Material Lifts and Conveyors
Material lifts raise ducts, beams, cabinets, and sheet goods into position without powered elevation platforms. Winch-operated material lifts lead the class, with drywall lifts and vacuum glass manipulators for their specialties.
Cómo funciona
A hand winch or crank drives cable over mast sheaves, raising the carriage; stabilizer legs keep the load's center inside the base. Capacity falls as height rises, published as a load-height chart. Drywall lifts pivot the sheet to angle, then crank it flush; vacuum manipulators hold glass while operators fine-adjust position.

Cómo elegir
Load and height select the unit: HVAC and steel-stud trades size material lifts by duct or beam weight at the needed lift height; a single hanger crew finishes ceilings with a drywall lift; glazing beyond safe two-person handling calls for a manipulator. All are indoor-friendly — no emissions, tight footprints, doorway-passable.
