Okay, so how about a steel I-beam that you could bolt an extension to when you wanted to hoist things up. As far as the "rolling" part is concerned, I was thinking of a trolley like overhead cranes use. I still think a door opening into the second floor is the only way to go, given the lack of room you have.
