So the revised calculations, once the errors were fixed, came out to 19 oz/in of torque needed. Enough to lift the heaviest object at only 4.8V, and with plenty to spare.
Stall Torque (4.8V): 44 oz/in. (3.2kg.cm, 3.66lb/in) VS 19 oz/in
At this rate we could basically lift them 2 at a time. More on the redonkulousness of this number: with two of them we could spin a half gallon milk jug around.

Also, Gearboxes are in. Calculations for those to come later today....or tomorrow. Going to figure out the minimum amount of power we need to move our vehicle, given liberal assumptions of it's weight (4 lbs). Final sketches being drawn up tomorrow. Pretty confident in our design.
