HANGPRO DRYWALL LIFT
COMPONENTS
Being familiar with each component of the lift will help the user operate
the lift more efficiently and safely.
1. WHEELS AND CASTERS
The large rubber wheels are used when the lift is leaned back and pushed like a hand
truck. The casters are used to move the lift side-to-side for precise positioning of the
panel on a wall or when transporting a panel including through a doorway or hallway.
2. CRADLE AND LEDGES
The cradle is located at the front of the lift and holds the panel when it is being
transported or lifted. When loading a panel the cradle is in the lowered position and
the panel is shifted onto the cradle ledges. When transporting a panel the cradle
should be about 12 inches off the floor. Turning the winch handle raises and lowers
the cradle.
3. MAIN FRAMES
The cradle rides up and down the upper and lower main frames. The upper frame
can be pivoted forward to fold the lift in half for easier transport.
4. WINCH CABLE
The winch cable is threaded under both handles and over the pulley located at the
top of the upper main frame. The cable is then threaded under the cradle and the
loop is secured to the bottom of the cradle.
5. AUTO-LOCK HAND WINCH
The winch handle is turned clockwise to raise or counter clockwise to lower the
cradle. The auto lock winch is designed to hold the cradle and panel in a precise
position.
6. HANDLES
The curved handle is held when moving the lift. The straight handle is held when
turning the winch handle and is an additional point of contact when needed. This
handle can be attached either right or left handed. It is important to use these
handles properly when moving or positioning the lift to prevent accidents.
