Moving around your equipment and other materials at a job site can become backbreaking if you don’t have the right tools. Why would you sweat over the little stuff when you can get a material lift to hoist them on your behalf? Working with material lifts saves you a lot of time and human resource costs. Even better, you spend less on injury claims while improving your subcontractors’ work rate and morale.

Material lifts are ideal for any contract work you can think of, but why should you choose to hire one from us at Vandalia Rental?

Reasons You Need a Material Lift

Not every job requires you to have a material lift. Thus, you don’t have to think of purchasing one until your workload demands it constantly. Until then, you can benefit significantly from our hiring options at Vandalia. You save a lot on costs and time spent at a job site.

A material lift can easily fit in whichever truck you use as your workhorse. They are compact but easy enough to maneuver around a cluttered contract site. Better still, they easily fit through a regular single door and fold for when you need to stow them away.

The available units are designed to be easy to use; no tools are required to assemble or take down the material lifts. Depending on your size, you can opt to have an air compressor, CO2 cartridge, or winch system do the lifting. Once set up, you have a versatile tool to help you move and hoist different materials around the worksite.
