I have not tried that. What is the ceiling height in the shop? What is the nature of the ceiling structure? I ask because you don't need anything super-duper special. I have an eight-foot ceiling and just flimsy 2x4 joists (is that what they are called?) going across my ceiling. I ran a six-foot 4x4 across four of the joists and mounted my chainfall to that. Works great. Got pictures if you want them.
