Easy Roof Lift Device

Big Al i have a hawk .does that stand u bought go high enough to raise my hawk roof? Says up to.. 5'10"..thanks

I have a Project M, so I don't know. I do know that if there's not enough lift, you can put something solid on the floor and then put the speaker stand on top of it. There's more than enough lift to raise the roof on the Project M.

If you want to get really lazy, you can also use a linear actuator in place of the speaker lift so you really can use your pinky finger for push button roof lifitng.

You need a 30" linear actuator a reversing switch and a power cord. With a fleet flatbed, I didn't even need any sort of bracket or extender, it works as is with some rubber chair leg bumpers on the ends of the actuator. For other models, you may need the 40" actuator.

Hi, Rando,
I’m a newbie, not mechanically inclined, so pls forgive the basic question:
How do you measure, to know what the correct length of actuator to get? How did you determine that 30” would work best for you?
I have a new-to-me 2015 Hawk.
Thank you-
