Lift rental in Løten

Housing estates for commuters

Many who live in Løten work in Hamar or Elverum, and housing estates with detached and terraced houses have grown up in and around the centre and at Ådalsbruk. The houses are mostly two storeys, and common jobs are staining cladding, new gutters, solar panels on the roof or cleaning high windows.

For this, a trailer lift of 10 to 13 metres is usually enough. If you are wondering how high you actually need to reach, we have written a separate guide on which lift to choose. It covers working height, outreach and space around the house.

Old farmyards on the flat farmland

Løten has a long farming history, and many farmyards have older farmhouses, storehouses and large log barns. Such buildings are often taller than they look from the road, especially barns with a barn bridge and a high ridge.

If a barn wall is to be painted, the lift should be easy to move along the wall without too much fuss. A trailer lift of 16 or 18 metres gives good height. If the building stands on soft ground, or you need to get round a corner where there is no road, a tracked lift is easier to move around the yard.

Storehouses and old outbuildings can have rot in the sill beams. Use the lift to reach where you need to work, and do not lean it against the building itself.

On old buildings it is also wise to check that the cladding can take scraping before you start. Old paint can hide rot, and it is better to find that out while the lift is there than after it has been returned.

Trees near houses and power lines

With so much forest in the municipality, large spruce and pine trees often stand close to the houses. Many people hire a lift to prune or top trees that have grown too tall, or to clear gutters that fill with pine needles every year.

An articulating boom lift or a trailer lift with a telescopic arm can reach in between the branches and over a garden or a garage. Keep well clear of power lines. If lines run through the tree, the network operator must be contacted before you start.

Felling itself is risky work. The lift gives you a safe place to work at height, but think carefully about where the branches will fall.

Cabins towards the hills and mountains

In the north of the municipality the landscape turns into forested ridges and cabin areas. There you often find gravel roads with barriers, soft ground and little space by the cabin. A tracked lift can drive over grass and rock where a trailer lift cannot stand steadily, and it levels itself on sloping ground.

In spring there may be weight restrictions on smaller roads during the thaw. Ask the road owner before you order delivery of a heavy lift.
