Material Lift

Material lifts, also known as duct lifts or contractor lifts, are compact, non-motorized units designed for vertical lifting of heavy materials in construction and maintenance. Unlike aerial lifts for personnel, these units utilize a manual winch system to raise forks or platforms, making them ideal for installing HVAC equipment, steel beams, and overhead piping. Most models are engineered with a telescoping aluminum mast and a folding base, allowing them to pass through standard doorways and be loaded into a pickup truck by a single person. Available heights range from compact 4-foot units for low-level installs to heavy-duty 24-foot models that support up to 650 lbs at full elevation.
