Claims18
A drywall lifting apparatus comprising:
- a base for supporting the drywall lifting apparatus on a floor;
- a hydraulic cylinder mounted, at a first portion of the hydraulic cylinder, to the base, the hydraulic cylinder having a second portion movable relative to the first portion through actuation of the hydraulic cylinder;
- a drywall support rotatably coupled to the second portion of the hydraulic cylinder;
- and
- a human lift moveable with the drywall support through actuation of the hydraulic cylinder and rotatably coupled to the drywall support so that a support surface provided by the human lift remains generally horizontal when the drywall support is rotated relative to the second portion of the hydraulic cylinder to allow drywall to be placed on a wall.

- a drywall support coupled to the second portion of the hydraulic cylinder;
- and
- a human lift coupled to the drywall support or the second portion of the hydraulic cylinder,
- wherein the human lift is narrower than the drywall support providing space for the hydraulic cylinder to extend beyond a support surface of the human lift to the drywall support;
- wherein the drywall support is rotatably coupled to the second portion of the hydraulic cylinder;
- and
- wherein the human lift is moveable with the drywall support through actuation of the hydraulic cylinder and rotatably coupled to the drywall support so that the support surface provided by the human lift remains generally horizontal when the drywall support is rotated relative to the second portion of the hydraulic cylinder to allow drywall to be placed on a wall.
