Hello all

Hello MPMO
In agreement with Jon about shingle lift; though my choice runs to a vertical material lift. The incline of shingle lift uses a lot of space. Rather like a forklift inside a pair of wheeled outriggers. Less balance and footing worries and you'll have something useful later on. Should you find one used, it could run less than a few weeks of renting. I bought one, $375 that elevates 500lbs from 4'' to 16'. There are sections that add to the column, 4' and 1' in length, that telescope via a cable winch to raise or lower. Plus it is transportable, break it down, fits through a doorway. Hard to beat. I'll use it first to drywall the overhead. Being way sturdier than average sheet lift; it will be my 'freight elevator' to a storage mezzanine later. Found on craigslist, many on ebay too. Two well known are Genie and Sumner.
