Amish Clothesline Pulley Elevator Pole

The Clothesline Elevator helps keep the laundry up and out of reach of curious kids, pets, or other pests that may try to pull off laundry items.

The Elevator Pole is designed to connect to two eye bolts screwed into a wall or post and incorporates a hook for the operator pulley to attach to the elevator trolley. The trolley uses a pin to lock into predrill holes at different levels up to 32".  The two post collars pictured on the steel post are optional.

The elevator pole does not include mounting hardware or the clothesline pulley kit. Click Here to see the large Amish-style pulley kit for up to 150’ spans.

Select an optional two-story elevator kit for laundry basements. This allows wet laundry to be placed on the line at the basement level. The operator pulls the winch up to a second-story balcony porch to remove the load and carry it directly into the home's living areas, without having to negotiate stairways with loaded laundry baskets.

This kit includes the cable, winch, shuttle, and mounting arms to fasten to a post. Order optional post collars to attach to a steel post, or use locally obtained eye hooks to fasten to a wooden post. The post tower pictured is not included, but it illustrates how the Amish added both a reinforcement to the steel pipe and a ladder to the elevator post.

It will require a locally sourced 2" galvanized steel pipe, up to 12' long, for the shuttle to move up and down on. The elevator travel may be shortened as needed by using a shorter pipe and cutting the cable.
