Probably not many expect to see the shingles automatically unload. And the braces going from the rails to the roof are Right. This is the best design yet. Thanks for showing.
dude, you are awesome!! I do everything by myself as well. Hoping to build it tomorrow. Buying motor tonight & I haven't seen a dump version of one of these.
Your the MAN! Love your roof loader, I need to get the material topside and prefer to do things myself. (For many reasons) Thank you for taking the time to share your inventive genius with the rest of us. Power on!
Thanks, I only was able to build this because I got ideas from other guys that shared theirs.... I didn't even know what one was before then so I appreciate your comment.
Pardon the pun J Bush, but this is over the top awesome!!!! This is by far the best DIY shingle lift I have seen yet!! I will be copying your design when I build mine!!!
Just watched your video on lift. I'll be constructing one similar to yours. I'm thinking of using a 4 wheeled harbor freight dolly and building a good channel for the dolly. I'll build rails like yours. Thanks for the video.
Pretty ingenious ideal, but if you're buying enough shingles to do a whole house they will not only deliver them but they will also put them on the roof. Even if they charge a delivery fee it couldn't have amounted to the money you spent at Harbor Freight and the day and a half you said you spent building it. Time is money and at minimum 20 bucks an hour and a day and a half comes out to be $240 in labor plus whatever you spent at harbor freight. Plus the time it took you to put the shingles on the roof with your invention. still way cheaper to have them delivered and put on the roof. But nonetheless that was a nice little tool you built.
Someone fetch this clever fellow a beer! Your invention works slicker than cat shit on a doorknob. Well done Mr.Bush Sir, well done!. I'm working on building a lift and am under a time constraint as materials are ordered already. Site is all 2-4 stories of 8/12 and ~43 square w/ many different edges, valleys, dormers, and a chimney. Lowest access point is 18' off the ground and a long way to hump bundles from there. The tear off of full shakes is going to be a mess with no vehicle or trailer access at any point, frequent high winds, Redwood decks to protect & get over & off, and 3 story windows that have to be covered with plywood. Everything goes to the ground on tarps then has to be wheelbarrowed a little at a time completely around the building on a sloping sidehill single track path to a trailer in the driveway. I only wished we could have witnessed a close up shot of it functioning at the top, profile view. So you manually stop the lift at the top?
Really like your design-just can't figure out exactly what you did on the backside at the bottom (at about 3:36). It's the slickest design I've seen yet. I need to put 4x8's on the roof and would modify it a bit more to enable that. I really like the dump feature, even though I'm not sure I can do that with 4x8's. Good job!
Thanks Mr. George, the 2/4's are just sliding along the backside but I should've recessed castor wheels inside the 2/4's because of friction and clearance on the backside in order for the dump to even be possible. I will answer any questions if you would like because every time someone rebuilds this thing it's going to be better and better.
I can do that it's not a problem..... but the hinge part is not tricky at all.... it only looks tricky. I have it screwed to both parts like you would a crawl space door or doggy door, it's just laying flat instead of vertical.
There are 2 - 3" deck screws per 2/4. Each 2/4 has the pitch of the roof cut on the ends of them so they will set properly on the roof. The other end of the 2/4 has a slight angle and it is screwed to the elevator.
is it still holding up for you? I love how you did it, I am thinking of a simpler easier idea for me, but only going to be used once and I am going to use my car to do the pulling, but love how it drops off shingles on top. Main difference I probably going to make it where it only carries one at time but I still want it drop off on top so I can maybe drop few bundles off, might be able to get away with doing two bundles at a time but I am thinking I would have to re enforce and get a stronger rope. Thanks for posting you have helped me figure out how to save my back!
way worth your invention. I bought a safety hoist HD400 28ft rated for 400lb paid $3300 at ABC Roofing Supply. 2 weeks later brake spring snapped after only loading it with 180lb. cost me $600 to repair damage on it. had it for 3 months and now brake band broke seems like it got smashed.
Nice built. The " auto " tip at the top was the best feature. How hard is it to move around? I see you have an axle on the bottom, but even with wheels looks like it can be top heavy for one guy to move it around. One of the best build I have seen for this yet. Stay Safe, Joe Z
I want to thank you for the design inspiration of the flap delivery system. I based my entire design off of that! Here's a video of mine in action: ruclips.net/video/JkIMvHembyk/видео.html
The auto dump at the top is a work of genius ! Well done , food for thought , a great idea .
I was surprised when I saw the tilting action at the top. Now that's a slick idea !
