They also cut the time of getting materials to a roof - so the job will be finished faster. They are especially valuable when working on a project by yourself and for locations unaccessible with heavy equipment. Our aluminum platform is lightweight and strong and will not rust. It connects to a ladder with U-bolts - without causing damage to a ladder you may want to use for other purposes. It is built with steel wheels to reduce friction for smooth and even travel up and down the ladder. It locks onto the rails like a roller coaster and will not come off. The platform is built at a 15 degree slant so that the materials will be level when the ladder is leaning against a building. The entire setup (with motor attached) weighs about 75 lbs. - making it easy for one man to setup and move. All the hardware for attaching the platform to the ladder is included. You only have to supply the electric motor and ladder. This hoist platform - with mounting hardware - is available for only $200.

No. ...in order for the hoist to safely *lock* on the rails and not come off with 200 - 500 lbs. over your head, there is no room for variation in ladder width - or thickness of the lip. Because no load can be perfectly balanced a lot of attention and testing of the design of spacers was necessary in order to prevent binding. If the load binds, an 880 lift can cause damage that could result in someting breaking and the load falling. Item #: 98169 Model: D1332-2 at Lowes. 1. This is NOT A TOY ! Please keep it away from children. It *looks* like something that is fun to play with but the power generated by a 880 lb. hoist motor will easily break bones. If someone puts their arm or leg between the rungs of the ladder - while someone else operates the controls -a serious injury is highly probable. Unlike gas motors the electric motor doesn't need cranking. The safety of this equipment is YOUR responsibility. I'm only selling a part of the kit, like the hardware store sells the nuts, bolts and ladder. 2. The top of the ladder should always be tied off to a secure point that would prevent it from falling backward or to the side. This is a safety code requirement at most construction sites. 3. The ladder should lean about 15 degrees against a secure surface. If the ladder is too vertical the weight of the material on the platform could cause it to lean back away from the building. If the base of the ladder is too far from the building the material will cause excessive friction against the railing and possibly jam the platform or cause the material to fall off. The platform is built at a 15 degree angle so when it is level with the ground the ladder is in the correct position. 4. The load being lifted needs to be balanced. An unbalanced load can spill or cause an unsecure ladder to fall. 5. The ladder, platform, hoist and cable should be inspected before and after each use and repaired before use if a problem is found. 6. Keep in mind that materials, like a roll of felt, will roll off if the platform is raised all the way to the top. Please be safe and use common sense and good judgement and watch for power lines. Test your setup with a light load before heavy duty operation. Note: Transporter(®) is a registered trademark of Tie Down Engineering. Be sure to check my store. I have at least a 20 boat hulls or boat motors listed. (this posting is the responsibility of the poster) |
