Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
Overview
The Drywall Plasterboard Lifter with Wheels is a robust, easy-to-use hoist designed to lift and locate plasterboard sheets up to 11ft high. The stable tripod base with lockable wheels and quick winch operation makes it ideal for internal drylining, ceiling installs and partition work. Hire it now from Breckland Plant Hire — available from our Attleborough depot for delivery within 20 miles or free collection.
What this machine does and where it suits
This plasterboard lifter is built for tradespeople fitting plasterboard on ceilings and high walls. It’s perfect for builders, dryliners, loft conversions and self-build projects where accurate positioning of sheets saves time and reduces manual handling. The lifter keeps both hands free to secure boards, improving speed and safety on site.
Key features
- Capacity to lift plasterboard up to 11ft (suitable for long sheets and high ceilings)
- Stable tripod base with lockable, wheeled feet for easy manoeuvring and secure positioning
- Simple winch mechanism for precise height control and quick adjustments
- Rapid set-up and collapse for transport in a van or trailer
- Lightweight yet sturdy construction for reliable everyday use
Why hire rather than buy
Unless you fit ceilings regularly, buying a plasterboard hoist is an unnecessary expense and a storage hassle. Hiring gives you a professional, well-maintained lifter for the duration of the job without the capital outlay. It’s perfect for weekend projects, short contracts or when you need equipment to cover peaks in workload. If you need the 11ft capacity, try our Drywall Plasterboard Lifter with Wheels, 11FT Portable Drywall Hoist Jack Tool from Breckland — available now and ready to collect or delivered to site.
Operator & safety notes
- Always read the user manual and check the lifter for damage before use.
- Ensure wheels are locked before lifting and securing boards.
- Do not exceed manufacturer guidance on board size or weight; use two operatives when manoeuvring long or heavy sheets into position.
- Keep the work area clear and wear appropriate PPE (eye protection, gloves and safety boots).
- If you’re unsure about use, ask our team for a quick demonstration when you collect — we’re familiar with drylining workflows and can help you get on-site quickly.
