Can this be used to put 5/8" Drywall on the wall.

I've lifted 4X12-1/2" to the ceiling, so, I'm sure 5/8"on the wall would be no problem.

Yeah, I Know it can do 5/8th no problem if we're talking 4x8. If you're talking 4x15 then I'm not sure.

Probably. But I would talk to someone at a home store(lowes/Home Depot) or ask a glass store or tile store. I personally wouldn't do it. I would hire someone. It was fine installing on drywall.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it because these are heavy duty. I install 15 inch speakers that weigh 50lbs each. I had to find the stud. Drywall by itself might not be able to hold the weight of the speakers.

Depends on if you are using drywall screws or drilling directly into a stud. But even with the drywall screws the holes in my wall are less than 3/8" diameter each.

The answer to this question totally depends on what kind of wall you're securing it to. My walls are pretty thick and a 1/2 or 1 inch screw will do just fine securing something heavy, but if you have flimsy drywall, you'll need longer screws and anchors.

Yes. I would recommend to screw it to a nice thick board (I screwed mine to a 7/8" thick piece of cypress), then bolt the board to the wall. This way, the board can be screwed to your vertical studs in the wall. Don't even think about using those drywall inserts! FYI - This thing is really nice and you will "FLY" through some potatoes in no time at all.

No way it would work unless you aren't planning to actually store anything inside. No need to drill into the studs because the material the cabinet is made from is basically cardboard that has been glued together. The drywall itself is probably 10-15x stronger than the cabinet.

It will work in dry wall. I still would try to get at least 1 screw into a stud just for added safety.

I've not tried it, but assume if attached securely to studs behind drywall it would work.

Yes. It can. You need to check with your handyman. My husband is a carpenter and installed it in about an hour in our wall that was about 6 inches thick. He added some plastic in the pass through areas.

I've personally use this lift to hang 5/8"x 4'x 8' ceiling. It really saved me time and fuss. I can't say it would be useful on hanging walls, because it was not used for that purpose, in my case. However I've gotten good use out of mine

You can feel a steel stud in a 5/8" sheetrock wall but it will not stick to it. Limited to about 1/4-1/2" of depth.

I wouldn't do it unless you get the heavy duty thru-wall type drywall anchors, not those plastic screw type ones. I mounted mine on a decorative piece of wood that I screwed into the wall studs.

Yes you can . you may want to use a lower speed so you don't damage the Dry wall just go slow and you don't punch holes in the wall you may want to look for the studs to get a stronger holding of the fixtures

Of course you can. Just make sure the mounting materials can hold the weight, and that you mount on to support beams, not drywall.

I would think so. Be sure to secure it firmly to the wall. I only used plain little nails in each grommet on the top into a regular drywall type of wall - no studs, no anchors. I keep packs of construction paper, tissue paper, stickers and coloring books in ours and its been good. Hope that helps.

Yes, that will,work fine. The only thing to bear in mind with drywall anchors is that they are not quite as strong as if you screw the support into a stud. These are not too heavily loaded rhough so should work good with an anchor. You may have to cut the rod down in size if you put the two ends too close together. That is also an easy fix with a hack saw.