Thank you Mr. Henry..... it does make things a lot easier.
That tilt drop at the top is slick as hell. So far your idea of having it unload at the top is the best dyi I've seen so far.
Thank you Sir
I loved your lift. Simple and straight forward for getting those shingles up onto the roof. Best lift I've seen yet. Time to make myself one.
Looks like a work of art.
Excellent job! Sure must save your back. I've haul shingles up to the roof of a two story house on my shoulder twice. Wouldn't wish it on an enemy.
Your lift is great!! What an innovative idea. It’s amazing!
I’m with you. You have the right to be so excited with your lift.
Probably not many expect to see the shingles automatically unload. And the braces going from the rails to the roof are Right. This is the best design yet. Thanks for showing.
Anyone that has run shingles up & down a latter a few times knows exactly how much it excites you. Perfect contraption!!
I've seen a bunch of these diy lifts, but they never show you how to get the bundles off. This is quite excellent!
dude, you are awesome!! I do everything by myself as well. Hoping to build it tomorrow. Buying motor tonight & I haven't seen a dump version of one of these.
+Ellen Pickett Hey thanks Ellen... I'm sure that you will make it even better :) Good luck and please be safe out there.
Your the MAN! Love your roof loader, I need to get the material topside and prefer to do things myself. (For many reasons) Thank you for taking the time to share your inventive genius with the rest of us. Power on!
Sir,, Wow.. brilliant...So cool..Great mind to see the concept and bring it to fulfilment.. Kudos to you young man..
Awesome Build !!! I am a do it my self guy also !!! Great Job.
Barry
That is engineering at its best. Awesome job.
Stout and that tilt/drop is a back saver. Very cool tool.
That was pretty cool! Especially the way it dropped the shingles on the roof!
Best diy lift I've seen to date! I'm totally stealing it to do my roof!
😂😂😂
Thanks for that and I'm glad to help you out because so many other designs here on youtube has helped me as well.
J. Bush
Yeah bro. It's legit af. I'll be building it this weekend. I may have a few questions for you when I'm in progress.
That is SUPER SLICK!!! Thanks for posting this. I do roofing by myself, and I gotta build one of these!
Damn brother you are awesome! Great job creating this and sharing your brilliant idea with us.
I thank you for your kind words Sir
that dumping action is tight. great job sir
Wow. Fantastic Job! Very ingenious.
You did a awesome job ! Best one i've seen so far !! Thank You for sharing yours with us .
Thanks, I only was able to build this because I got ideas from other guys that shared theirs.... I didn't even know what one was before then so I appreciate your comment.
You are very welcome ! Take care !
Very Clever idea. Thank you for sharing. Please do a follow up video showing details for how the sled is build, wheels attached and dump device.
Pardon the pun J Bush, but this is over the top awesome!!!! This is by far the best DIY shingle lift I have seen yet!! I will be copying your design when I build mine!!!
Thank you so much... let's keep sharing
Excellent design and video! Thank you.
Thank you for checking it out
Thanks Mark... please be safe out there.
Dope!!! I usually see them built on ladders but that’s pure scratch
Pretty darn slick if you ask me! It excites me so much, I can’t hardly speak! Dump Action!!!
Awesome, my brother!! Good Job!!
Love the tilt! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot, be safe out there
Thank so much for your great details video
Awesome great step by step, I owe you.
Excellent idea, thanks.
Really enjoyed your video, great design. Do not underestimate yourself. Damn Slick!
Thanks to all of you guys. I really hope this helps everyone out and let's keep sharing because someone is going to make an even better one. Thanks :)
The best one I have seen yet! Well done!
great job! i like that dump action. very neat.im building one for myself im doing 32squares
+Rito DA Thanks a lot Rito, It will help you out a great deal and be careful out there, stay safe please.
Great design!
That's a smart idea!!! Very!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Nice job, I like the tilt action on the top.
Thanks Mr. Beaty, it really saves your body I assure you.
I'm sure some people are going to hate on this contraption but the dump thing at the top is really neat

yep... pretty darn slick indeed!
Thank you Sir, stay safe and let's keep sharing ideas
good job. thanks for the idea. best one I have seen. you should make them and sell them.
Great idea with the auto unloading. That would save so much work.
Well done. Very cool
You are a genius!
Brilliant!
I love it....when there is a will.... there is a way... I need something like this but for t11 cement board...
Someone fetch this clever fellow a beer! Your invention works slicker than cat shit on a doorknob. Well done Mr.Bush Sir, well done!.

