Lift rental in Biri

A short drive makes it easy to collect yourself

For many people in Biri, the simplest option is to drive up to Hovemovegen 33 and collect the lift with their own car. Our trailer lifts range from 10 to 21 metres, and the smallest can be towed by an ordinary car with a tow bar. How heavy a trailer your car can tow is stated in the vehicle registration certificate. Read the guide on cars and trailer lifts before you decide.

The depot is open Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 16:00. When you collect, we go through the lift with you: outriggers, levelling, emergency lowering and what to do if something stops. If you have never operated a lift before, we set aside a little extra time for this.

Think about the return as well. If the job is finished before lunch, the lift can be back at the depot the same day, so it does not stand unused in the yard overnight.

Farm buildings on the slopes up from Mjøsa

From the lake the land rises steadily, and the farms are spread out with yards, farmhouses and farm buildings on several levels. A tall barn wall that needs staining, or a metal roof that needs checking after the winter, are typical jobs here.

If the barn stands on a steep slope, it can be hard to get a trailer level. A tracked lift is then a good choice. Our 12-metre tracked lift levels itself and can drive over grass and gravel around the yard. It has to be delivered with our transport, so do tell us what the driveway to the farm looks like.

Homes near the lake and in the housing estates

Around Biri centre and down towards Mjøsa there are both older houses and newer detached homes. Much of the need for a lift is ordinary house maintenance: painting cladding, cleaning gutters, replacing bargeboards or mounting a heat pump high on the wall.

For a two-storey house, 10 or 12 metres is usually enough. If you need to reach over a garage roof or a terrace to get to the wall, you need more horizontal outreach. Check the height and outreach chart before you choose, so you do not find out on site that the platform does not reach.

Near the water it is often windier than up on the hillside. Every lift has a wind speed limit. If you feel the platform jerking, it is time to come down and wait.

Cabins and holiday homes on the hillsides

West of the village and further up there are cabins on wooded hillsides. The roads there are often narrow gravel roads, and the turning area by the cabin can be small. A trailer lift needs room to stand with all four outriggers out, and the car also needs to be able to get out again.

Bear in mind that gravel roads can be soft in spring. If the lift stands on a lawn or soft ground, put boards under the outriggers. If you are unsure about access, send us a photo of the spot where the lift will stand.

When you would rather have the lift delivered

Not everyone has a car that can tow a heavy trailer, and our largest lifts are always transported by us. That applies to the tracked lifts, the boom lifts and the rough terrain scissor lifts. We deliver with our own transport, and you get the instruction on site.

Call +47 948 87 000 and tell us where in Biri the job is and what needs doing. If you are working further south in the municipality, you will find more on the page about lift rental in Gjøvik.
