Thank you for your question! Reach out to [email protected] for detailed installation instructions.
What is the max load rating, and what ladders manufacturers have approved this use?
TranzVolt's Maximum lifting capacity is 250 lbs. TranzVolt uses our own specially engineered track sections, and is only intended to be used with our specific Tie Down/TranzVolt track sections. Tie Down provides the TranzVolt Pro Kit, which includes all the parts you need to assemble a 28-ft. tall TranzVolt laddervator unit. Additional track sections can be purchased to secure up to a 44 ft. tall unit. This is not intended to be used with any other ladder other than Tie Down's track sections.

Aloha Monday to Tiedown customer service. I appreciate the info.
This a fine operating system. For Godzilla. Price point and lack of mobility will keep this out of the real workers hands forever. Roofers, masons and importantly home owners. This is a niche product for big budget corporations and factories. 😢
Thank you for your feedback! While our Super Steps system may not suit every budget or need, it offers a safe solution for accessing high work areas. We understand concerns about price and mobility and continuously strive to improve.

They've been using these in the roofing industry for decades. Nothing new
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! While it's true that some versions of this type of lifting device have been used in the roofing industry for some time, it's important to note that advancements in technology have allowed for newer and more efficient models to be developed. The TranzVolt Laddervator, for example, uses battery power and a handheld remote for ease of operation, which sets it apart from older gas-powered or corded models. It's exciting to see innovation in the field and the potential for increased safety and productivity.
We got one. They're cool.
Cool! ..how much is it?
You can go to our website and find a distributor close to you.
Anyone have a problem with the belt on the motor not staying on it’s extremely loose
Yea my belt is loose as hell too
Same here
Who else ended up here because it's the one surprise item on an inspection for the home you're trying to buy?😔
Proctor has had this for ever ! Btw - these are way better than the 2x4 jacks ., no comparison . Just crank evenly, be in sync with each other. Can lift beams too..
I have had this for over two years, here's how it works. I drive to a gas station and let's say the price is 3 and they say I get .10 back, NEVER 25 cents. When I get there the price is 3:10. I'm getting back my own money. Now if you're using it for your company vehicle then it's all free money that goes into your account. As long as you have a company card.
huh?
I like how the guy couldnt figure out to tighten the straps and there's about a foot of slack all while the narrator is going on about how its important the straps are tight
Where can I find the Gator bracket/End Bracket? I searched with no results.
This system is not good. I had this type come with my 2019 house and we had winds get up to 90 mph and the house flipped because of this system. Y'all need to create something better and something that will rooted deep in the ground and that can hold a house down in high winds.
Thank you for sharing. I have been looking for s system that will deal with earthquakes since I live in California and we just had another earthquake earlier this week. If this wouldn't stand up to wind it is not going to stand up to earthquakes.
Appreciate this information, thank you so much
Was the Zip Base tested when rotated 180 degrees so the short edge was away from the 200 pound force?
Permanent Foundation. How about describing HUD/FHA/VA permanent foundation explanation?
Sweet
The red wall jacks used with a 2x4 looks much more simpler to use and much cheaper to buy.
except when you have a 20 ft wall and you don't have to leave the ground with these. the red jacks would be impossible.
Dewayne M well yea but most people never build a 20 foot wall 8 and 10 foot are the norm in most home construction.The tallest I have built were 14’ they set on a course of block for a garage that had to match the house wall height, we lifted those by hand it was a M.F’er though, those jacks would have been handy to have then.
