IntroduCtIon
The Drywall Lift allows one person to lift a drywall panel that is up to 4ft X 16ft
in size, without assistance . The panel can be raised to a maximum height of 11ft
using the PL11C for attachment to level ceilings-or (with the lift's cradle tilted) to
sloped ceilings or side walls .
The lift's cradle lowers to 34 inches off the floor for easy panel loading, and can
support up to 150 lbs .
These instructions explain how to assemble the Drywall Lift, operate it, disas-
semble it after use for easy transport and storage, and order replacement parts .
