Lift rental in Hamar

Facades and roofs in the centre

In the streets around Stortorget and the pedestrian street there are three and four-storey buildings right up against the pavement. Here the lift jobs are facade painting, new windows, gutters, signs and snow guards. There is often little space in front of the building, and a lift standing in the street needs good outreach to get past a balcony or a projection.

It is then not necessarily height alone that decides. A boom lift or an articulating boom lift can stand at the kerb and reach in over a roof, while a trailer lift needs more room for its outriggers. If the lift is to stand on municipal land, you must apply yourself for permission to use the street.

Many of the buildings have cladding, cornices and window surrounds that have to be done by hand. It takes time, and you often stand in the same spot for a long while. A lift with a roomy platform and space for tools and paint tins makes the day easier than moving scaffolding metre by metre.

Halls and warehouses in the business areas

Around Hamar there are large business areas with warehouses, workshops and shops. Indoors there are light fittings, sprinklers, ventilation ducts and shelving systems to be installed or checked. A battery-powered scissor lift suits this: it gives off no exhaust inside the hall, has non-marking solid tyres and fits through ordinary doors.

Outside on the same site there may be roof penetrations, solar panels or a facade panel that has come loose in the wind. A rough terrain scissor lift or a boom lift is then a better choice than an indoor scissor lift, as the tarmac around such buildings is rarely completely level.

If the hall has a high ceiling and narrow aisles between the racks, you should measure both the ceiling height and the width between the racks before you order. Our indoor scissor lifts range from 7.5 to 12 metres.

Residential areas, trees and garden work

In the older residential areas there are many large birches, spruces and deciduous trees close to the houses. When branches need cutting above a roof or a power line, a trailer lift is a practical choice for a private individual or a small firm. It stands on its own outriggers, and the smallest can be towed by an ordinary car.

Whether your car has a high enough permitted towing weight, and whether you need BE on your driving licence, is explained in the guide can your car tow a trailer lift. If it is too heavy, we can drive it to you instead.

The wind off Mjøsa and the winter

Hamar lies exposed by Mjøsa, and the wind can get a good grip out towards the water. Every lift has a limit for how much wind it can be used in, and it also applies to gusts. Keep an eye on the forecast before you set aside a day up high.

In winter there is more work with snow on roofs, icicles above entrances and lights to be changed in the dark months. Ice on the ground under the outriggers must be cleared or gritted before the lift is set up.

Domkirkeodden and the shoreline along Mjøsa are open areas where the wind blows straight in. If you are working near the water, you should allow some slack in your schedule.

Collect in Moelv or have it delivered

You can drive north and collect the lift yourself from Gausdal Landhandleri at Marisagvegen 7 in Moelv. It opens early in the morning and is open on Saturdays. Whoever collects gets instruction before the lift is taken away, and the same applies when we deliver.

If you need a larger lift, for example a boom lift or a tracked lift, it usually comes from the main depot in Lillehammer on our own vehicle. Call +47 948 87 000 and tell us what needs doing, and we will find the right lift and the best way to get it to Hamar.