Dam you put engineers to shame dud!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sir, I struggled with it for a while in designing it but it's still working well even today.
Nicer than the one I built. Very smart!
Is there any way to make it louder?
Those boys pulling those ropes are crying right now.
Great job! Cannot see the details of the construction on the video though...
Dude! That is awesome!!
you are a genius
Wow!! very nice!!
Definitely slick!
Hello.... thanks a lot.. youtube was a lot of help and I hope this design helps out many people out there... Peace my friend
Wow! Well done sir!
Thank you as well Sir, stay safe
YOU ARE A GENIUS !!
Hi does it have wheels on it great video
that is awesome!!!!
Really like your design-just can't figure out exactly what you did on the backside at the bottom (at about 3:36). It's the slickest design I've seen yet.

I will answer any questions if you would like because every time someone rebuilds this thing it's going to be better and better.
good job
nice real nice pretty slick if you ask me as well
Ok, the tip off function on a home made is pretty rich, plus you don't end up trying to carry 4 bags to save trips, and that means a lot more load.
Yes Sir, that is kind of the main reason for it...... to let the machine do as much work as possible so you won't have to.
Kind of late but you got it right. Congrats on the built.
Habe you made any plans to share with others that have found your build? I would like to make one lime tours with the dump feature on yours. Thanks
Hello, I don't have any plans to this. I just pictured it in my mind, bought the materials and built it. I do apologize for that my friend
J. Bush okay thanks i will do the same....anyway you can send some pictures of the hinge mechanism? Or how you built that part
I can do that it's not a problem..... but the hinge part is not tricky at all.... it only looks tricky. I have it screwed to both parts like you would a crawl space door or doggy door, it's just laying flat instead of vertical.
J. Bush thanks for the reply i saw that in your video after a few times. How do you attach it to the "ladder" part.
There are 2 - 3" deck screws per 2/4. Each 2/4 has the pitch of the roof cut on the ends of them so they will set properly on the roof. The other end of the 2/4 has a slight angle and it is screwed to the elevator.
great job.. it works fine
lol

Hello Dee, I'm glad I was able to help with your ideas. Please stay safe
Yes, definitely a great idea to have it dump the bundles!
Noice!
I was not impressed, I mean two days to make?? Then it self dumped!! Genius!! Worth the effort. Nice Job.
Thanks James, I almost gave up on it but I had to do the entire roof by myself.
@@timbush7358 im starting a complete roof replacement in the spring. 2000 sf. Tile removal then asphalt install
This is badass
very nice, I may try building one too.
thanks
Thank you for checking it out, I'm sure it will be a nice addition to your tool shed. Be safe
Awesome
Jos❤
Do you have drawings or a sketch up
👏👏👏💯👍👍
SUPER!!
Nice!
Slick!
way worth your invention. I bought a safety hoist HD400 28ft rated for 400lb paid $3300 at ABC Roofing Supply. 2 weeks later brake spring snapped after only loading it with 180lb. cost me $600 to repair damage on it. had it for 3 months and now brake band broke seems like it got smashed.
Thank you Javo, I hope you can get it replaced for a new one. I use ABC as well sometimes.
hell yeah ............
Yes Sir! Some "Slick Shit"; I love it!
That’s legit!
Tim great job this is from your baby boy TJ
Nice built. The " auto " tip at the top was the best feature. How hard is it to move around? I see you have an axle on the bottom, but even with wheels looks like it can be top heavy for one guy to move it around. One of the best build I have seen for this yet. Stay Safe, Joe Z
Sorry I don't have any drawings for this design because I basically made it up as I built it.
10 4 going up the ladder with bundles is the hard part
Copy that
This is great, but wouldn't a trebuchet be faster?
Not focused on speed at all. I like seeing what I can come up with just by thinking outside of the box.
So put two more on lift an raise it but don't dump it that way you will have 4 bundles on roof at a time less trips up an down for you to
Patent that! Get it ansi certified and I will buy 10!
Smart man if you ax me
someone ask a black guy you can do roofing work? he say let me figure it out i ll get with you in a little ,boom lol
I want to thank you for the design inspiration of the flap delivery system. I based my entire design off of that! Here's a video of mine in action: ruclips.net/video/JkIMvHembyk/видео.html
Thats a 4/12
HIRE A PROFESSIOAL.......ITS YOUR ROOF. DID YOU GO THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE 3 YEAR APPRECIATSHIP? HIRE A LICENSED ROOFER.
Nice!
