two ladders, two men and a rope.

one pulling and steadying, the other pushing.

use the ladders as a slide.

Last month I've just lifted 20 sheets of 12mm plywood up 85'

I used 2 Ratchet Tie Downing Strap and thick rope under the strap and wrapped the rope round the plywood again for extra safely
