can it be used to lift an attic stair into place?

I would think so. You might have to get creative in order to balance it safely. Maybe you could strap it to the rails with tie downs.

It is possible. The problem is in the balance of the stair piece on the lift; the lift itself is not very stable but has no problem with a full sheet of sheet rock. Also, can you get to the attachment piece with the lift directly underneath?

i do not see why not. weight wise it should. i've loaded mine that heavy....dj

I just installed an attic stair, and using two 2x4s for support, it did a great job. Made it an easy job to install with two people. One up and one down.

This lift deffinitly has the ability to lift an attic stair.Just be sure you keep the load centered over the vertical post on the lift.

I would have to say no. The helper would be holding on from above using the push rail. You would be bending over as the chair moved down the stairs and if you lost your grip the person in the chair could be severely injury or killed. The wheel locks are not strong enough to slow the chair down in that situation. Sorry.

Yes, I use it to transport groceries from my car to my condo which is quite a distance. It can be pulled up stairs if done gently as long as it is not filled to the top meaning exceeding weight it can hold.

It might work on stairs that have a wall to lean on at the top. It's not going to work on all stairs. There are ladders that cost more that might do a better job.

Yes, because the top of the ladder frame is bolted to a joist. See manufacture for correct size of ladder.

Yes. One would have to construct a box jig to fill the void above the air lifts and the bottom of the cabinetry in order to effectively move the item.

I assume you mean to have the jack fully extended most of the time and then actually "lower" the jack to raise a platform? I doubt it will do that....I would not think the shaft that moves would have the pulling strength without coming out of the outside cylinder.

I don't see why not. It is large, though. This means it has a lot of capacity but might be a little awkward going up and down stairs especially if heavy. The only (minor) issue I have with it is that the front wheels are not pivoted, which means that it does not turn smoothly.

Absolutely. I have moved empty file cabinets with this. It can lift up to 150 lbs.

I would think so. I've used it to lift up the whole front or back of a Ford Ranger, and Lexus RX300.
864196
Yes. If you know to use it. If, for instance, you keep one side folded, and open(unfolded) the other side, then put the short side higher up the stairs, and the longer part lower on the stairway.

Not by gravity, so it might be tricky in an emergency. I've extended it from attic to come down. It can be done. But it was rather laborious to tilt it down, lean down, extend it a bit, latch it, extend more, latch it again.

Yes, if you are careful enough and strong enough. Don't stand on the outside of the ladder rungs to raise parts. Use a pulley when possible, so you are pulling down rather than up. Removing parts may be the most difficult safely. Yes there are floor boards. Make sure the outriggers are at 45 degrees and actually bear weight.

I never gave it a thought but if the screw is tight to the object or inset the answer would be No.If the screw is loose and you can use the grabber it might work Personally I would get a ladder and screwdriver and get the job done .Period.

My guess is that the lift itself would need to be level to the ground, so you would need to use some wedges between it and the ceiling.

Probably not. This contraption is designed to lift something with a lip (preferably on the upper edge). We bought it to move a LARGE planter, with no lip, before realizing this "gotcha". Consequently, I don't believe that we have ever used it. If you're near Lincoln, AL, you could borrow it.

you'll be able to get it up the stairs no problem. make sure you have it next to your bed frame, when you cut the packaging it's going to expand quickly
