A portable hoist assembly is mounted on a scissor lift. The hoist includes an elongate cable wound on a shaft. The cable has proximate and distal ends. A pulley is mounted on the cable intermediate the proximate and distal ends. In use, the pulley is secured to the ceiling of a building structure.

An embodiment of a method of moving a motor within an enclosure of an air handler of a climate control system includes (a) suspending the motor from a first lifting support and a second lifting support via lifting line, the first lifting support being laterally spaced from the second lifting support in the enclosure. In addition, the method includes (b) shortening the lifting line extending between the motor and the second lifting support. Further, the method includes (c) lengthening the lifting line extending between the motor and the first lifting support. Still further, the method includes (d) moving the motor laterally within the enclosure as a result of (b) and (c).
