Easy, One-Person Drywall Installation
The Lazy Lifter Drywall Lift makes drywall installation a one-person job. It lets you spend time hanging with your friends--not hanging drywall with them. The Lazy Lifter does all the heavy work, so it takes the backache out of drywall installation, making it possible to hang panels safely--all day long. And perhaps best of all, it helps you get projects done less expensively and in less time.

Durable Lifter Hoists Up to 15 Feet
Featuring a heavy-duty cable and welded, powder-coated steel construction the Lazy Lifter is designed to last a lifetime. This sturdy device has a 150-pound load capacity, and it can hoist 4-foot by 16-foot drywall panels up to 11 feet in the air. When used with the optional extension bar, this versatile tool can even lift drywall all the way up to 15 feet--a handy feature for vaulted ceilings and great rooms. (Lift height is determined by the 11-foot max lift and the half-length of the drywall panel.)

Rolling Design, One-Handed Crank, and Tilting Action for Easy Use
The Lazy Lifter Drywall Lift is incredibly easy to use. To operate, simply roll the hoist to your work area--the locking casters and foot stops make it easy to safely secure the lift in place.

Once the lift is in position, just turn the single-stage winch's handle to raise the board--it's so easy, you only need to use one hand. A brake mechanism on the wheel will help you keep things steady, and locking outriggers and foldable hooks on the panel support will stabilize your work pieces. And thanks to the Lazy Lifter's 360-degree swivel cradle and 75-degree tilting action, you'll have no trouble maneuvering your panels, even around slanted walls and vaulted ceilings.

Assembly and Warranty Information
The Lazy Lifter Drywall Lift requires only minimal, tool-free assembly and is backed by a full five-year limited warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pro Grade Drywall Hoist, June 11, 2008

I purchased this hoist for my husband who is rehabbing houses. We were excited that it was such a good buy but disappointed when we used it. On the first piece of drywall which was a 12 foot piece, the hoist wheel, one of the supports and a caster bent. When we called Discount Tommy they said we could send it back but it weighs 100 lbs. We would end up with a refund of $59.00 after spending about $269 for the purchase and return shipping. I would never have bought this thing had I known. I read other people's reviews before purchasing this hoist but aparently they were luckier then we were. Chinese junk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Platinum drywall lift, January 10, 2008

The Platinum drywall lift is a good tool for the money, especially with a 3 year warranty. The lift went together easily and it works very well.
The only down side of this deal was the packaging. When I received my lift, the box that it came in looked like it had been through the mill.
A few of the plastic caps were damaged in shipping, but I contacted their customer sevice dept. and I was sent replacement parts right away.
They seem to be a good company to do business with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drywall Lift, December 11, 2007

It functions as advertised and does so quite well. The one issue I see with this unit is that to load a sheet of drywall, the height one man must lift a sheet to set it in the sprin loaded keepers is nearly 4 feet off the floor, so its almost a 2 man lift. Otherwise it works very well for the money involved...
