Made putting the new exhaust fan a one person job! Works great

I install cabinets professionally every day and I decided to try this lift to save my body some of the effort that comes with one man installation. When I first opened this up I was skeptical at its ability to help. The lift assembles and disassembles very quickly and really needs no instructions for most mechanically inclined people. Once I put it together I noticed it would not extend to 54” which is standard height for upper cabinets here in Texas. I also thought that the carrying bag that is included wouldn’t last a week so I used a different bag of my own. The next day I arrived at my whole house install of the day, which included a couple of 42x42” upper cabinets in the kitchen. I brought along a 6 1/2” tall wood platform I made to make up for the shorter lift height of the tool. Once lined out and set up, I lugged the cabinet over and set it on the lift at about 28” high, and started to crank with the handle provided, it was a very easy lift except that while using one hand to crank and the other to hold the cabinet, it became difficult as, while the cabinet hand moved farther away from the cranking hand, the handle kept coming off. Fortunately this lift can also be drill operated. This solved those problems beautifully and I installed all of the other cabinets and the next days house as well, with the drill. A little but of helpful info; don’t leave a cabinet up unsecured on this lift because it will lean and fall, I have some extending poles that really help with this, and they also help with fine tuning for level. With the speed and ease of drill assisted lifting of these large wall cabinets and the fact that the lift seems sturdy enough to last possibly a few years, if I don’t throw it around when I’m transporting it, I have to give this item 5 stars. It didn’t cost all that much, I can carry it around with one hand, and I don’t feel like I was just in a 4 hour brawl at the end of the day.

Lifted several oversized solid wood cabinets. Huge help for one man operation. Only issue is that it can only lift 48" from the ground which is unfortunate as upper cabinets are a minimum 54" high. Had to put lift on milk crate which worked fine, just had to manually lift cabinet higher to get on the lift.

It does lift but very wobbly

When I first got this lift, I was not happy, it seemed cheap and not the best quality. However, having used it in my shop, especially to lift a really heavy table I am working on, I found it to me invaluable when working alone. I am able to lift really heavy work pieces with ease. For the price, you can't go wrong.

The product I received was not new. The storage bag was torn in several places. The product was very dirty and the wing nut screws on the support arms were tightened down so hard by the previous purchaser that they left dents in the arm. The product did work and I needed it to finish a job. I wish I got a new one as that is what I paid for.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This thing really saved our bacon while installing large heavy upper cabinets in our DIY Ikea kitchen remodel. We are a couple in our mid-70s and the prospect of climbing up on 2 ladders carrying a big cabinet was really daunting. This thing was great! We set up a sturdy work table under the space where we wanted the cabinet. One of us steadied the cabinet while the other one cranked it up with a drill. Smooth and easy! Worth every penny even if we never need it again!

Although the description is wrong stating 150lbs rating, it’s actually 150kg which is 330lbs. I used two of these to raise (2) hickory countertops long enough to secure them together and then lower the Lshaped countertop into place. These worked like a champ. Each section was 256lbs.
