00:00Welcome back and here what we have is what's called a material lift. This will raise up to
00:16about 18 feet. It's portable. Right now I have the legs down but these legs fold up. These safety
00:24legs fold up as well for transport and this fork is what you lift the material on. Now these are
00:32used a lot by the heating and air conditioning fellas to lift up by heating units or air
00:37conditioning units either in a on a flat surface usually on a concrete floor. This pin comes out
00:43and what this can also be used for it seems to be used a lot for now is lifting beams up for
00:51renovations when you're taking out walls and in homes and you want to put a steel beam or a
00:57wooden beam up. The capacity if you put the beam right against the fork here is 650 pounds on this
01:06particular unit. You can put the fork in this way. I'll just take the safety off here and you can
01:17lift put this in either way. The fork will go in this way a lot of times for beams because as you
01:26crank this up then this flat part is above the mast so you can snug the beam right up into the into the
01:32pocket up top and you can flip this around the other way if you're using it for lifting units air
01:40conditioning or heating units or even your beam if you don't have any obstruction and you're fairly high
01:45when you lift it up. It's simply putting it on there and cranking it up crank it up by hand and then you
01:54snug it up and then you just bring it down. Very easy to use and takes all that weight out stops you
02:01from getting into a position where you're trying to lift the beam with posts and a lot of fellows standing
02:07there a lot safer. Don't forget if you start moving your beam out farther or your load out farther the
02:14the capacity of the lift is much less. So you may have to be 650 pounds right here but you're gonna
02:20be a lot less depending on the size of what you're lifting if you're trying to lift it out here. So try
02:25to keep whatever you're doing close to the mast and if you get over that 650 because you always know
02:31the weight of what you're doing then you can use two of these one at either end and crank it up and
02:36they're excellent for doing that kind of job. Then transporting you'll have this wheel out up like
02:46this and you can tip this back and roll it on the wheels on the back pull over to the back of your
02:54pickup truck tip it back these wheels on your tailgate and lift up the other end and roll it in.
03:00One person can actually do it himself if he wanted to and that's what these wheels are for on the back
03:05for putting on the tailgate so you can roll it right in and tie it down and then roll it right
03:10back out again or even on a trailer it's the same thing. So it's excellent for trying to to load and
03:18unload and don't forget of course this pin that you're gonna have to put in and take that out when
03:28to pull it out of course again. So this will come out you pull this fork out fairly easily.
03:36You can flip it around and you can do the same thing sliding it into the bottom and putting the
03:49pin in and lifting that either way. So there's something that can make your easy job a lot easier.
03:55Some people have even used this to put a pallet on to lift shingles up to a roof. Anything that you
04:01have a flat surface area don't forget it's on wheels and that you maybe want to lift it up into
04:06a loft or something. It has various uses but as long as you have a flat surface and can crank it up it'll
04:13go up as high as 18 feet. Okay there's something else to consider for your jobs and we'll see you soon.
