In central Illinois I paid $300 for a man lift that was good to 75 ft along
with an operator for a three hour period.  The operator played the lift like
a fine piano.  A great deal in my book.

How are the charges for a man-lift device?
Hourly, by day or what?
I would need a 70 foot vertical lift with a 500 lb capacity.
