Lifting water heaters.

[Master Plumber Mark]

Here is a pallet stacker that would suffice for 500 bucks... I like the price better
than the hero too lifts up to 880 lbs

Where I am most of the houses have basements.

Some of those carts would make the stairs harder instead of easier.

dead lifting heaters onto 18 in high stands in garages....
those are the problem...

basements are another issue---I am taking out a 80 electric up a flight of
stairs tomorrow morning and installing a 55.... The Stair cat lift will do it
for me... I will take pictures


I am gonna be doing a 40 gal gas in a garage tomorrow afternoon....
will take pictures of my Mule in action.

Took out this 80 gallon electric today up a flight of stairs and out the door this afternoon...
it was partially full of lime but it was easy peasy..... Now this morning I ran into a glitch with the Mule lifter.. I got it into place and the battery had shorted out and was dead as hell so I had to find another way to lift that pig up on the stand.... I got to go out tonight and get a new battery and hope that fixes the problem....

It is a Wesco, made in USA. The problem is that it's heavier than any of the heaters, and takes up the back of a truck.

Yep, it's a Wesco, but it may redefine "cheap" at the better part of a grand, sometimes more.

Looks like nice piece of kit if you're making much use of it though.

50 Gallon water heater on to 18" high WH stand.

Used a car floor jack. 2'x2' plywood, angled the plywood down to the floor while the jack was at lowest point so I could tilt the unit onto the wood. Leveled wood and water heater, by tilting it level, rolled close to stand, jacked up then slid onto platform.

Did use family members to prevent the unit from falling over, but it was effortless.

Took awhile to figure it out
