On a winch? Thats an intriguing idea.

How many scissors are there in your lift? On the real ones Ive seen they
often have a hydraulic cylinder going from the bottom scissor to the top one,
you gain some mechanical adveantage doing it that way, but it may be
difficult to emulate in LEGO.

Update: I ended up using string and it worked beautifully! Well, it has weight
distribution issues (one side goes up before the other) but Ill work on that
later...
