Hi all, I'm curious what's out there in terms of motorized material lifts and what anyone's given preference is. I'm looking for low capacity (sub-500 pounds) with a lifting height of at least 10 feet, though preferably in the 12-14ft range. Ideally both the lifting and driving will be motorized, but the catch is that the unit's weight needs to be under 400 pounds.
I have experience with the Genie GL12 (and like it, especially with the ladder add-on), but before attempting to motorize one of those (and void my warranties/insurance) I am curious if anyone knows of something usable in this nature off the shelf. This is strictly for lifting equipment and not for holding a suspended load in show position. Budget is ideally under $5K.
- I posted this is "lighting" but understand that lifts apply to sound and rigging as well - figured this was the best place unless a mod wants to rehome it.
Thanks!
