- Roof pitch is 4/12. Hoist/ Winch 220Lb direct, 440Lb if a moving pulley was used. Winch was 49 dollars from Homier in 2005 (ie Harbor Freight in Circus Tent for a weekend ) same as 99 dollar HF one Today : www.harborfrei... Cart was built in 2005 for Katrina reroofing. The 6 casters are from Home Depot. Rail/track is offset 2x4, offset is 3/4 inch so cart stays on track. The track back in 2006 had a 20 inch spacing, this is 20 1/4 inch.

I love it! I think people can be jerks and kind of arrogant in their responses, I am doing a simpler ladder version and using my car to hoist, I like the fact you can get four at a time up in one load. I don't want to kill my back that is why I am going make a hoist. If you are young and don't care about wrecking your back someday or lot stronger than I am, go for it. I am going to enjoy getting my shingles up with ease. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Kind of amazing that people dislike shingle loader videos like this because they want to crow about how much they love to lug shingles up a ladder like cavemen.
My first video like this and I assumed every comment would be exactly like you said and sure enough the first comment I see is yours
It's because they don't do it everyday.
nice. I like seeing all the different ways of building these type lifts that people come up with.
thanks 4 posting...nice!
once l made a wooden skid pulled up a soaped, railed ramp from scrap wood...using rope & 2 pullies pulled it up by hand...since l was too weak to shoulder bundles of textured shingles up a ladder in high humidity/heat 😥...worked well.
Nice video. I enjoyed it. I think the negative commentators totally missed the point. He did this by his self with wood and a winch. The potential with this gadget could allow a 60 year old man to out pack 10 seasoned Mexicans on a 300 square roof.
chris malais I seriously doubt that. Lol
Depends on what seasoning is on the Mexicans
I really enjoyed the video. Very creative. Thanks for sharing.
Cool video. I enjoyed watching it in the casual style in which it was presented. Nice hoise and property. Thanks for sharing.
Forget the naysayers!
Nice job...you used your head and nothing has to be wasted
Roofing by yourself.
You're a badass man.
Rule of thump ... always leave a 1 sq. on the ground till the end
Nice idea but I think that unit and the ladder are just a little bit too close to the overhead triplex coming into the building. Just my thoughts.
Right next to the power lines. Brilliant.
Nice design on the lift.
Looks like lots of work have you seen my design way less screws, but my cart looks similar. then i used the wood to make some stairs for the deck. I like your tree stop.
I think I like the use of the tree, and the hoist mount, but making that cart would drive me nuts-- I think I'm going to try to mount at the peak with a snatch pully and use an aluminum two wheel hand truck, which may save a lot of aggravation, and can also be used to roll them around on the roof.
Winch at the bottom and pulley at the top. Eliminate winch and battery on roof. Use two pulleys get twice the work load.
Our Meeks delivery guy gives me a ride on his mule up a steep driveway lol
Opps. You forgot to put down a starter strip. Nice rig, but it might have been cheaper to hire a young buck to carry them up and help you with other stuff too.
I like your dog.
thanks for inspiring me! I'll adapt your design Too bad you did not shoot building the dollie.
Very crafty but the time it takes to build you'd probably have half roof done walking them up. Ps, be careful with that ladder by the power lines.
Your back thanks you
So cool!
Much better than by hand....
Most roofing supliers deliver and haul up the bundles of shingles,
When I was roofing years ago it cost a $1 a sq. to have them use the boom lift the shingles to the ridge of the roof... I would of paid $2 or $3 a square for the amount of time, effort & energy it saved... An average home back then was between 20 to 30 Square... BUT I do understand the feeling of putting together a project that takes time planning and trial and error to get to the final design..To the guy who built this I'd like to know was it worth the time energy and money after figuring out the final cost of the project compared to the standard gas powered shingle ladder lift.
Nice project My Friend
Hi Steve. The roofing cart was first built after Katrina in 2005 . There was a massive labor shortage. I picked up all my 155 bundles of shingles in 2005 with a small pickup, via many loads. ie I bought 3 plus pallets of shingles , 42 per pallet and by hand made many trips. The original ramp was made about all of the scrap lumber in my yard from other homes, thus the cost was nill. ie lumber littered my yard., I have about a gallon of screws from docks that washed up in my yard that I had to take part too. The winch was 49 bucks at the Homier traveling tool sale circus tent. ie I had no boom or way to pay another to place shingles on a roof then. Labor was so tight that the local McDonalds had girls from Russia and Ukraine as workers, since no local help.
