Questions & Answers
It had better reviews (not just on Amazon), and I've bought cheap things before, and you get what you pay for. Things that are inexpensive. We used it to hang ten-foot sheets from a ten-foot ceiling, and it worked great. The only drawback was that when raising the wheel, the cable would slip over a weld on the wheel spindle. It scared me the first couple of times until I realized what was going on, but it never failed me. I was satisfied with my decision in general.
Yes, but only in a horizontal sense. It's possible to hang it vertically on a vault, but it's not recommended. The lift will only tilt up to 12 degrees.
That's correct.
In either position, it isn't completely secure. For both of them, gravity keeps them in place.
Selected User Reviews For PANELLIFT 125 Drywall Lifter
This one was a toss-up between it and some of the Amazon bargains. I decided to purchase this lift and am very pleased with it. It is simple to put together and operate. I put up drywall in my garage attic and used it to lift OSB up there. This device is extremely well-made and simple to operate. br>br>I'll mention one point because I had to learn the hard way. Otherwise, the cable will jump off the pulleys if tension is not maintained. You'll be fine if you don't lower it all the way down so there's always some tension on it, and double-check it after the first time you put it together or after you reassemble it.
This lift has saved my life on numerous occasions. It's the best-built, and it's well worth the extra money over taking the harbor freight route. The adjustable arms and swivel top make it almost effortless to position 12ft sheets where you want them. This is how you should proceed. One disadvantage was that my lift lacked a cranking handle on the steering wheel. I'm not sure if this is an aftermarket item or if mine went missing. In any case, it's a fantastic game.
I bought a cheaper one first, then the Panellift. It's a great tool for hanging drywall, installing cabinets, and heavy light fixtures, among other things. br>I bought a cheaper one first, then the Panellift. The Panellift was well worth the extra investment. Better quality, as well as being easier to transport and lift.
This lift is well-built and sturdy. designed. It takes less than a minute to assemble or disassemble without the use of any tools. This unit is far superior to the less expensive models, which can be difficult, if not dangerous, to operate. Both the brake and the winch are in excellent working order. The top crossbar is spring-loaded to allow for installation where the floor and ceiling aren't perfectly parallel (a feature that isn't found on the less expensive units). br>br>Works just as well as previous units I've rented.
Excellent features that are superior to those offered by competitors at a low cost. This was the best option for me because I am drywalling my own DIY home. It has characteristics that are similar to those found in the United States. I previously used a low-cost import version from a discount tool store, which was lighter weight and less durable. For the DIYer who can't justify spending twice as much or more on a daily-use item, I recommend this. Use a model that is professional.
My husband and I constructed our home from the ground up. It took approximately ten months of hard work. We were able to do our own sheetrock work with the help of this device. When compared to hiring someone, we saved a lot of money. A large front porch was recently added. Now I'm going to use it to raise plywood and sheet metal so that I can install the porch roof. For DIY projects, this book comes highly recommended.
I've used a lot of lifts, and this one is right up there with the best. There are much more expensive ones out there, but I only hang 500 sheets a year, so this is ideal. It's also simple to set up and take down. It meets my expectations. The only flaw is that the extending arms could hold it up tighter, but that is a flaw in every lift I use or have used.
Rather than returning the tool, I had a local muffler shop weld one of the parts back into place, which cost me an extra $50. After I got it welded, it worked perfectly. I'll never do overhead sheet roc without using one of the panel lifts again. . . never.
