i've thought using the same technique that is used when people lift there boats out of water to store them under sheds that you see on lakes.

You might consider a set of four pullies, and a hand crank winch (that one would use to pull a boat up onto a trailer). I've seen a system were the owner used a pair of 2X4's with eye hooks threw them. He inserted them under the top to use as lifting points.

I saw an idea once a while back... It consisted of a boat trailer hand crank with 2 cables attached to it. those cables went to a 2x4 each, 2x4s were long enough to span the top. Next there were 2 each straps per 2x4 with flat type hooks on the ends that would slide under the top at each corner.

After that you are kinda on your own but I would suggest a better way of storing it when its off maybe set it on a set of saw horses and putting 2x4s under it then using the straps to lift it back up by the 2x4s...
