Quoted from LukyDuck:Do you by chance have a model # you recommend? Looks like they make several different models at a variety of prices.
I am interested in knowing more! Thanks!
I use the RLA-EW. You want the one with the removeable lift (hence the R in the model). Then you choose Hand crank(RLA-HC) or electric winch(RLA-EW).
It really just depends on your needs and your budget. Finding one used would have been awesome but they don't come up much in Canada. In your case you may have better luck.
flipnoutpinball sells them on their web site. I also got an additional self-retracting strap, the big toe-plate attachement, the big wheels, and the pinball plate attachment for the lift. Once again I went all in but it really depends on your needs. I have used it for things other than pinball. I've lifted jukeboxes high so I can work on them without being bent over or lying on the ground. Moved pinballs around in the basement(on the legs - no need to remove legs or fold). Brought heavy things up and down stairs by myself. Helped friends move heavy things in-out of their house. It's really an awesome tool and with my bad back it was not really an option. Kids have moved on and out. My gf isn't able to help with heavy things. Even if pinballs eventually go the escalera will stay lol.
