How to Choose the Perfect Lift for Your Job

Sumner lift—2118, 2124, Roust-A-Bout™, Eventer / Energized Engines

Choosing the right material lift comes down to matching your load, height, and workspace to a tool that’s built for the job. At Energized Engines—an Authorized Sumner Service, Parts & Equipment Center in Houston—we help contractors and shops pick proven models that boost safety and speed on site. For everyday ceilings and installs, the Sumner 2118 (18 ft, 650 lb) and 2124 (24 ft, 650 lb) deliver the ideal balance of reach and portability. When projects demand serious muscle in tight spaces, the Roust-A-Bout™ (RAB) lifts up to 1,500 lb with single-operator precision. And for event and AV work, the Eventer series provides 16–25 ft of stage-ready lift capacity. Not sure where to start? Our certified team can size your lift, set up accessories, and keep everything serviced to factory spec.
