Case Study :
PowerLift conservatively saved our subcontractor approximately 10,000 dollars and about a week's worth of work.
Ron Hansen - John T Jones Construction Co.
Job Description:
Large water treatment facility ceiling sealing project.
Challenges:
Entire facility only accessible through 36 inch walk-through door.
Ceiling had gradual slope requiring adjustable working height throughout project.
Ceiling located above water with catwalks dividing multiple sections of the bulk storage bunker.
Equipment Options:
A standard push-around manlift weighing 700 lbs was evaluated. Railings would have needed to be removed and require several workers to transfer the lift to the floating platform. Based on the 700
lb weight, the lift would have needed to be located close to the platform center, leaving a large portion of the pool perimeter unreachable. Because the roof sloped, the work was at different
heights throughout the project so scaffolding platform heights would have trouble providing effective access to the ceiling. In addition to multiple setups and teardowns, several trips would be
required to bring material up and down, compromising safety and efficiency. Ladders would not provide required safety or reach.
Solution:
The PowerLifts compact and lightweight design allowed 2 workers to easily lift it up and over the guardrails and place on the floating platform. With the base anchored to the wood deck, operators
were able to safely make several trips to the work. The light weight and 4 swivel casters also allowed the PowerLift to be easily positioned close to the edge of the platform to reach corners and
sides of the ceiling above each pool. With ropes tied to the platform, two workers repositioned the work platform to reach the ceiling in all areas above the pool. Job was complete in only two days
with a few workers.

Q: Will cordless drills work?
A: Yes, many people enjoy the convenience of using a cordless drill. However, a corded drill provides more power and speed.
