What, you can't get a Super Trouper up to the grid by yourself? You're a strong guy.

I might try some sort of bucket and pulley system provided that it does not look ugly. We have a catwalk directly above our sound booth and we are always exchanging equipment from up there.

I'd say either rent the lift as needed, or install a chain pulley or better. If the latter, get the engineering right by bringing in a professional to approve the setup points-and be sure to WAY overspec it. From past experience, if you have it it will be used for things you've never imagined.

We used to move Cyberlights with the rope and pulley.
