I am considering buying a Genie Z45-22 Aerial Manlift. It is rated to lift 500 pounds 45 feet in the air or 22 feet out. I do not know much about these machines but I am assuming that they are capable of lifting more close to the ground that way up or our.
I am building a house from SIP panels that will be 3 stories high on two walls (walkout basement). The manlift would be great for installing windows, soffit and possibly the brick layers.
The other place where I will need a larger piece of equipment is unloading the SIP panels from the semi truck when they arrive. A stack of SIP panels might weigh 2 to 3 thousand pounds. A off road forklift or skytrack would be perfect for unloading the panels. But if the Genie would handle the load between 0 and 9 feet of lift it would save on rental fees. Weighing in around 16K pounds I would think it would be able to lift more than 500 pounds.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
