Roofing Hoist Plans

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.

Roofing hoist plans.

Compared to a poor soul lugging 70 pound bundles of roofing shingles up a ladder. One of the many roof loading hoists i ve made. 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. Building a ladder hoist start to finish.

Roofing hoist demo i m now building the platforms for 300 including shipping. Load the large counter weight basket with cement blocks to support the two piece hand beam and offset the weight of the hoisted materials. Light weight and easy to assemble. It took one hour to design and two to build.

Transporting personnel and material vertically in a safe and speedy manner. Hand powered hoist our two piece hand beam is an inexpensive and efficient means for transporting materials to the roof. 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. 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.
