Shingle ladder, ramp to the roof, save your back

[@johnm5714]

That’s great-people become very creative when faced with adversity. Nicely done sir.If you were to do this for a living I’d say get the electric wench and a car battery and you’ll really be in business

[@brokenarrowez]

I've seen plenty of videos on how to make a lift but your is the simplest. I like simple. I like your design and video. Even a Caveman can build one. thanks.

[@stephanieinglett820]

Awesome idea!!

[@nickphillips1721]

Rube Goldberg would be proud !

[@edwardteach3111]

The video is about the ramp and cart device not the entire roofing job. Yall are breaking his balls because his solution is slick and effective. Nice ramp and system brother. Roofing sucks!!!

[@edwardteach3111]

Imagine using this device with weight as the force in a pulley or counter balance system instead of modern winch. (Ancient Pyramid method)

[@weakmill103]

not really. i mean who loads them? you're telling me loading that thing and then climbing up the roof to pull them up unload them drop it down climb back down load it again and repeat is slick? maybe if he carried a bundle up with him everytime he went back up then yes!

[@3TheJesusCodeWebBooks]

I made one. But my starting point up is not on the ground but starts at 5 feet on 2x4 supports from the side of the ramp. I use a power winch instead of a drill for faster travel. The cart is similar.

[@miked5728]

This looks like the easiest and simplest design I've seen! Might have to give this a try.. 64 bundles to move.

[@TRIPONTHIS]

I like to keep it simple, this ramp will get them to the top of the roof not the edge like most shingle ladders. Ramp it up,

[@jaybeezy5429]

Mcgyver would be impressed

[@crushsmith7534]

good job man. My dad always said work with your head not your back.... I have carried thousands of bundles :( . when I did my house they dropped them on the roof... They no lounger do that and have another roof to do...

[@TRIPONTHIS]

I can get it put on the roof in town but not out here on the lake on a hill.....The cottage is on a lake near a small town 40 minutes to a hard ware store. The truck unloaded on the main road and come in with a wide load forklift just to make it down the lane way. In town I always get them delivered onto the roof.

[@jimyoung7090]

You could use a block and tackle rig to pull the cart up, that's what I did 10 years ago.

[@maskdwn4445]

Lol. This is cool.

[@contentcop3805]

next time give me a call I'll carry them up for you half the time half the cost

[@richardm1631]

You need to have someone at the bottom to load the cart

[@aarongriffin81]

A lil beafier and you can ride up and down the same lift and not use a ladder

[@CentauroDelnorte2]

Hey bro, where did you get the pulley?

[@deerhunter7482]

Don't ever lock the trigger on the drill.

[@briankearney6386]

The time it took to build that thing I would of been done the roof

[@raybans8712]

Brian Kearney it’s about working smarter not harder. You’re boss might appreciate you finishing quicker but you’re back wont

[@TRIPONTHIS]

I need stairs on the other side so the wood was used for that after. 2 2x12x16, qty 3 2"x6" not much wood at all dude. Have you ever carried a bundle up a ladder? This is the easiest design

[@JonCcaron]

Load them while you lay them. Once and done. Your not really making it any easier on yourself physically and certainly not saving yourself any time. This is equivalent to playing with yourself. Lol

[@derpherpp]

is that a bicycle sprocket

[@TRIPONTHIS]

its typically used on trailers to pull the boat onto the trailer.

[@JonCcaron]

LOL! This video should be called "The Art of Over Thinking"

[@TRIPONTHIS]

rather think then hurt my back, this is the simplest way to get shingles up to the top of the roof given tthe situation. don't tell me you would have just taken them up yourself?

[@somebullshit6026]

Or you can get a personal MEX-I-CAN

[@johnshields9511]

Hell I could have carried up five square in the time it took you to f*** with that thing! Haha

[@TRIPONTHIS]

I'm an old man, had back issues for 10 years I'm using my brain, not looking to hurting myself, i'm 60 Dude

[@adventurefishing3190]

Bigger gear faster ascent

[@TRIPONTHIS]

Very true but then I will need more power, that's why my battery drill did not work. So yes I could get a bigger gear ratio but then my drill may not do the job.

[@adventurefishing3190]

Trip on THIS ! Actually it will require less pwer

[@TRIPONTHIS]

ok So take a bike in first gear you go slow but it's easy, slow movement but easy less power, 10 th gear you go fast but it's hard to do. faster but hard more power. Just think of a car that takes less power to go faster.

[@adventurefishing3190]

Trip on THIS ! Not all all the same,
