DIY Homemade Shingle Elevator 

Brilliant! That is so cool! I love Yooper engineering. Great Job......

Necessity is the mother of invention, Im not sure my old body could take lifting 90 bundles of shingles up the ladder, Im sore right now as it is, but Sandra got her new roof. Thank goodness the Case is running well it was perfect for this. My painting season is over, its freezing at night now and in the 50's during the day, Im sure you have a few weekends left to get cracking on the Allis

great video, never considered building one of these entirely out of wood.

I will copy your design. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing and well done for the quality of production and editing.

I love good old American ingenuity.

That is so cool! Kudos to you!

I usually carry up six at time... Three on each arm, with a hangover.

One more pulley would have made it much easier to use garden tractor. Put a pulley on the sled and tie the rope to the top of the elevator then another pulley on the top of the elevator and one one the bottom.

Nice job, thanks for sharing...

it seems like that thing could handle several bundles.

Cool, and smart :-)

great and simple, thanks brother

Hey Tom, How are you? I bet your roofers greatly appreciated thst elevator. Looks like the Case is ready for Winter duty. You should treat the old doll to a new seat, HA HA! I always enjoy your videos. Keep em comin. Regards, Nolan

you didn't need the snow-blower, afterall haha, just kidding ya man great set-up :-)

Take a shot every time he says caster lol

Nice!

Genius.

Thanks for your great video

I think you need a bigger CASE for that

Well I would like to tell you Im good, but my back is still killing me from the shingles lol The Case is ready for winter, but Im not sure I am, my next trip to the city Im going to look at seats at tractor supply. I had to work on the honey do list this summer, so not may videos. I miss my garage time, our summers are way to short up here

thanks

Yes its a repowered Case 446, check out my other videos of it

roofinghoist.com has links to many videos of a roofing hoist that lifts over 500 lbs and weighs only 70 pounds. Over 350 built since hurricane Katrina. You only have to attach a hoist motor and the platform to you own ladder.

I do at least two bundles of shingles at a time.

i had to put re rod in the ground 2 hold from moving

good ..

Seems a little ridiculous to use a tractor for the power. Seems like you could just pull it with manpower. At worst, you would just need to double-up the pullies. I mean, I can carry a bundle up a ladder on my shoulder, it would be a lot easier to use the ladder. Other than that, it's brilliant! However, it would have been nice to have a better shot of the build.

It that a 446 I have an Ingersoll 446
