Can this lift handle 5/8 inch thick drywall?

Is the Pope Catholic? Is a bullfrog waterproof? This thing would several inches of drywall. Nice lift.

Yes. This thing is really fantastic. I've been slowly finishing my basement and buying this made me not feel like I had to rush to do the ceiling work while renting one of these units.

yes. the load rating on the tubing the lift is made of is 400 lbs+..the lift can handle the 5/8 x 12', just make sure you use the roller stop leg so that the lift doesn't get away from you while you load it

Yes, that is the sheetrock thickness that the lift was used for installation of ceiling and upper walls.

I used the lifter on 1/2 inch drywall but also used it to lift much heavier lumber into place also. I see know reason that it should not handle 5/8 dry wall-either 4x8 or 4x12. I found it easy to use and I was putting up drywall on a sloped ceiling (45 degrees) in one place.

Yes it's made to lift a standard 8'x8' cover. Mine is very thick and heavy for winter insulating and it does a great job lifting it. I have had it for 3 years with no issues.

Yes it will work for 5/8" hose and works very well. The answer by William S is exceptionally detailed and should meet all your questions and then some.

I am not 100% sure. I believe the plates are ranges my floor was 5/8" and it worked great.

Hi. If you're dealing with drywall, I used WingIts MAWSD35B24 Master Anchor Super Duty for Drywall, and they work like a dream. They can definitely handle the weight - no problem. Good luck!

Yes! Should fit well, edges allow drywall to be overlapped. The raised edge will give a finished appearNce.

The press boards used in the construction of it is 5/8" thick. I suppose you could mount some fairly light weight doors onto it.

The Fasteners 18 gauge do not have much holding power. If you are building a 5/8" thick board nailed to a 2x4 I do not believe that will work. This tool is better suited for light mouldings and trim work.

My husband used bigger screws than what it came with and made sure they went into the studs not just the drywall. In that case I'd say yes.

I am sure it will work but you need to go to www.sommer-usa.com to buy the 5ft extension rails. Here is the link. http://www.sommer-usa.com/store/p14/5_ft._rail_extension_kit.html . The 1HP can lift upto 1000lb. Maker sure your garage door can not weight more than the requirement buy the sommer. I think you need to buy the rail from this website, not sure they will sell the rail separately. http://www.diy-garage-door-parts.com/buy-online/sommer-550-synoris-garage-door-opener/

I have never seen a 5/8 to 1/2 bearing. If you made a bearing this size the wall thickness would only be 1/16" thick, which would include the bearings. Please let me know what you are trying to accomplish so I may offer an alternative. Thanks, Thom

Yes. You should be okay provided the drywall is that thick. I would recommend hilti toggle bolts instead of regular anchors though.

yes but you must use the correct length of screws and anchors, e.g., toggles. You can't screw directly into drywall.

I doubt it. My experience with that tool on 5/8 Sheetrock was like yours. I would return it to Amazon for refund

highly doubt it, I have a 24' aluminum ext ladder on this and it is plenty sturdy. the bracket mounts to the ceiling, so I don't even know how that one would work.. if you are looking to beef up the lift just make sure you are using stout enough mounting screws and fender washers. The pulley end of the system seems lighter duty than the hook/bracket end. Just make sure to pick a spot in your ceiling to mount this to where you can come straight at it with the ladder. I put mine next to the garage door opener, using up some of the lost space above the garage door..

I would question how stable the lift would be at that height. I used mine on a standard 8 foot ceiling without any help from anyone. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Mine lifted 5 inches. But with the transfer case drop drop it's fine as long as you don't have any other lift. Ex. Shackle lifts. I would recommend a slip yoke anyways, but not necessary
