Saw it on TV, its on wheels with two forks and operated with a crank and rope telescoping system much like a drywall lift. You could push this thing around and could lift from the ground level to about 10' high much like a drywall lift but perfect for heavy beams. What is this thing called and is it on the web for sale?
manual forklift?

You may be talking about a duct jack (tinner's hoist)

Hey thanks DanG and Robert ... those are the ones.
I have a device called a Genie lift that does this, but it doesn't have ropes, it has cables.
