Roust-A-Bout
The Lift That Turns One Man Into A Crew!
The Sumner Roust-A-Bout enables one man to lift and place loads in tight locations that would be impossible with other lifts. The flexible Roust-A-Bout not only makes the job possible . . . it can pay for itself in days by reducing job time.
This dependable lift can raise a 1,500 lb. (682 kg) load to heights up to 25 feet (7.6 m) in minutes. In addition, the load can be moved vertically and horizontally at the same time. Wider loads (up to 1,000 lbs.) can be handled with the addition of Sumner's Tee Head Extension Bar. The Roust-A-Bout eliminates the need for many other tools such as come alongs, scaffolds, monorails, and swing booms.
