I've been look for one - can you share which one you've used?
those 14" drives are damn heavy :-)
I'll have to look up who manufactured mine. It has a 500# capacity and
can lift a load to about 12' or so. It's counterweighted (400#
counterweight) so it doesn't need long stabilizing legs to keep it from
tipping over (so I can get it right up to a rack).
Places like Global (
globalindustries.com) has stuff similar, but new
they're $800-1000. I picked mine up used for ~$350 and it's been worth
every $0.01 (I wish I had another one).
