Lift rental in Brøttum

South to Moelv or north to Lillehammer

Because Brøttum lies in between, you can choose whatever suits your day. In Moelv you collect from Gausdal Landhandleri at Marisagvegen 7, which opens at 06:30 on weekdays and is also open on Saturdays 09:00–15:00. That works well if you want the lift on your tow bar before the working day starts.

Most of the fleet is in Lillehammer, at Hovemovegen 33. That is where you will find the larger machines: boom lifts, articulating boom lifts, tracked lifts and trailer lifts all the way up to 21 metres. Call +47 948 87 000 and we will tell you where the lift you need is.

Farmyards on steep hillsides

Much of Brøttum is farmland sloping down towards Mjøsa. The farms often have their yard on a shelf in the terrain, and the farm building has a barn bridge on one side and full height down towards the field on the other.

This means the same wall can be two storeys high from the yard and four from the back. Put the lift on the flat side if the outreach is enough, and use a trailer lift with good horizontal outreach rather than setting it up on the slope. If that cannot be avoided, a tracked lift is made for sloping ground. The lift chart shows how high and how far out the different lifts reach.

Houses with a view over the lake

Many detached houses in Brøttum are built for the view, with large windows, roof overhangs and verandas facing Mjøsa. They are lovely to live in, but it makes maintenance higher up than you might think: cleaning windows, painting bargeboards and fitting new gutters above a veranda all require you to reach in over something.

A trailer lift with a telescopic arm or an articulating boom is then better than a ladder. The lift can stand on the driveway or the lawn and reach in over the veranda, so you do not put weight on railings and decking.

Remember too that many plots here have a retaining wall or a rocky outcrop right next to the house. Look for a flat, firm spot with room for all four outriggers, and put boards underneath if it is a lawn. If you cannot find such a spot, take a photo and send it to us before you collect.

The church, community hall and public buildings

Brøttum church and other tall public buildings in the village have roofs and towers that are not made for ladders. Jobs such as tarring, flashings and painting the tower require both height and outreach, often from a fixed spot by the church or in the farmyard.

For jobs like these we have boom lifts of 22 and 28 metres, delivered from Lillehammer. Tell us the height and how close to the building you can stand, and we will work out which one fits.

Commercial buildings along the E6

Along the E6 through the village there are workshops, warehouses and agricultural buildings with high ceilings. Inside buildings like these, an electric scissor lift is efficient for lighting, doors and ventilation. It can be driven while raised and has room for two people with tools.

If you are working near the road, you must think about the traffic. If the lift stands in or close to the carriageway, you will usually need a traffic management plan approved by the road owner before you start.

Collect it yourself or have it delivered

Most people in Brøttum collect the trailer lift themselves. Check that your car can tow the weight and that your driving licence covers the combination. When you collect, you get instruction in the outriggers, platform and emergency lowering.

If the lift has to go up a steep farm track, or it is too heavy for your car, we deliver it with our own transport.
