Default New lowering/lifting Device

Hi All,
Well I'm about to make a new lowering/lifting device, Hopefully on the cheap..but not on quality, So I thought I would raise a few pionts in the way I make this. So on the brake side of the device a bigger radius is better???also I'm thinking of incorporating a boat winch in as well, either mounted below the brake, or taxing the mechinism and incorporating into the brake drum some how??any suggestions?.. and by the way i'm not trying to reinvent the wheel,just a cheaper device,with materials at hand.Any Ideas?

brake pipe dia: 130mm

Winch : hand cranking 2000lbs

Mounting plate:Flat plate??large section of channel??

This is what I have so far.
