One of the many roof loading hoists i ve made.
Roofing hoist plans.
Compared to a poor soul lugging 70 pound bundles of roofing shingles up a ladder.
Needed to get 4 200 lbs of shingles onto my friend s roof and the nearest rental place with a power ladder was very far it was expensive and we lacked any way to transport it and an appropriate ladder.
Dec 31 2012 designed and built this shingle material tool lift to use when helping my dad roof his house to get around the worst part of roofing carrying shingles up.
Light weight and easy to assemble.
Load the large counter weight basket with cement blocks to support the two piece hand beam and offset the weight of the hoisted materials.
It took one hour to design and two to build.
Just put it on your werner extension ladder and install the motor with include.
For 30 of lumber and hardware i turned my electric hoist and some scrap wood into a lift.
I m sure they have saved lives and plenty of falls and injuries.
Building a ladder hoist start to finish.
And using one hand to grasp rungs and the other to steady the bundle on his shoulder then dismounting to the roof s slanted surface from the side of a ladder powered roof loading hoists are a dream.
Our construction hoists may also be referred to as material hoists construction elevators temporary elevators personnel hoists buck hoists man lifts material lifts and rack pinion hoists but they all serve the same purpose.
Hand powered hoist our two piece hand beam is an inexpensive and efficient means for transporting materials to the roof.
