Making my own electric manlift

[@inlangford]

Your neighbor Cassidy is my daughter and she told me to watch this! You're a neat kid! Keep it up! Maybe add some outrigger arms to stabilize sideways movement instead of jackstands.. good job!

[@SteveWooley-gk2pw]

I followed your video and made one for myself. I changed the winch cable with a harbor freight atv winch rope and it works much better.

[@lumenfirealarms]

Ohh this is a really cool project!! Although it could be dangerous but I'm sure you can make it better and safer! Take care and keep having fun!!!

[@thenet0120002]

You have to admire his idea even if it is very shaky. For a young person to have this kind of inventive idea is something. I hope he doesn't get killed first.

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

Holy crap, great invention, I hope you can fix the safety concerns

[@spark23ca]

you are a very smart and brave young man ...put some out riggers on that ...and a railing ...please ...and keep up the good work

[@erichkestler1934]

Awesome creativity! Bravo!!!

[@royalfolkspark]

Great job, be careful.

[@bowlweevil4161]

I sure wish you would show how it is built abd the lift system my living room ceiling is 28 feet high and ceiling fan needs repair your rig would work great for me, good vid THANX!

[@hangingaround4881]

You need a brake on the lift that way if it cable snaps you don't freewill. A retractable anchored to another structure then the lift would be a simple fix. Every time you add a snatch block (pulley) your capacity increases by 50%. I would use better pulleys and your quite wheels also need extendable outriggers that you can level and gives you a wider footing. Thats something very important. But overall good job just be carefull. I fell 12 ft last year luckily didn't break anything or kill myself but I sat on the couch for 16 days and took about 10 months before I finally wasn't in pain. Compressed my ankles real bad. Stupid mistake should of been tied off

[@TheCarson116]

Now *that* is cool!

[@jeffmoss26]

That’s awesome lol

[@THLighting989]

That’s pretty epic

[@vrryan6]

You should try to make call buttons so if the lift is at the top you can call it down

[@N1tr0_fox]

great job that will be realy usefull how long did it take u to make it

[@nics-systems-electric]

Like two days

[@FFRJB1971]

Mount that to a small 4x8 trailer with a jack on all 4 corners. (Jack off a trailer hitch). Then it would be real stable

[@itzbryceodell]

OSHA would love this😂

[@guilleport]

Hahaha 🤣🙏

[@WorcesterCountyEAS]

cool love this vid

[@kemarlawgaming]

This is awesome. But if you do wanna use it to jump in the pool turn it to the side or have the part where you stand face the pool

[@nics-systems-electric]

Less stable that way

[@kemarlawgaming]

@@nics-systems-electric Aaaa gotcha

[@FireAlarm33]

This is really neat! I would get so concerned though what if the Ladder Broke or didn't come down.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Then you can try and climb down or figure something out can’t worry about that kind of stuff

[@FireAlarm33]

@@nics-systems-electric I understand, it's really cool how you invent this stuff.

[@WorcesterCountyEAS]

@@FireAlarm33 oh yeah

[@troysanders7775]

Definitely needs some outriggers

[@tr.firesecurity9929]

So cool

[@KYLE-zo4bm]

thats so cool i wish something like this existed with a little more safety so people could safely clean gutters and stuff i mean i know man lifts exist but they're so huge and expensive

[@hotshoter2]

How did you make it pull the ladder section up and down with it ? Please reply

[@nics-systems-electric]

There is the winch at the bottom and the pulley at the top of the first ladder which goes down to the bottom of the outer ladder section and then it goes up to the top of that one and then to the part I had the actual platform on

[@hotshoter2]

Thank you for the reply

[@Send-It710]

There is a lot of safety critics out there.... maybe they're right and maybe they're wrong...as a career roofer all I can say is.... you couldn't scrounge up a 40ft ladder? Send It!!!!!

[@donb347]

May want to put outriggers on it. Side to side stability is low would not take much crosswind to tip you over.

[@nics-systems-electric]

You totally would I didn't keep this thing for long as it was pretty scary lol

[@indoorroadkill3369]

I like the concept but man what a death trap lol Stability and weight capacity I would want to improve. The winch and cable I wouldn't trust, they make that style up to like 1200lb capacity for like fifty bucks more, bugger cable and motor. Still good for 600lbs without the snatch block... The wagon.... the cheap pneumatic tires scare me. I have the same wagon and those tires are weak and flexy. Would definitely want solids. And some form of telescopic outriggers... something like the dolly bars on a tow truck. You could use car scissor jacks welded on the ends instead of axle stands, not only would cranking them down be easier, but it would give infinite stopping positions to solidly adjust for inconsistent terrain or a bit of slope. The carriage I would build out of steel, I have a hard time trusting wood... your cracked lumber wasn't inspiring confidence lol. It should be tall enough that you have something to hold on to and not have to crouch to operate it. Some type of drop braking would be a good idea too. Perhaps some kind of personal fall arrest unit could be made to work for that. Like I said, I like the concept... you've got the wheels turning in my mind about building one mounted to the back of my old Sonima 4x4 pickup for use around the farm...

[@firealarm300andmore4]

Cool

[@TN4theWIN]

Huge brass ones lol

[@mp-xt2rg]

You remind me of me. I am surprised I survived being a kid with ideas bigger than my skill level. I'm sure you will do cool things. Keep up the good work but don't use that as a man lift. It will seriously injure you. Use it as a material lift.

[@vrryan6]

Homemade scissor lift. Nice lol

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

Well, it's been about 10 months now. How long was this working before someone went to the hospital minus a few fingers??

[@nics-systems-electric]

No one went to a hospital didn’t keep it for long I took it down I needed parts from it

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

@@nics-systems-electric Glad for that..

[@computerjantje]

@@nics-systems-electric I am happy to hear you did not got injured and you took it down again. So many things were dangerous about this thing.

[@computerjantje]

My father would kick the heck out of me for building such an unsafe thing and actually climb on it. :)

[@FireAlert]

Take it to your next inspection.

[@nics-systems-electric]

😂

[@applebottomjeans7145]

DIY elevator for your tower

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

nice but the motor gets stressed by the weight and soon going to burn out with too much use

[@nics-systems-electric]

It’s meant to lift that much weight

[@gamingandvloging1117]

Cool. You looked scared at the top lol

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not really

[@computerjantje]

Please teens who watch this. Please do not build this iat home. So many things can go wrong on this thing. For example sideways tipping over, or a finger between the ladder parts, something wood breaking and the thing then falling loose or apart. Probably the only thing not happening would be the cable breaking. For the rest I get scared watching this and cannot imagine your parents let you ride it.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Couldn’t recommend it for others but for me why not just living life and having fun

[@computerjantje]

@@nics-systems-electric because you could have just as much fun building this safe. Just more effort. But then you get to live a bit longer in good health and learn more. Now go to your room and overthink your lack of regards for the safety of your own life. :)

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@computerjantje Got to have fun sometimes and use the materials you have

[@gosrex]

looks like meat cleaver
