| I have no idea what materials you want to use a hoist for.
Plywood, 2x4's, 2x10's, ect can be handed up to the second story easily.
You will spend more time trying to lift 2x4's up to the second floor than it
is worth.
The only problem is getting trusses up on top of the second story walls.
I have left out an end wall so they could be handed up from the ground to
the second floor and then to the top of the second floor walls.
After all the trusses are up, you build and stand up the last wall.
Or maybe onto the garage roof and then onto the second floor walls.
Whichever way works the best.

"I'm going to be building a house and was wondering if anyone is aware of
any low cost hoists or some sort of rig like that for getting materials up
to a second story easily. This might be as simple as some kind of a wench
with motor and rigging. It does have to support much more than a couple of
hundred pounds. I'm obviously not needing anything like a crane.
