A: This is an old posting, but still deserves an answer. The minimum ceiling height where you can use the PANELLIFT® 138-2 effectively is about 7 feet tall. One could use it on a lower ceiling, but you would not be able to utilize the tilt-to-load feature of the cradle. You would have to load the boards on the lift parallel to the ceiling.

Overpriced defective substandard panel lift.
The angle of the set-up latch hook was over-bent in manufacturing, (needed tool pounding to force to release the latch hook). The cross arms are too short, (much shorter than a standard 4 feet drywall width. The drywall loading height is too high, such that it defeats the purpose of purchasing a "Panel Lift" for solo operations. All panel lifts generally use the same patent, principle, or standard. The fact that this particular product is double-plus the price of common panel lifts is outrageous to say the least. Don't be fooled by the hype and the odd color.

Take care of this lift and treat it wit respect
I bought my lift in 1993, and used it to hang ceilings and walls so much untill a few years ago, and now i use it on ocassion, and works as well as when it was new. Some key items for long life is keep the floor clean. If you drop nails or screws, pick them up. they can chip your wheels. Don't run over extention cords, wheels can only take so much. And very importantly, don't anyyone stand on the wheel braces. There not meant for that. You may have to replace the cable, or the brass rollers, but thats normal maintence. I've hung many houses by myself. Once you figure this machine out, you'll see as i did that this is the best tool you can get for hanging drywall. I've seen a contractor use one for putting up top cabinets in the kitchen.

Pro Quality
As a contractor I can say these telpro panel lifts are top of the class. I have been using the same lift four or five times a year and it's going on its 12th year.
