Video

My knees are aching just watching this.

As a firefighter, I rode one to the top of the head house on an alfalfa mill fire. It was just on the silos, so no floors in between, just bottom and top, and it wasn't lit in between either. Halfway up and its pitch black. My mouth was so dry by the time I got to the top, you could have struck a match on my tongue.

I call that a vertical escalator.

Nothing like cobwebs all over the mechanizations of the elevator which could easily kill you

wonder if anyone has tried to do a full lap without getting off

Used them in power plants in Ohio what fun

Rob here...nice Mopar...

That’s a plastic top I’m looking for hard

Legend

Just did it by myself. I’m 5’9” 200 pounds and it was very very awkward but once you plant your feet down on the ground and just hold that lift you can tell you got it. Just get to the grass spot you wanna lay it down at quickly and smoothly lol. Tips I learned: start from the front of the top (by the seats area) push up to get it loose and slide it slightly forward to avoid it dropping back down into the holes. Then slide your butt and get it right behind the back windows area and scoot forward until you can firmly plant your feet with your arms straight up and stiff but ready.

I was a caretaker of a closed seed processer for 10 years & there was evidence of manlifts in areas of the 2 buildings. I remember a sign on the wall indicating that the next floor was the last & to prepare to Get Off!

Many power plants/ paper mills still have these…

Co-op Rice mill in Sacramento has these

Just took my Lid off. So happy I found this video. Not all heros wear capes

Well not hard if you're a tall man

GO work at AEP in the power house

Like a CHAMP!

He used to strip cars 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Used one in the 90's... tough to override your brain and step on.

Awesome! I've only seen one in the opening of the movie The Driver.

Big Gain isn’t it? 😂

We had one in general foods England but it was shut down after an accident in Germany. Always on it, loved it.

Should have just replaced the latch actuator..... I just did that this past weekend..... Shorted wires are asking for trouble

God bless you but my goodness that is a hideous paint job

I had a dream about something like this in some type of machine shop or factory. It freaked me out enough to remember the dream even years later. I didn't know that they were a real thing or even existed in real life. You could not ever pay me enough to get anywhere near one, and I have ridden man lifts offshore from oil platforms to ocean vessels no problem.

After I got my Rubicon 4-door 4xe 2022, I spend weeks and months watching different lift kits, DIY designs, and hoists mechanism. Ya, they all were very tempting Just like every new bee, I spend a lot of time and money on all that <what a waste> Now, I regret I'm 6ft 180lb and @Steve you are amazing. After watching your video a couple of times, I learn the steps and dare to lift it and hell ya, I did it. As soon as I got it above the shoulder, it become a piece of cake. Thank you so much for sharing the trick.

Yeah he’s a good horse

Just seen one of these in Reno Nevada at the silver legacy parking garage. I was like WTF is that!

With my luck I’d drop it and bust it into a bazillion pieces lol

I was going to attempt this but found out I was too short lmao. Fml.

Yes! You are the man buddy!

Going down looks so sketch

Wow!

I would *NOT* trust that sketchy ass lift to go down! Bout to have my fat ass falling a couple stories to my doom 😂

Love this video, he goes straight to the point!!!

This changes a flat tyre without a jack

I rode one of those for a while when I worked at Malteurope in Winnipeg Manitoba

Love rio

I worked in mills all over the country as a Electrical contractor. Used these all the time, easier than taking the stairs all the time. bring them back!!

By the look at those clouds, hard top installing up very soon

I knew people telling me you need 2 people were just weak.

Guys this is Steve... Give him whatever he wants!!! 😂

I am 5'8 and struggled a couple hours trying to rig a pulley system and ratchet straps to take off and put back on, spending 75 bucks. Pain in the arse evening each strap equally and finding a good place to hook each strap. Decided to look it up and the first video I selected to watch (yours) solved it for me. Thanks

You made me just feel like a bitch.

This guy should do jeep commercials he makes it look so easy.

A plant that I work in the most (by virtue of it being from the 1960s) has one of these and I've never seen it move. Which is a shame, because I have a deep primal urge to ride it.

ok but what da dog doin 2:14

So nice 😍 but isn’t it a Plymouth trailduster !?

This is something you'd see in a Portal game lol

Nice work!
