PANELLIFT is designed to allow one person to hang wall board up to four by 16 feet on walls, cathedral and flat ceilings. Users load one sheet onto the PANELLIFT and lift the lever to engage the multi-stage chain drive mechanism, for quick, efficient raising. At 1.25 feet per second, it takes approximately eight seconds to raise boards 15 feet, and nine seconds to descend, and variable speed is included for precise board placement. This tool will result in reduced incidence of back injury, with several safety features.