For easy google translation, we have the video script listed below. Heavy duty, powerful, and made to last. The TranzSporter Platform Hoist will make your next roofing job faster, easier and safer. It’s ideal for lifting shingles, solar panels, roofing felt, insulation, lumber, and other building materials. The TranzSporter Platform Hoist is shipped in three boxes and one track-section bundle. The collapsible carriage comes with cam bearing track engagement system for better tracking and handling also features an aluminum deck and flap for lighter weight and longer life. A rolled goods/plywood bracket comes with unit and pins into carriage. Each model comes with three 8-foot track sections and one 4-foot base section for a total overall height of 28ft. For heavier roofing materials, the TP400 is available. Both TranzSporter models may be purchased with either a Honda, Lifan or Leeson electric engine. TranzSporter also offers optional accessories sold separately. First, assemble the carriage by following the assembly instructions included. Remove the base section from its box and place on a clean floor or assembly area. Remove the top cap with a 9/16” wrench - there is one bolt/nut combo on each side. Starting at the top of the track section, slide carriage assembly onto the track so that the four rollers connect to the top rail of the track section. “Roll” the carriage assembly onto the base. At this time, lock the base in place using the Safety Pin. Lay one track on a flat floor with the “front” side up. Attach splice plates to the bottom section of the track. Splice plates are mounted on the outside track section. Slide the top section track into the grooves on the inside track and attach with 2 nuts and bolts per side. Reattach the top cap to the end of the last section of track section you intend to use. Assemble with the two carriage bolts with keeper nuts provided. Make sure the top cap end slides into the outside of the track section. Turn the hoist on its side, and working from the back, remove the end of the cable from the drum. Feed the cable end through the pulley as shown above, and down the front side of the track section to the back of the carriage assembly. Attach cable to the carriage assembly, pass bolt through lock washer, washer and cable eye/end. Tighten bolt. Raising the hoist requires three contractors. Look above you to the left and right and all around to locate and identify any and all power lines before lifting. When raising the hoist, keep track sections clear of all electrical wires and equipment, and be aware of overhead objects. Lay the platform hoist on the ground near the building wall. Tie rope to the top cap. Have one contractor pull the rope from the roof while another raises the base shoes from slipping. The third walks the hoist up hand over hand by the track runs. When the hoist reaches a vertical position, carefully rotate the unit 90-degrees and move the bottom of the base unit away from the building by a quarter of the height of the building. Secure track sections to the roof, but do not use rope or any other object that may interfere with the platform or carriage. The best option is to use the TranzSporter Stabilizer. The stand-off allows for proper mounting to the eve of the roof and prevents costly damage to gutters. Next, attach the engine assembly to the base unit while the engine is off. Mount the motor assembly to the base unit from behind the hoist. The foot pad of the motor base slides under the track base section, while “hanging” the motor base. The motor assembly arms must fit outside the two retainer rings. Before starting the engine, align the “V” belt to the large pulley on the base. Then slide the belt under the belt guard longways to the motor base. Slide the brake handle over the brake arm and tighten the thumb screw provided. Brake handle can be placed on either side of the hoist. Prior to starting the engine, check all oil levels. The oil crank case must be filled with approximately 15 ounces of oil. On the Lifan Gas Engine, the gear is already filled, but not the crank case. On the Honda Engine both gear and crank case must be filled before use. Next, fill with unleaded gasoline. To start the engine, the choke and throttle should be all the way to the left. Next, turn the fuel line on. On and off are clearly marked on the air filter. And lastly, turn on the red knob or the on/off switch. Adjust the choke until the engine idles correctly. Engines should always be in full throttle when raising materials. Before each use, carefully inspect all parts for wear or damage. Do not allow anyone to operate the TranzSporter hoist who has not been thoroughly and properly trained in the correct operation and use of this hoist. Make sure to read all warning labels and call Tie Down for replacements if warning labels become damaged or worn. Prior to raising the platform, remove the locking pin from the carriage, and place it in the pin holder underneath. In order to raise the TranzSporter platform, face the hoist standing as far back as possible. Place your foot on the foot control brace to engage the engine to drum belt. This permits the collapsible platform or