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?

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.

Iam 5 foot 4 inches , weigh 138 lbs 68 yrs old ,  put my Samsung OLED TV 65 inch on the wall. First I screw the  metal that will latch on the half part of the bracket, then attach the other half of the bracket to the tv. Then I took I small table to rest the tv  if I run out gas to lift it. No problem the tv went to the wall. My brother was shocked when he came to realize I did it my self.where do you live I can help if you live nearby.

I'm impressed with your confidence and ingenuity, jayctoy.  I am close to your age, but would not attempt to do what you did, good for you!  

that is good info regarding all that is needed for the rented material lift, that makes the utility cart appear like the best choice so far.

I took another look, it goes up to 50" high, so perhaps I was wrong about needing two piles to get higher, but access to reach thru somehow and plug in both power and signal will be needed, and I like my idea of using bookends in place on the lift to keep the bottom from kicking out from the wall.

Maybe something like this will work?

It looks more promising than an adjustable desktop.

Rent? Buy, assemble, use once, return?"
