Lift rental in Ringebu

Along the E6: Fåvang and Ringebu centre

On the valley floor, shops, workshops, farm buildings and housing estates lie close to the E6. Much of the work here is on flat plots with tarmac or gravel, and a trailer lift or a scissor lift for outdoor use is often what is needed.

Commercial buildings need regular work on roofs, cladding, doors and lighting. On larger halls, a boom lift can do the job faster, because you reach far up and out without moving the machine all the time.

Out on the farms on the valley sides, there are often barns and farm buildings to be painted or re-roofed. The yard is usually gravel, and the ground should be dry and firm where the outriggers will stand. On soft ground, a tracked lift is safer.

Kvitfjell: cabins and apartment buildings

Kvitfjell is known for its downhill course, but many cabins and apartment buildings have been built around the ski resort. The buildings are often tall on one side because they stand on the slope, and there is little space to set up in front of them.

Here a tracked lift is often the safest choice. It makes its way across steep and uneven terrain and stands firm where a wheeled lift would slide. If you need to go high on a large apartment building, we have an 18-metre tracked lift with outriggers.

In apartment buildings with several owners, the board will often need to agree the timing, so everyone knows when the lift is at the building and where it is cordoned off. You will find more about cabin jobs there on the page about lift hire Kvitfjell.

Venabygd and the mountains

Venabygd lies high up, with farms on the valley side and large cabin areas on the mountain above. Winter lasts a long time here, so outdoor jobs are usually done in the summer half of the year.

Many cabin roads are long gravel roads. After the snowmelt they can be soft and unable to take heavy vehicles, and then it is better to wait until they have dried out.

The distance from Lillehammer means it pays to plan. Think through the whole job before you order: how high, how far out, and what else you need. If you are both replacing gutters and staining, it makes sense to combine them in one rental period.

Old churches and listed buildings

Ringebu has a long building tradition, with the stave church as the best-known example, and many old farmyards on the valley sides. On older and listed buildings, it is the owner and the authorities who decide what can be done. The lift is just the tool that lets the tradesperson reach the work.

The advantage of a lift over scaffolding is that nothing needs to be fixed to the building. For churches or other buildings with tall towers, a boom lift or our all-electric 40-metre ultra boom will reach well above the eaves.

What we need to know

For a job 60 km away, good information before we drive helps. Tell us how high you need to go, how far from the wall the lift can stand, and what it will stand on: tarmac, gravel, grass or snow.

Also let us know if there is a barrier, a narrow bridge or tight bends on the road in. A couple of photos from your phone often save a phone call or two. If you are unsure about the type of lift, read which lift to choose.

Delivery to Ringebu

We deliver most lifts to Ringebu with our own transport, and you get instruction when the lift arrives. If you collect a trailer lift yourself, the E6 is an easy road to tow on. Read how to use a trailer lift beforehand.
