So let me get this straight. The Driver is not only the motor, but also the counterweight? I wonder how well this was thought through. It's probably OK for light loads, just DON'T STAND UP.

Reminds me of a Genie Material lift :

But Genie uses outriggers with wheels to counterweight as opposed to a human. Same concept with the winch.
You can usually rent them for around $15 a day, and they come in handy to lift heavy items inside buildings or homes.
