You may have a job that is ideal for a man lift and not realize it. Worse, you may be pushing yourself or your crew too hard when a rented man lift would save both time and money.
Rental companies make expensive equipment like a man lift affordable, with an hourly rate or a fixed price for longer rentals. You pay a fraction of the cost of owning high-quality construction equipment.
Common jobs where a man lift helps:
- Trimming trees. A very common use. Customers rent a lift to cut limbs off trees for maintenance or before removing a tree completely. Trimming early can protect a nearby building from damage by an overgrown tree.
- Painting buildings. On large structures, hard-to-reach areas are difficult to paint. Man lifts help contractors avoid the serious injuries associated with old-fashioned ladders.
- Pressure washing. Using a ladder to clean high areas of a building is not safe. A man lift gives you a stable platform with room to move and spray, and depending on the building’s height, it can reach points a standard ladder cannot.
- Repairing roofs. Roofs on houses, barns and commercial buildings are often hard to reach without built-in ladders or stairs. A man lift carries you and your tools up together, which means fewer trips, a safer job and an easier repair.
Scissor lifts are also commonly used in the construction of metal buildings.
