I could lift 100kg, 120 might be pushing my spinal tissue luck. My garage is starting to fall down so i can't use my pulley to get an engine i bought out of my company car and i can't hide it from my boss forever :P.

If i whip everything off so its just the bottom/top end i should be ok at 100kgs.
