About This Product

Tie Down's TP250 TranzPorter is a ladder hoist designed to lift shingles and other materials quickly and safely to the roof. This powerful tool can hoist up to two hundred fifty pounds at a time and reach heights up to forty-four feet. Built with strong and reliable construction, the TranzPorter is a market leader known for its quality. Sometimes called a ladder elevator, this hoist moves materials without requiring workers to carry heavy loads by hand, reducing the risk of injury. The hoist and track sections assemble easily, and the foot pedal and handle brake controls make it simple to operate while built-in safety mechanisms help prevent falls. You can add an optional four-foot or eight-foot track extension to reach the full forty-four-foot height. The TP250 is ideal for lifting shingles, felt, insulation, and other materials to hard-to-reach places. The new collapsible carriage includes cam followers for smoother tracking, and its aluminum deck and flap provide lightweight durability. The rolled goods bracket pins securely into the carriage. You can choose from three different motors: a Lifean gas engine, a Honda gas engine, or an electric motor. An optional solar panel saddle carriage accessory lifts solar panels without damaging them or the roof. Tie Down maintains high standards and strict quality control by using strong raw materials and parts made in the United States.

    Answer This Question

    Hi Gene, The Lifan Model of the TP250 is a Gas Motor. The TP250 also comes in a Honda gas motor (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Tie-Down-TP250-250-lbs-Capacity-with-28-ft-Platform-Hoist-and-Honda-Engine-60041/328445388) and an electric motor(https://www.homedepot.com/p/Tie-Down-TP250-250-lbs-Capacity-with-28-ft-Platform-Hoist-and-Electric-Engine-60042/328445386)

      Can the product be assembled so that it is 16 feet instead of 28’. What space at the base does it need? Will it if in a 44” areas?
      ByMay 18, 2024
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Yes, the TP250 with a 250 lbs. capacity and 28 ft. platform hoist can be assembled to a length of 16 feet instead of 28 feet. According to the Hoist Placement chart found on page 12 of the instruction manual, for a 16-foot track length, the base should be 4 feet 6 inches from the building. However, the available space of 44 inches (3 feet 8 inches) is less than the required 4 feet, so it will not fit in a 44-inch area. For more detailed instructions, please refer to this link to the operations manual: https://files.plytix.com/api/v1.1/file/public_files/pim/assets/41/96/eb/63/63eb96412c0736000157d6bd/texts/53/73/2a/66/662a7353c626ba913c40c4a1/60043_Instructions.pdf
