Hello, David.
Many thanks. I did look at genie's web site, but hadn't pursued details. We would need some kind of platform to accommodate objects to be lifted -- presumably such a platform would be customized to specific needs? Appreciate the heads-up re rental vs. purchase. Getting an idea of the acquisition cost would be helpful.

Hi Pamela,
I would recommend the small electric genie scissors lifts - they are also useful for changing out light bulbs in ceilings, rigging and hanging larger art work and objects. I have often used them to inspect and maintain outdoor architecture and sculptures.
I would advise that you rent one first and try it out for a couple of days to make sure that it will be a good fit for you before you invest in one. You should look into the economics of long-term rental vs. purchase.
Cheers!
Dave

Hello all --
I am seeking recommendations for small lifts -- something that can
carry a person and objects or boxes to high shelves or cabinets,
in a 12-foot high space. Any insights on successes or failures
would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Pam
