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.
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?

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. |
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? https://www.lowes.com/pd/VEVOR-50-in-Table-Utility-Cart/5015325273 It looks more promising than an adjustable desktop. Rent? Buy, assemble, use once, return?" ..................................