Since then the same cart has been used on several other projects, even used to lift bricks to fix a chimney too. As for a timeline, the first youtube video was uploaded in April 2005. Katrina was late August 2005. The shingle cart was built in the Fall of 2005. Since the cart, winch and winch brace is all done 13 years ago, I just screw together a ramp for another project.
The store who delivered the shingles in the current 2018 video would not place the shingles on the roof, ie thus this option that everybody has elsewhere was not available. After Katrina, the "stormers" pseudo roofers arrived and would charge 100 to 200 bucks per square and do crap work. They would not even remove sometimes the old shingles, or the old underlayment. After 2 years all the faked in flashing would leak and the cheats were hustling in another state.
3beltwesty I knew there was a great story behind this and I was right... I live in CT and I remember all the "HELP" from other states rushing down there... I remember saying to my wife.. Yeah.. They are going to help... There were going to Rob desperate people... I've seen many jobs like the ones your talking about with the fake flashing ect... I was born into the construction field so I know exactly what its like to have tons of scrap metal, plywood, and framing lumber in the back yard along with all our staging... I've made many projects that I've used on jobs to make it easier.. Some projects only saw a couple of sites and Others I've had for years... As far as all these idiots talking about why didn't you do this or why didn't you do that... They have no way of knowing what the situation was or the reason why you built what you did... That's why I always ask and not criticise without knowing why... Anyway Nice work My Friend.. Lets hope you or anyone else EVER has to endure the disaster that was Katrina
God Bless
Pura pérdida de tiempo!
Good job, smart design for this application.
Simply Awesome....Thanks
How long to set that up?? They make ladder lifts
Roof top delivery or i don't do the roof
You are a fucking genius.
Wtf.? Your fired!
Nice
Why don't you fix the winch so the cable goes left 2 right cable is getting all bunched at at side
Why didn't you just unload the fork lift on the roof?
JPVegh maybe another roofing shingle vender could be paid to due this. Ie they would not stay around even if paid more. Then I would need to spread all those bundles all over the roof to distribute the load and not break any rafters. Ie hire another as a helper or muck around moving 2900 lbs of shingles by myself. After hurricanes the stormers just throw up a 4x8 piece of plywood and place the entire pallet on the roof and hope the rafters hold. Or they just place the pallet on the roof and hope it holds. Ie they are long gone in another state when one discovers the rafters are cracked. The cart in this video was built after katrina in 2005. Things were so screwed up then that nobody would even deliver shingles. Thus one makes many trips with a pickup truck to deliver 150 bundles to my home. Most stormed just banged out roofing jobs and all roofs then leaked 2 years later around improper flashing or none at all
You set it up as a condition of purchase, I've never had a lumber yard refuse the request. Yes you must spread it out over the roof. Several helpers is a must.
3beltwesty your lift is very nifty. You have a nifty lifty... :-)
They at first wanted 120 bucks to deliver that pallet, I got them to go to 59 by waiting a few weeks when they had another delivery in that region.
3beltwesty Lowes for pros $20 delivery and they wait. They have no choice. Sign up is free.
Why not ride the thing down?!?
And yes, I get it. They are heavy!
Watch how close the front wheel is from coming of the track
How much does a single bundle weigh?
they are about 75 pounds
Fuck the roof. You need to redo them stairs. Lol.
Smart
Allthough interesting can't see it being to economical. Considering
Time+labor+metarial and then demo the ramp. Ida popped the dude a $20 to lift it to the edge, then onload.
Raf Zombie That was totally my thought. Most companies do that as part of their delivery lift it up to the roof and you unload or they will roof top deliver for free if it is accessible.
Never stand behind a winch! If the cable were to fail it would whip right over top the winch.
3 real roofers could carry that 10 sq. Up by hand in 20 minutes... and drink a beer
Exactly, 2 would do it no problem
Overkill for that low of a roof. Can divide each packet into 3 and stack them on the roof then get on roof and spread them out. Probably get it done faster than building your sled.
Sled was built after hurricane Katrina of 2005. The winch was 49 bucks from Homier sort of like Harbor Freight stuff in a circus tent that travels to cities.
So the sled and winch gets used over and over on jobs. The 2x4 track material gets reused in other places. In a recent small job of 9 squares i just took up half pack of shingles or full ones depending on what was needed to save the back. Ie easier to carry up full packs in morning than when hot with 119 heat index
In the original project the sled was used for i had to replace sections of decking and did not want all the shingles on the roof at once. Ie had 150 packs of shingles.
