Panel Lift?

SPIKER · Jan 2, 2010

HF has them on sale right now for 199, which is 100 off regular price...
Not sure of the lift height, but know they have an extension for them (or used to)

Thanks guys...The NT version is what I need, but $430 is a little heavy...May do it if I can't find another one..I guess the labor's free though.

I'm putting plywood on the ceiling of a 30x48x12' building...So don't want to use my mellon to hold the sheets up.

Can't find one on HF...Do they call it something other than a panel lift?

one of the guys has neet pics of a pannel lift he rigged to his FEL to install tin roof pannels as celing in his barn/shop.

just add 2x4 to the bucket to achive the necessary height.

You mean this one?

I did my garage ceiling about a month ago. I rented a lift at Sunbelt Rentals. (They used to be Taylor Rental) They had 2 lifts. one went to 12' and the other 16'. I rented the 16' on a Friday afternoon and returned it Monday morning for about $38.

Hubby just bought one from NT, probably the same one the other guy bought around $330 I think. He and a helper just put up a ceiling in our garage last week, I will ask if it has an extension or if it goes up that high. He used to do the 2X4 thing also but that's a lot of work. We are preparing to build another garage and he thought this would be real handy and he said he could pay for it over a few days rental.

I built one about 5 feet tall out of a pallet and some 2x2s.
I lift it with the bucket forks on my BX23.
I used it to install a 10' high ceiling in a 22 x 12 stall in one of my pole buildings.
