For all of you inquiring about lifts, the ones we use are th 35' and 50' towables. these are great due to the fact that 2 people can muscle them around.��also like in our case we have a 4 wheeler specifically for when we use these lifts, that has a ball on it so we can get the lift in and out of tight area without damaging the yard with the weight of a trucks. this way you can get in peoples back yards. if you work out a deal with your local rental place you can get them pretty cheap. ours run about 150 for the day. hope this helps. also one more thing, a lift can sometimes be more trouble than its worth so make sure you can't just do the job without it.

Good stuff !
Agreed, we only use a lift as a LAST resort.

The towables are MUCH less cost, and a 4 wheeler is a great idea.
My head�roof cleaner Kevin also had the idea of getting a 4 wheeler vs buying a powered 4wd lift.

If you have any pictures of your lifts, or you using them, please post them ?

We have had to use lifts on a few occations. They now have lifts with spider legs that adjust themselves and level off with a push of a button. those are sweet. Haven't used one yet though. Here are a few of the lifts we have used. Some for Roof Cleaning and some for Hurricane Shutters that we install and take down for a clients commercial building in Largo Florida each year. We've used�some from 45footers to 80 footers.

Very Cool Larry,

Nice pics of lifts for roof cleaning and other applications.

It has been a while since I have had to use a manlift of any kind but they definately have their place and are a godsend when there is no other option.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I've used them, but they make me nervous!!!
Talk about possible damage to a home!!
Man, with one of these things, the wrong turn and the yards tore up, the wrong push of a handle and the house it tore up!
I now feel I have enough work, that if it requires a boom, the homeowner can keep on looking for another roof cleaner-with more nerve! {Or ability with cherry pickers! ]

Hey Charlie,

Just watched your You Tube Video of Roof Cleaning In Long Island, NY.

Great job on the Roofs and what a great, simple, short and to the point roof cleaning video.

Very Nice! Good Job! You should be proud.

Glad to have you here on the forum.

Dave, I did Charlie's Signature.
Lacking a web site, I stuck the roof cleaning�video in there for him.
I worked out really well.
Yes, I watched it, and I LIKE it.
Short, sweet, to the point.