carriage assembly to roll up the track section. When the collapsible platform or carriage reaches the top cap, release your foot immediately. This will automatically apply the self-energizing brakes. Move away from the hoist while the load is being removed from the platform or carriage assembly. To lower the empty platform or carriage assembly, first make sure there are no materials left on the carriage. Then grasp the brake handle. A feathering technique must be used. Feathering the brake involves lifting the brake handle up which disengages the brake and then lowering the handle which engages the brake. Use this feathering technique multiple times as shown here to safely lower the empty collapsible carriage. Lower the collapsible carriage to the ground at a slow speed. Use the proper Tie Down equipment. If you are not securing your cargo with the proper safety straps, it could come loose during lifting, resulting in injury or death. Center flat panel loads onto the carriage and attach safety straps to slotted tie-down points. Do not hook your tie-down straps to the plywood. Straps must pass over the top. Secure your safety straps to the carriage top flats slot ted holes and to the plywood brackets only. Check all tie down connections. Safety straps may come loose during transport. Always check strap for damage or wear and replace when damaged or worn. Maintain a manageable speed - the wind’s effects on sheets of plywood or panel goods, as well as the higher center of gravity, can make hoisting difficult and dangerous. Never apply the brake abruptly. Continue to decelerate the platform as it nears the ground to prevent damage to the collapsible platform and stop bracket. Do not use the hoist to lower materials. When you’re done using the TranzSporter and the job is complete, you can remove the engine. Before lowering the hoist, look above you to the left and right and all around to locate and identify any and all power lines before. Carefully lower the hoist, unbolt tracks and remove slack and the cable. Make sure to pin the collapsible platform or carriage to the base section in order to prevent any movement of the platform during transport. TranzSporter by Tie Down Engineering is the number one selling platform hoist in the industry. Designed for the construction crew and safety in mind. It can streamline your production efforts, aid in quick and safe installation and make your job easier. Remember SAFETY FIRST. Tie Down Engineering’s TranzSporter: a great way to get the job done.
Were to buy, and how much ?

I have no hurricane tie downs on my house
Now you've scared me. Before today I have never heard of tying down mobile homes, except when I lived in Guam, which is subject to typhoons. There, a study after a major typhoon showed that mobile homes secured with tie-downs were able to sustain storms better than regular homes. Anyway, I now have to do some research to see if tie-downs are required in my area.
Even if they are not required, it is a very good idea to do it.
I don't think that it would be permitted in. most read. They're such eyesores.
Quabledistocficklepo Always ask as it is your home. If it has decorative skirting or what ever, it'll never be seen. Besides, if your in the states, I'm pretty sure its a law to be anchored.
I believe that there are different standards. One way is to secure the carriage of the mobile home. That is not visible because it's below the mobile home. Another way is to run cables over the mobile home. That's better protection for hurricanes but is very unsightly. Maybe its setup to attach the cables only when storms threaten. I hadn't thought of that until just now. Anyway, after asking around, I haven't heard anyone say that this kind of protection is require in any part of California.Such requirements probably apply only in "hurricane alley."
Quabledistocficklepo Ya I don't know about your mobile home, but newer homes (ours has it and is a 1994) have areas down where the skirting attaches for a vertical pull and an angle pull to the frame. That does the same as over the roof so it isn't seen. Besides, a strong enough wind will blow walls and roof away anyways even over the roof types unless it is rated for wind 2 or 3.
Strap insulation needs to be less than 50 degrees or less
wrapping the strap around the frame is not proper according to HUD guidelines and 15c.1
kitty omg
kitty omg
i just bought them.i just waiting for the man to insult them
how long does this take to put tie downs on a manufactured homes
couple of hours
Come on, be realistic EACH tie-down probably takes a half hour or an hour each, and there must be several per home (depending on how large/long the home is). This is no lego project. And it appears the person installing has to have the skills to figure out all the angles and the tools to properly install them
Ummm they just showed in the video. Its not exactly rocket science. We made an adapter for a post hole digger and screwed our own anchors in. Besides, screwing a anchor into the ground, your angles are off anyways from hitting rocks, roots or whatever. That is why they say 45-50 degrees. It is impossible to be perfect.
Great information! Thanks
