I got an email on this also. If I understand the deal correctly, it
is way expensive for what you get. $393 down + $196/ MO for 36
months = $7449. That seems like a bit much.

It is an interesting piece, can you tell us what it cost? Probably
not worth it on the small jobs but could be a back saver on the big ones.

Hi Geoff,
We picked up one of them last fall. Kind of bulky, takes up a lot of
truck space, and takes a full hour to set up. The angle of tilt for the
top leg is limited, making it less than optimum for getting modules onto
low pitched steel roofs. And the gear at the elbow used to set the tilt
is a little soft and showing early wear. But for larger jobs with a
larger crew it really moves the modules up safely and quickly in batches
when you are ready for them on the roof. On those jobs I'm convinced
it's a big fatigue reducer and safety and productivity improvement.
Otherwise it is usually sitting in storage in the shop.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] solar roof lift experience?
Hey gang- anyone have any success (or horror) stories with regard to
panel lifting equipment? I have considered a home-brew cart on a
ladder,
looked at some products made for comp shingles, and saw some
fancy-schmancy European stuff at the shows. Just today I was hit with a
marketing email from this company:
