We currently have our lift geared down 1:2, with a 1in diameter barrel. It lifts to its max height in 4.5 seconds. We don't need to go to our max height though, so that makes the lift time even sorter. We are also looking to do a larger barrel, which would decrease the lift time.
Placing the cables in the right way can increase your speed. Don't do one long cable. Use multiple, to lift each section at the same time.
