Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?


As TV’s have become insanely large and heavy, it’s getting harder and harder to find a friend to come help.. I’ve exhausted all my helpers and need a tool move my 85 in Sony (110lbs) by myself. All I need to do is add an Apple TV. Quick and simple and not worth calling a friend again. 

Surely someone has a tool, jack, or lift for quickly lifting a TV on the wall. I was told a Drywall Lift may be what I’m looking for but those sure are big. 

Anyone else had any luck with something like this?

Maybe something like this will work?

It looks more promising than an adjustable desktop.

Rent? Buy, assemble, use once, return?

It is shown all the way up, OP would need something stable on top of it, to have it reach the bottom of the TV which is higher than that, and then get high enough for access to the outlet behind the TV, thus two steady stacks of ____? with space to reach in and position the power adapter, tie off the cord slack, ....

Maybe place some bookends on whatever ends up being the top surface, so when the TV’s weight is on them, they keep the bottom of the TV from moving forward away from the wall.

don't forget the essentials

wd40 and duct tape!

 

I have a Pass Labs XA30.8 that lives on top of an entertainment armoire. Went to Home Depot and rented their material lift. U-haul next door and got a six foot box trailer for the day. I know it's a lot if you're not set up for it, but thought I'd pass that along.
