Our elevator hoists are used for lifting an amazingly wide range of items from furniture to roof tiles, grandfather clocks and baths to plasterboard and sheet materials. Removal companies, Building and renovation companies, Roof gardeners. Glass, Air-Conditioning, Plasterboard, Doors and windows, Furniture and white goods, even trees. The list of applications just keeps on growing.

At present our largest unit will lift loads to a maximum height of 27 metres (Approximately 9 storeys), although this height can vary if we have to reach across obstacles.

The furniture hoist load carrier can be opened out from its standard ‘box’ shape to create a large flat area enabling large and bulky items to be carried. In its closed configuration it provides an open top box into which you can place smaller items.

Furniture hoists are available in a number of different sizes. Our smallest, trailer mounted unit occupies a ground area of 2.36 metres x 2.06 metres. While our vehicle mounted units require a space 5.7 metres long and 3.5 metres wide. The machine has to be placed beneath the access point on the building.

Where the elevator is required to be positioned in areas where there are parking restrictions, or on the public highway, it is the hirer’s (The Customer’s) responsibility to arrange for the relevant permission required from the authorities concerned. The permission may be granted in the form of a dispensation or suspension order, or possibly a partial road closure – depending on the location concerned. It should be taken into account that in some situations the above orders can apply to both sides of a public highway to allow the traffic to flow freely and enable the operation to be carried out safely. Most local authorities will require between 7 and 10 WORKING days notice of requirement.

When booking Parking Suspension our equipment is an elevator on a trailer or a small (3.5 tonne) truck. It is not a crane or a cherry picker. We recommend two parking bays – directly below the window or balcony, to be suspended. Any penalties incurred as a result of parking arrangements/obligations being neglected will be passed onto the hirer at cost plus an administration fee.

The actual prices vary depending upon the specific machine required for your job and the location. All prices include our trained operator and are subject to VAT.

Residential customers or those not holding a credit account with us will be required to pay with a credit or debit card on the day of the hire. All charges and costs are subject to VAT.
