[How do I?] Lift Heavy Items Onto Lathe.

bobshobby said:
Owing to an old back injury I find it difficult to lift heavy items onto my lathe. Lifting the 3 jaw chuck is very difficult, and I can't lift the 4 jaw at all, likewise the steady rest is out of the question.

Has anyone made or tried to make a lifting device that fits on the lathe, say in place of tool post holder. something that could lift say 100kg max probably mostly only 30-50kg, would be fine.

Returned home after nearly a month O'seas, great holiday, but now it's time to start making stuff on my new lathe. Pleased to see that my location flag has returned to Australia, for those who have taken notice the flag changes as you move around which at first is quite confusing, but I guess you can't trick the internet.
