Developed by a high-volume remodeling contractor, the
CRL Wood's Ladder Lifter (SKU: LL185) streamlines second-story window installation. The lifter clamps to ladder rungs with the pulley assembly at the top and a braking winch near the bottom. A 30' (9.14 m) galvanized steel cable suspends an adjustable-width hand cup lifter bar that uses two Cat. No. W4950 Metal 8" (203 mm) Vacuum Cups (sold separately) to handle glass. Cups slide along the bar to span exterior muntins when required.
Use the braking winch to precisely raise and position window units up to 185 lbs. (84 kg). Releasing the winch handle instantly engages the brake—no levers to flip—while lowering is done by rotating the winch handle counterclockwise. Typical above-grade window installations often require only a two-person crew and about two hours because scaffolding setup and teardown are eliminated, offering fast payback.
NOTE: Monitor and re-pump Vacuum Cups as needed. When the Ladder Lifter is attached, the ladder must not support workers. Ladders used with the Ladder Lifter must have a minimum load capacity of 375 lbs. (170 kg).
