The metal lifts are red, have three 30 inch legs with casters at the base, horizontal bars at the top to hold the drywall and a telescoping post that can extend vertically to a height of 11 feet using the manual crank. The drywall lifts can fail during use causing the load of drywall to fall onto the lift operator, posing an injury hazard.
