Lift rental in Stange

Farm buildings on the plains

The large farms in Stange have barns, grain silos, dryers and machine halls that are taller than most houses. When a barn wall needs painting, a roof needs new sheets or lights need fitting high up on a hall, this is where the lift is most useful.

A trailer lift is easy to move around the farmyard and can be moved between the buildings. With 16, 17 or 18 metres of working height, you reach the top of most barns. See, for example, the 18-metre trailer lift.

Remember that the farming seasons set the limits for many. It is often easier to find time for maintenance on the farm buildings once the grain is in.

Many barns also have old fittings, hatches and bargeboards that need straightening. From a lift you can work calmly on the details high up, without moving ladders around an uneven farmyard.

When the ground is soft

Farmland and farmyards dry out slowly. In spring and after heavy rain, a farmyard or a grassy slope can get so soft that a trailer sinks in or stands unsteadily.

Then you have two options. Put large ground boards under the outriggers, or hire a lift that handles soft ground. A 12- or 15-metre rough terrain scissor lift has large wheels and four-wheel drive, and a tracked lift spreads the weight over a large area. Unsure? Read which lift should I choose or call us.

Housing estates at Ottestad and in Stange centre

In the newer housing estates, the houses are often built on two floors with tall gables. Lift jobs here are typically staining cladding, fitting solar panels, clearing gutters and felling trees near the house.

For houses like these, a trailer lift of 10 to 13 metres is usually enough. The smallest can be towed by an ordinary car, which many private customers and small trade firms appreciate.

Along Mjøsa at Tangen and Espa there are also houses and cabins with plots down to the water. It is often steep and tight there, and a tracked lift can get in where a trailer will not fit. Read more about the 12-metre tracked lift.

Churches and older buildings

Stange has several old churches, among them a medieval stone church, and many older timber houses on the farms. Maintenance on buildings like these often requires careful work at great height, close to masonry or old cladding that cannot take much.

A lift with a long arm and a steady platform, such as an articulating boom lift or a boom lift, makes it possible to get in close without touching the wall. See more about boom lifts.

At a church there is also often a graveyard and old walls around the building. The lift must then stand where it does not damage anything, and that can mean you need more horizontal outreach than the height alone suggests.

From Moelv or Lillehammer

You can collect a lift from Gausdal Landhandleri at Marisagvegen 7 in Moelv, which is also open on Saturdays. Larger lifts, such as the tracked lifts and boom lifts, come from the main depot in Lillehammer.

We drive all the way to Stange with our own transport when you do not want to or cannot collect yourself. You get instruction either way, at the collection point or at your place. Call +47 948 87 000.

If several farms in the same area need work done, it can pay to coordinate. When the lift is in the area anyway, it can go from farm to farm before it is returned. Arrange this with us when you order.
