I have a 3 section CB tower and with a dead man I had no trouble putting it up, the winch worked well.

I did. Cords for lifting is pretty short though. May need to rewire longer one if up high.

Yes, very easy to lift. We use it everyday and we love how easy it is to raise and lower.

hi...this is a low cost lift...i had some trouble getting it...however...it will lift from about 5" to about 18" ...if you were to bolt on a pc of 1" thick plywood as i have done (2ftx4ft) you can lift wider things (lawnmower) the cheapest table is much more money and lifts higher...30" high...this is closer to standing up and working on bikes ect...so in closing good luck.

Yes. We lift ours 12ft. We needed to put 2x6 boards across the trusses to center the system in our garage. Works so slick!

i will have to check and get back with you. i do like the lift no complants. but i don't use it very much. so if you plan on using it alot you may need a heaver lift.

Double Cable. I have mine doubled but I am only lifting about 400 pounds. Hoist handles it fine but I don't think I would try and push 800 pounds to test it.

Yes and you should also give a little extra support with your other hand when raising a bit. This is not a substitute for a decent router lift.

Hi,I attached mine to about a 5'-6' 2x4 first. I spread the 2 sets of pulleys about 18"-22" apart (although you could adjust it differently). I then straddled the set up between my 2x6 rafters. I have easily lifted about 50 lbs. They advertise (I think) a 100lb max. Good luck!Mike

I have the INCRA Mast-R-Lift-II and love it. The Porter Cable 7539 mounts real easy. The system makes it very easy to get accurate height adjustments.

I have had no problems at all. Raises and lowers without difficulty. I had a mechanic install mine.

I think the lift itself would work for holding a rooftop cargo carrier. The straps may be too short to go around the carrier, but if they are, buy longer ones at a hardware store. Good luck!

No, this is not a telescoping stand. It tilts, but it does not telescope. You can pick it up with your hand and hold it as high as you can reach or place it on something else.

Not sure what you mean? It's a lift, not a plate. Check out http://www.jessem.com/MAST-R-LIFT_II.html for details. But it does have a wide range of adjustments for a number of routers. Call Jessem and they may have your particular setting. Otherwise, I'd be pretty confident you can make it work. Again, check the manufacturer's site and instructions and you'll see how flexible it is.The video is very informative as well.

No. Fairly easy. Used the template it came with. Just try to make sure you are screwing into a stud, at least one screw on each side. Because of the way our rafters went, I had to use some drywall anchors. I got some from Home Depot that were rated at 75 lbs. We love the lifts. I installed 3 of them in our laundry room. Allowed us to get rid of the rack we had on the floor.

I won't recommend you to go over the suggested weight, I am using it to lift things less than 500 pounds and I can see it forced so I wouldn't do it unless is a one time thing.

I love this tower, it is very sturdy and although I don't currently use TRX, I have before, I am very confident that the progear 275 tower will support this system for most exercises. The tower although sturdy is lightweight so some exercises may make the tower slide across the room.
