Lift?

[bannerd]

Hey all, my wife and I are planning on building a log home. I have a tractor to get the pallets off the truck with but during the build process I'm going to need a lift to put the logs on for the roof. I've seen lifts like this move cast iron stoves to second floors, I don't need anything this heavy, maybe a 300-500lbs rated one for indoors. Anyone see/hear of lifts like this? They're for indoors.

Genie lifts are something you should look at. Used a lot by HVAC contractors in commercial installs. Most small pallet jack type lifts will not get as high as you need for roof logs.

That's what I was looking for, expensive little buggers. Maybe I should rent a contractor fork lift? I think they guy down the road rents them out for $170 a day.

Genie lifts work exceptionally well for stuff like that. I have seen contractors use a crane to lift the logs for log homes as well as to lift trusses for larger homes, but that would be even more expensive than the Genie lift.

I'd be thinking on renting a Sky-Trak.
