Hanging cap from the rack?

Has anyone removed a cap by using the rack (Prinsu or other) as a lift point?

For those times I may need to use the open box I'd like to be able to lift off the cap with a Wrangler-style hard-top hoist, leaving it suspended in the garage for a day while I do my thing.

 

Completely misunderstood the question. I'd look at the mounting points of the rack and maybe use some large fender washers to help distribute the weight. I think its dooable.

It looks like at least one inmate tried something like this already. Consensus seems to be you could get away with the lift but should add support ASAP.

I think this may be a better way if it just needs to be a quick swap for a day.

I've done it.

 

This is a much better way.

 

Worked perfectly. Even had enough length to the straps to lower the cap to my sawhorses.
