Your welcome Salt it just so happens I was doing this yesterday and brushing up and this stuff.

I have to do everything by myself and have to be careful not to get hurt.

One thing you can do to greatly increase the strength of the bent wire type eye bolts is to weld the eye together at the gap.

I am so used to industrial type stuff I cannot believe how cheaply made the stuff it at some of the stores.
As for lifting my 1000 pound load I cant use a forklift in my garage.

I have looked up some stuff for you.
Here is the chain rated at 545 pounds.
