<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I'm still using the same mod
lift for the past 6-8 years, with very minor modifications. I used the
design that was in HomePower years ago. I switched out strut for pieces
of our module rack/rail to make it lighter. <br>
Keep in mind that specific design only works with a fiberglass ladder
with a particular design top on it. We have an office in a neighbor
city that built one a bit different that works on top of a typical
aluminum ladder.<br><br>
From hoist set-up, mods up, to packed up, i'd challenge anyone with one
of the mechanical module lifts to keep up on a two story roof
install. One guy can have ours set up in under 5min and you can
have mods on the roof in under a minute each, round trip (walking from
the van/trailer to the lift with a module, hoisting it, lowering the lift
and back to get another module). Its safe, fast and KISS.<br><br>
No doubt that one of the mechanical ones would be nice for much larger
jobs. And i like that some have articulating sections that can flatten
out to run parallel with some roofs. But i've seen how much room they
take up. You need an empty van or trailer just to move the pieces
themselves.<br><br>
