Another option is to rent one for the day.
I have seriously contemplated renting one of these material lifts
before....shouldn't be too expensive.

Hot Damn! I looked (mostly) all over for these; never thought to check
the company Dave's provided. I actually bought most of the parts to
modify a regular handtruck to do this, but haven't got a Round Tuit on
that project yet.
A bit pricey, the cheapest lift starts at $400, but if you've ever put a
Kennedy 9100 four feet up in a rack (on it's slides) by yourself... these
might be a good value.
The category they're in is a bit counter-intuitive: look for them in
"Carts / Casters / Trucks - Lift Trucks - Lift Truck Winch". Of course if
you have lots of bux you can get a hydraulic one, but....
