I installed my Harken hoist yesterday. I'm sometimes inpatient with things that can tangle, straps and ropes, but I managed it and it is a pretty slick system. My two door roof is hanging from the garage ceiling now!
I noticed that using the straps on the roof is a bit of a pain to do alone and I think it would be a whole lot easier to use hooks like the one here. I'm thinking of 4 of these, one for each rope and hoist it with one of these in roughly the 4 corners of the roof. The bottom of the roof looks like something like this would work well. At 80 lbs or so, there would be about 20 lbs on each hook and at each of the 4 hoist points of the roof.
Just wondering, is there a big reason not to do this?
