Importance of Construction Lifts
When employees on a construction site need to safely and quickly use an aerial lift for those high places, they can use an aerial manlift. Hybrid spider lifts can be used with gas when outside work and/or run on lithium batteries when indoors. They can quickly transport a crew standing on its platform to the required working vertical heights. Here are some examples of construction lift uses:
- HVAC work on a building site.
- Repairs to the roof and soffits.
- Painting.
- Changing out or fixing the wiring and plumbing.
- Cleaning the exterior of a building or washing its windows.
- Seasonal decorations of buildings.
- Warehousing
Types of Construction Lifts
Limitations on space, working at a specific height, and the nature of the ground all play a role in determining the type of lift that will serve your needs best. A few examples of the many varieties of construction lifts are as follows:
Atrium Lifts
Atrium lifts can be put to use in a wide range of settings, both indoors and out. The majority of atrium lifts have extended out rig legs built into the base of the lift for stability. Atrium lift rentals in Houston TX are light weight, compact crawlers and can fit through single and double doors with ease.
A 50-60-foot atrium lift at platform height and with a 30-35-foot horizontal lift reach is sufficient for most construction jobs. Renting an atrium lift with a longer spread and higher platform is recommended for exceptional circumstances.
