I had a 13’ GNU version over the 4 oven AGA. It was so heavy to pull it up when full that I converted it with an electric winch...
Getting micro switches to ensure it switched off was the most challenging as the management at the time wasn’t the most electrically or mechanically minded or sympathetic.
That's the good bit about having a smaller pulley, you can still use it for the lighter stuff and put the heavier items in the tumble drier. The only maintenance required is the occasional pulley rope replacement.
Swmbo is also neither electrically or mechanically minded or sympathetic either, thankfully there's less to break on the old fashioned system.
