A full-blown HD crank-up with cables and  pulleys on 2 sides of the tower, 
motorized with positive pull-down will  take almost 2 cans to do the job. A 
simple hand-cranked version with one set  of cables will take less than a can.

    While cable manufacturers recommend more frequent  applications, if you 
do it during your annual inspection (You do an annual  inspection, right?!?) 
then you'll be way ahead of just about every other  crank-up owner.
