The Hytile Elevator Stand Complete is a purpose-built lifting aid designed to assist roof tilers in safely and efficiently raising heavy equipment—such as belt elevators, cable hoists, tilecutters, or buckets of mortar—to roof level. Manufactured in Australia by Hytile, a company renowned for its specialised roofing tools, this stand is engineered to reduce physical strain and enhance on-site productivity.
Product Overview
Roof tiling is among the most physically demanding tasks in construction, often requiring repetitive heavy lifting in awkward positions. The Hytile Elevator Stand addresses these challenges by enabling a single operator to elevate equipment to roof height without undue back strain. The stand clamps securely onto a rafter, and a nylon rope is used to hoist the load via a manual lever system. This straightforward mechanism allows for controlled lifting of various tools and materials, streamlining the setup process and reducing the risk of injury.
