Self-erecting tower cranes help improve framing productivity by delivering materials directly where crews need them during vertical construction. Instead of relying solely on multiple telehandlers moving materials throughout the site, a self-erecting crane can deliver framing bundles directly to elevated decks, reduce material bottlenecks, improve staging...
In many cases, yes. A self-erecting tower crane can reduce the number of telehandlers needed on a project by providing centralized overhead material distribution across the site. While telehandlers may still be used for ground-level staging and support tasks, the crane can handle much of the...
Rental pricing varies depending on hoist model, building height, rental duration, number of landings, installation requirements, freight and mobilization, and single vs dual car setup. Additional costs may include installation and dismantle, engineering, freight, climbing services, remobilization, and maintenance support. Our team can provide project-specific pricing...
Construction hoists are typically used once projects reach heights where stairs alone become inefficient, unsafe, or impractical for moving workers and materials. Commonly installed on: mid-rise and high-rise construction, multifamily developments, stadium renovations, hotels, hospitals, and commercial towers. In some states, including California, construction hoists may also...
A personnel hoist is designed to transport workers, tools, and materials safely throughout an active construction site, while a material hoist is typically intended primarily for transporting materials only. Personnel hoists generally include fully enclosed cars, passenger-rated safety systems, smooth acceleration and deceleration, interior lighting, emergency...
Construction hoists can service a wide range of building heights depending on the hoist model, tower configuration, and project requirements. Commonly used on mid-rise multifamily projects, high-rise towers, stadium renovations, hotels, commercial developments, hospitals, and industrial plants. Hoists can typically be configured with multiple landings and stops...
The right construction hoist depends on several factors including: building height, number of workers, material volume, schedule demands, site logistics, available power, and single vs dual car requirements. For example, the US-60 series offers 6,000 lb lifting capacity per car, while the NOV 3242 series offers...
Installation timelines vary depending on hoist height, number of landings, site access, crane availability, weather conditions, and project logistics. In many cases, the initial installation can be completed within a few days once the site is prepared and crane access is available. Additional climbing and tie-in...
Most construction hoists require 480V, 3-phase power, 60 Hz electrical service. Power requirements vary depending on hoist model and configuration. For example, US-60 series hoists typically require 100 amp service, while NOV 3242 hoists typically require 150 amp disconnects per car. Temporary generators may also be used...
