Abstract
Generally, a transportable lift system operable to capture and raise materials from a first height to a second height. Specifically, a lift having first and second length adjustable supports having second ends pivotally coupled to allow opposite first ends to be secured to a surface a distance apart to allow a line pay-out device coupled to the first length adjustable support to pay out a line proximate the first length adjustable support second end, whereby materials attached to the line can be raised from a first height to a second height.
Claims54
A lift, comprising:
- a first length adjustable support having a first end opposite a second end, said first end of said first length adjustable support having a first mount configured to secure to a surface;
- a line pay-out support disposed proximate said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- a second length adjustable support having a first end opposite a second end, said first end of said second length adjustable support having a second mount configured to secure to a surface of a structure, said second end of said second length adjustable support pivotally coupled to said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- a line pay-out device coupled to said first length adjustable support, said line pay-out device operable to adjust a length of a line supported by said line pay-out support disposed proximate said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- and
- a load capture assembly attached to said line, said length of said line adjustable by operation of said line pay-out device to lift a load coupled to said load capture assembly.

A method of making a lift, comprising:
- producing a first length adjustable support having a first end opposite a second end;
- coupling a mount to a first end of said first length adjustable support, said mount configured to secure to a surface of a structure;
- disposing a line pay-out support proximate said first end of said first length adjustable support;
- producing a second length adjustable support having a first end opposite a second end;
- pivotally coupling said second end of said second length adjustable support to said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- coupling a mount to said first end of said second length adjustable support, said mount configured to secure to said surface of said structure;
- coupling a line pay-out device to said first length adjustable support, said line pay-out device operable to adjust a length of a line supported by said line pay-out support disposed proximate said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- and
- attaching a load capture assembly to said line, said length of said line adjustable by operation of said line pay-out device to lift a load coupled to said panel capture assembly.

A method of using a lift, comprising:
- disposing said lift on a surface of a structure, said lift including:
- a first length adjustable support having a first end opposite a second end, said first end of said first length adjustable support having a first mount configured to secure to said surface of said structure;
- a line pay-out support disposed proximate said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- a second length adjustable support having a first end opposite a second end, said first end of said second length adjustable support having a second mount configured to secure said surface of said structure, said second end of said second length adjustable support pivotally coupled to said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- a line pay-out device coupled to said first length adjustable support, said line pay-out device operable to adjust a length of a line supported by said line pay-out support disposed proximate said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- a load capture assembly attached to said line, said load capture assembly configured to couple to a load, said length of said line adjustable by operation of said line pay-out device to lift said panel coupled to said panel capture unit;
- securing said first mount coupled to a first end of said first length adjustable support to said surface of said structure;
- adjusting length of said first length adjustable support;
- pivotally rotating said second length adjustable support in relation to said first length adjustable support;
- adjusting length of said second length adjustable support;
- securing said second mount coupled to a first end of said second length adjustable support to said surface of said structure;
- operating said line pay-out device to adjust a length of said line supported by said line pay-out support disposed proximate said second end of said first length adjustable support;
- capturing a load with said load capture assembly;
- and
- lifting said load captured by said panel capture assembly by operation of said line pay-out device.
