M548's
You don't happen to have the link for that, I would love to see it. A buddy of mine has one i would kill for, barely any hours on it. Here's my son getting a ride.
Here's some that will hold 250 pounds. Maybe a 1x6 under the front and one under the back with the wires attached.http://www.garagestoragepro.com/Garage_Storage_System_with_Heavy_Lift___250_lbsw3.html
How about a pully system hanging from the cieling of the garage like the bike hoists. Heck two of these may work.http://m.sears.com/keyword.do?keyword=bike%20storage%20pulley%20hoist&search=bike%20storage%20pulley%20hoist
Mtvr ladder
Heres what I did with an mtvr ladder. Similar to wsucougarex with a little tweaking.

You need a set of compressor wrenches. Cc surpluss has them, I've seen people use two pipe wrenches. Loosen the bolts on the front of the pulley first.
As long as these trucks sit the solenoid is probably covered in corrosion. I've never done it but maybe the can be cleaned or a starter repair shop can remedy the issue.
