We also have a crane which is a little costly to deploy but sure looks cool. Something else we use up to 3 stories is a sizzer truck, the whole box lifts up to the height, picked it up from a military auction, was a plane loading truck. Works well for OSHA </div><div>Jerry</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:9px;color:#575757">Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S™ III, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Dana Brandt <dana@ecotechenergy.com> </div><div>Date:05/26/2016 12:26 PM (GMT-10:00) </div><div>To: RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> </div><div>Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] getting PV modules up to the roof </div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Wrenches,<br><br></div>I'm curious if anyone has updates to this thread 3 years later.

There are various lifts on the market, you can hoist them with ropes manually, or walk them up a ladder (sling them over your back). I find that the majority of our competition in the Bay Area walks panels up the ladder for residential projects. What is your feeling about OSHA compliance of doing this?</span></p>
