Lift rental in Øyer

Commercial buildings in the centre and along the E6

In Øyer centre, around Granrudmoen and by the ski resort in Hafjell there are shops, workshops, rental buildings and service buildings. The jobs here are often bigger: façades, signs, lighting and ventilation on roofs. For work like this a boom lift or articulating boom lift is a better fit, because you can reach over a roof or in behind a projecting section.

The blocks of flats often have balconies on several floors and roof overhangs that stick far out. Then the lift needs to reach both up and out. An articulating boom lift can bend over a balcony and in towards the wall behind, while a straight boom gives the most outreach straight ahead.

Inside halls and larger rooms, a scissor lift is the simplest choice. It takes up little space and goes straight up.

The centre, housing estates and farms

Around Tingberg and in the housing estates up the hillside there are detached houses, terraced houses and smaller blocks of flats. Common jobs here are painting cladding, new gutters, replacing first-floor windows and inspecting chimneys. Many plots are flat enough for a trailer lift of 10 or 12 metres to stand well in the driveway.

The farms in the municipality are spread out on both sides of Lågen, with barns and farmhouses that need painting and roof work at regular intervals. For a tall barn gable, look at the longer trailer lifts. If you are working further north in the municipality, we have a separate page on lift rental in Tretten.

The cabin areas in Hafjell

The cabins in Hafjell stand close together, often on sloping ground, and the access roads are narrow and winding. A large wheeled lift rarely gets right up to the wall. That is why we usually take a trailer lift or a tracked lift up to the cabin areas.

Common jobs are staining and painting tall gable walls, new gutters, cleaning chimneys, fitting snow guards and replacing first-floor windows. Many cabin owners do this themselves over a weekend; others bring in a carpenter or painter who takes the lift with them. If you are working on a cabin in Hafjell, you will find more on access and choosing a lift on the page about lift hire in Hafjell.

When the plot slopes

A trailer lift needs a reasonably level, firm place to stand with its outriggers. Many cabin plots do not have one. A tracked lift is then often the answer: it runs on tracks over grass, gravel and uneven ground, and can be placed where a trailer would never get to.

Our 12-metre tracked lift levels itself and suits most two-storey cabins. If you need longer outreach, we have an 18-metre tracked lift with outriggers. If you are unsure of the height, see the height and outreach chart before you decide.

Plan around the season

Øyer has two busy periods: the winter season with full cabin areas, and the summer with tourists and events. Many want to do cabin maintenance in between, in late spring or early autumn, when the roads are clear of snow and there are few people about.

If the cabin is in an area with a shared road, it is wise to tell the neighbours that a lift is coming. If the lift stands in the road, it quickly gets tight for others trying to get past.

Around big events and during the holidays there is heavy traffic on the roads in Hafjell. Avoid those days if you can, so you are not stuck in queues with the lift in tow.

Collect it yourself or have it delivered

The smallest trailer lifts can be towed with an ordinary car, and the trip from Lillehammer to Øyer is short. Check the weight against your car and driving licence in the guide on car and trailer lift. We deliver the tracked lifts and the large lifts with our own transport.

Whether you collect or have it delivered, we go through the lift with you before you start. Instruction is included. Call +47 948 87 000 and tell us where the cabin is, how high you need to go and what the driveway looks like.
