Which material lift do I need?
- Height: choose a lift that goes about 2 ft above the height where the load will sit, and check the stowed height against doors and ceilings on the way in.
- Load: add the weight of the duct, drywall or equipment, then check the capacity at the load center. Heavier or wider loads call for the higher capacity models like the Roust-A-Bout.
- Getting it there: many of these lifts fit in a van and go up stairs in pieces. Compare the base width and the width with stabilizer legs against stairwells and doors. The Sumner lifts are 31 in wide in the base.
- Heavier or higher: for pallets, steel or loads that need a rough terrain machine, rent the JLG G6-42A telehandler.

Material lift rental FAQs
What is a duct lift?
A duct lift is a compact manual or winch lift made for raising ductwork, pipe or fixtures to a ceiling and holding them while you secure them.
Will it fit in a freight elevator or stairwell?
Most of our lifts break down or stow at a height of about 6 ft and a width of 31 in. Tell us the dimensions of your route and we will confirm.
Can one person set it up?
Yes, most contractor lifts are designed for one person to move and set up. A second person helps with long ducts.
What is the difference between a material lift and a scissor lift?
A material lift raises materials, not people. A scissor lift carries workers on a platform. Do not ride a material lift. See our scissor lifts for work at height.
Can I rent a lift by the day?
Yes, daily, weekly and monthly. Call 718-344-1474 for availability.
