These work really well and can be driven with a drill. https://www.harborfreight.com/2000-lb-capacity-geared-winch-5798.html
Its noisy but works and it positive locking so it won’t fall down.
I’ve ordered one and will share my next project when it’s in the works. It’s much more weight so the worm gear will be a necessity and the drill-driven capability will be most welcome. Thank you for sharing the link!

Depending on your load and ceiling capacity, you can swap the stock cable for garage door cables to make them easier to work with. Those are supposed to be rated to 350lbs.
