Abstract: A compressor lift for lifting compressors from air conditioning enclosures and replacing the compressors in the enclosures, which lift is characterized in a preferred embodiment by a telescoping mast mounted on a wheeled dolly fitted with pivoting and hinged outriggers for stability. The winch housing of a winch is attached to the top of the mast with a 360° degree rotation and a cable extends from a worm and spur gear-operated drum in a winch housing for selectively winding on the drum and extending from the drum responsive to operation of the worm gear, to raise and lower the compressor. The worm gear drive is typically operated by a hand crank or an electric drill to selectively extend and retract the cable and raise and lower the compressors.
