Will the Roust-A-Bout fit your job?
Two winches run the load and the mast height separately, so you can fine-tune the position. It rolls on 8 in casters. The base runs from 32 x 40 in on the R-100 to 60 x 60 in on the R-250, so tell us your doorway and the height you need and we will send the right model. Compare all our material lifts. For lighter loads on forks up to 25 ft, see the Sumner 2025.
