nothing like waiting for 5 years for a response:eek:

if anyone is really interested, i have designed a lift that does up to 1500#. i always do 100 gallon heaters by myself.:D

a 50 requires a strong back:D. a 75 requires a strong back and a weak mind:eek:

and a 100 gallon requires my lift, with a strong mind and a weak back:D

sorry no pictures.

How i do it, by myself is....without a lift......screw in a 8" nipple to grab, and roll it in close, lay it partway over, get my knee under it, balance and get the feet on the tray, and push it up. Its a trick, but if you do a few a day, it becomes easy. But in the attic, don't try it alone.
