of the shed there is plenty of room without the fear of backing off the ramp.the extra width makes all the difference.and I saved by picking out the worst 2 BY 10 AND HD cut the price in half.

NO. You can't get the trailer up high enough with this. you would have to add about 2 more inches by having a board or something else to drive up on first. then onto this. I had to jack the trailer up as I was near heat exhaustion and didn't think of the other idea until after I about killed myself trying to jack it up in 110 degrees. I even wrote a complaint about it.

I have an 18" Snow Joe snow thrower that I store in mine. I loosened the handle wing nuts so the handles could be folded down. I also store a 10 bag o salt and a few other misc winter items in here

Unfortunately, there is no setting to raise the snowthrower, and although you can lift it easily enough, to keep it at a particular height would be tiring after a short period. Though it is a nice little machine, It really is meant for asphalt driveways, and I believe other people who have reviewed this snow thrower have recommended against it for any type of loose stone driveways.

I purchased (6) 12"x12" pavers and created a little step up platform. Remove the bolts and can be moved/stored for winter.

I'm not much help as I am 5'1""! However it has been a great snow blower for me. This is my third season with it.

Hi Yes, ramp lays flat down.full length as carrier and locks into place with supplied pin. Approx 4 feet without me measuring it.I am very happy with it ,i carry heavy duty snow blower.It sits a little low for my vehicle,Honda C-RV with 2 inch adapter,.I stuck on some red reflectors on rear and orange on sides.i also just realized my Thule Rails from my new beetle can be adapted for a thule carrier,A bit redundant ,but may come in handy.

If you're referring to depth, I've used it on storms over two feet - it's easiest for fluffy snow, but the wheels make it manageable with heavier snow as well. If you mean how far back can it go, as far as you can reach.Notice there's an opening (8"?) which limits how far you can go at a time, but you just pull it back, snow slides down, and then repeat the process. Very easy.

The handle/arm is folded down once you open the box so all you need is to tighten both screws after you pull up the handle/arm. This snow blower works fine on snow 3-4 inches high and since this is electric it's very inconvenient when you snow blow at the same time maneuvering your extension cord. Better buy a gas snow blower. It has more power and saves you time. I bought this because i thought it's easy to operate but i ended up planning to buy a gas snow blower next winter season.

Mine is stored under 20' of snow right now, but I'm pretty confident that it's 1.5". I use the adapter rings on the base and table in order for the pole to fit properly.

It is easy to lift...not so easy to keep it at an even height. Pea stone drive way and ANY snowblower sounds like a very difficult way to stay happy. If the pebbles don't jam or wreck the snow blower they won't do car paint or windows any good... (It might be worth figuring out a way of putting a slider on the bottom of the blower to make sure it stays up a little. Otherwise...be careful.)

The peak is about 10 ft but the sides are just 6 ft. You can drive a vehicle inside but if it is for a winter storage, as long as there is not any snow to worry about, it could work. Frame and roof structure NOT strong enough to hold up under heavy snow load

I use it to haul a 40 ft ladder on my Tundra. It will adjust higher than I need it to.

The list states most medium and large 2 stage snow blowers. I have an older yardman 2 stage snow blower. The directions say it is best to mount it to the vertical supports, but on mine I had to mount it to the horizontal supports. The cab has a tremendous amount of adjustability built into it and it worked very well. I read several reviews about bolts coming loose, so after I had everything assembled and adjusted, I put Loctite on all the bolts and have not had any problems. Hope this helps.

From my research, the answer is NO. I looked on Husqvarna's Web site and the snow blower wasn't an option for this model. You may look for yourself at: http://www.husqvarna.com/us/products/garden-tractors/yth2042/#accessoriesHope this helps...
