Will this work with 12 foot ceilings without needing a ladder to raise or lower it?

You can always thread it with a longer rope if needed. With a long enough rope ,you can mount it any hieght you would like.

We have two of these in a garage with 9 foot ceilings, and the rope plays most of the way out when lowering the kayak to the floor. With a 12 foot ceiling, the end of the supplied rope should come up about shoulder high on a 6 foot person. So still nothing that would cause even a 5 foot person to reach way over there head.

I think so. The pull cord is way longer than I need for my 8 foot ceilings. I have quite an excess of cord, but then where I have it tied down to the wall is very close to where the Kayak is. So I think you need to consider ahead of time where the tie-off on the wall will be as it relates to where you mount the unit on the ceiling.

That doesn't seem to bother the ladder, it may be hard on the little cogs over time operating it that way though? Elevation as far as the main ladder boom is the only thing you must use a crank for, the ladder can elevate up without the crank but has to come down with it. their is a seperate crank one for extending the ladder in and out and one for the up and down boom operation.

Yes - it has about 12 different "notches" that you can use to raise or lower to the height you need.

Sorry can't help. Don't have a tall enough ladder to reach it right now. Someone else installed it for me. Absolutely love it!!!

I don't think it will work - we bought a regular extension ladder, because the Little Giant didn't work.

Yes, convieniently the housing for the light and battery come off with a small counterclockwise turn but unless you're 6 or 7 ft tall you'll need a ladder.

No its not. I too am 6' tall and have ceilings about 12' and own an 8 ft. Cosco ladder. It is too small to give you a stable base to change lightbulbs. You can do it but it is scary. There is another German ladder company that escapes me at the moment that make a lightweight ladder similar to Cosco and it also is cheaper, you can get a model of it that will do the job. I don't remember the manufacturer's name but if you care to send me your email I will be home on the 29th of January and will check it out and email to you. PTLFA@AOL.COM

I have the M22 ladder. In the reduced (collapsed) A frame position, it is slightly shorter than my height, which is 6 foot. This is an excellent ladder, great for 10 foot ceilings.

Yes it is easy to lower and rise. Although tools are required to ensure its secure.

Well I don't know how tall you are, nor how low your ceiling is. I'm 5.3 and need a ladder to pull the cords. Guess it's all relative. But I'd say yes that's how tall it is, looks about that - not climbing a ladder to measure. Sorry.

Yes. We use them for private events they work fine but we have 12' ceilings and any thing higher would be pushing it for effect

its not designed for that and it wouldn't be my recommendation. Gravity would not cause the ladder here to extend. Even if you could get this to work that way it would take so long to accomplish the task. Sorry to disappoint you.

It has an 11 foot reach if the panel is lying flat and a 15 foot reach if upright. It will not work for a 12'5 ceiling unless you can lift the jack. The unit i bought did not come with any extension and i wouldn't recommend this particular lift if your a business owner. It is built very cheaply and is insanely wobbly and squeaky. I hope this helps

Thank you. I am a single woman with a large property to maintain and am afraid of heights so anything that would help me avoid a ladder would be good. I will keep looking for something more lightweight.

How tall is your trailer? Just remember that you might need a ladder to roll this up all the way since I can only reach about 7.5' high and this will go higher than that. The building itself is 12' tall so I would say this would go up 9' feet high, but again you'd need a ladder to unzip it that high and then to zip it back down.

You would probably need to check with the manufacturer. The beam comes with 12" risers.

If necessary you can raise the entire unit 7-8 inches using leg extensions, sold separately for 10 bucks. I did this because I have high ceilings, and it worked like a charm. I really love this piece.
