Garlock’s Versa-Lift 600 material handlers can be set up in as little as 15 minutes. You don’t need a CDL to tow them, special transit permits or an expensive crane driver to operate one. They can lift four-by-eight sheets of material, equipment, gravel, shingles and tile, or offload debris and tear-offs. And because they can place loads so precisely, you minimize second handling.
