A full-blown HD crank-up with cables and pulleys on 2 sides of the tower,
motorized with positive pull-down will take almost 2 cans to do the job. A
simple hand-cranked version with one set of cables will take less than a can.

While cable manufacturers recommend more frequent applications, if you
do it during your annual inspection (You do an annual inspection, right?!?)
then you'll be way ahead of just about every other crank-up owner.