A contractor after hurricane Elaina in 1985? Put too many shingles in one spot and cracked 3 rafters. So not crazy about pressing my luck with too much load
How much did u tip driver?
$20 tip by me
Forget about roofing. Go into engineering. The cart is awesome.
good deal after charlie in 04 i had to pick up and carry bundles in 95 degree 80% humidity
only had to do 1/4 of roof 13 sq due to improper install by builders crew worst part was getting the bundles up the ladder it was before my stenosis operation so i could only handle part bundles .rest of roofing was hot and hard but doable and survived irma
but roofers after charlie had too many illegals working they shingled over holes our dryers in this area vent through roof . and they cut the vents off and shingled over them some pluming vents real mess women at work could not get her clothes to dry servic guy found the dryer vent shingled over. cannot believe the price of shingles now i know inflation byt they almost tripled in price shortly after charlie and next yr Katrina and barely went down when oil dropped. smart idea but my sugestion for anyone doing similar bring one load up shingle then go for another load so not going up and down the ladder so many times
They charge so much because they can.
in my 20's ,i would carry two bundles at a time up the ladder
babe tucci pssshh I’m 17 and I carry two shingles up the ladder 😎
so could i, but i'm not in my 20s anymore. at 77 i will use a variation of this method
somehow these young muscle-bound monkeys think they will always be that way. they don't know age and injury will quickly make some of the ways they do things now will be impossible in the future.
I dont get it... when I worked at the lumber yard I had to off load from the forklift onto the roof...
Babba Monsona Probably cause you worked at a real lumber yard. Mom and pop style place correct? Home town feel? Not one of these three big box home centers.
like we needed to waste our time watching the fork lift going down the driveway. This video could have been only 2 min. long and still got your point across.
Forrest Fifer
Link to your video please
Some geniuses don't know how to operate the fast forward. Idiot savants.
YOUR METAL LATTER IS TO CLOSE TO THE POWER COMING INTO THE HOME YOU SHOULD MOVE IT OVER ABOUT 10 FT.
Why didn't you just have the guy on the fork lift raise them up to the eve edge and unload them, maybe 10ft that fork lift would easily reach in that back corner
Probably company policy forbids it. I had Home Depot deliver and the driver had to take a picture of the pallets on the ground.
You should sell your invention to the scrap 😂
Right, spend two days and a bunch of cash to avoid an hours work. Derrrrr!!!! Then the time to disassemble. Its one story!!!!
u should make this a produckt make it so it unfolds and folda and then make it so then motor is able to set on top and easy to unload sell for 99 bucks
jennifer sprague 99 bucks you say?? I think the guy might have spent double that on materials.
I'm using way less wood with a much higher rise.
Could have had 8 up there before the 4
Please post your video of this.
David Leischner Sure will. You see my wife and I are rebuilding a funeral home from 1905.... So I will be sure to post it and let you know as well....
HistoryHunter where’s it at
how much money spend and specially how many hours wasted to built up this ramp.
just put the lift on the of the roof and grab it from there.
30 min.to 55 min. work and that's
it
Said no delivery driver ever,You think they would wait for you to unload?Not 50 Not 30, 10 15 minutes is the most.....
Build the wall lol
Kinda surprised You didnt use Home Depot?
wouldnt it have been easier to have the forklift raise it uo to the edge of the roof and unload onto the roof ??
Waste of time putting tbe roll roofing underneathe the shingles because putting the shingles over just put thousands of homes in the roll roofing..not double protection just double the cost....also next time read the shingle pack on where to properly nail the shingles..
Why didn't you just carry them yourself
have you ever done that? It's heavy. my way is easy 4 pieces of wood and a cart.
Here we got it from a bom truck for 55$ i guess u put more money in you ramp cary it by yourself fucking lazy ass
To dave tremblay. You can't say that you, "got it from a bom truck" and then call him a lazy ass because he used his brain.
U cud ride it down and not have to climb up n down tha ladder 🤫🤔
The winch remote is not wireless but it would have been more fun tho lol
Could of layed plywood down and walk it up..
carry them not that hard
Chip Coyne , once you reach 50 yrs, it's time to start thinking...
For 20 bucks I’m sure the guy would have lifted it to the edge of the roof.
Wowwww.... 😑
Looks like a waste of time and energy
Saves the back and knees.
Lazy and cheap wtf??
It's save your back if you doing this job by your self
Work smarter not harder
Shut ur fkn hole...its supposed to be lazy.
make america great 🤣
What a joke
DBboat2 it's save time and If you by your self from getting hurt
