Does anyone have the dimensions of the distance between the two side rails that hold the platform? And also the dimension of the location from front to back of the locations for the platform? Thanks.

If I understand your question correctly you essentially want the distance between each of the eye bolts on top of the platform. (which transfers directly to the same distance between the hooks connected to the angle iron that is secured to the ceiling). Also the platform itself measures 75" x 48" as mentioned in the original post.

Hopefully this picture answers your question. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask about this build

Exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks alot for the help. I plan on putting a hoist and platform together over the next couple of weeks. I haven't decided on exactly what the platform will look like. I'll work that out in the next week or so. I do want it to hold the two freedom tops and the softop during the winter. Thanks again for your help!

No problem. I corrected the measurements in the above picture as they were off a bit ...
