Lift rental in Våler

A forest community with long distances

Våler is a typical forest community: pine heaths, sandy soil, farms along the river and buildings spread out. The distances between houses are large, and many have a long driveway before they reach the house.

That makes it easier to plan with a lift that stays with you for a while. With a trailer lift you can do several jobs on the same trip: the house wall, the garage roof and the trees at the edge of the plot, without ordering again for each one.

Many farms in Våler also have a farmhouse, storehouse and farm building in the same yard. Plan the order before you start, so you move the lift as few times as possible and avoid driving over lawns and flower beds several times.

Sandy soil is not the same as firm ground

The sandy plains of Solør drain well, and most driveways dry out quickly. But dry, loose sand does not always give good grip. An outrigger placed directly on sand can sink a little when the lift swings out with a full load.

Always put ground boards under the outriggers, and avoid edges towards a ditch or slope. On lawn and moss that hide soft ground, a 12-metre tracked lift may be safer. It levels itself and spreads the weight over the tracks.

Detached and terraced houses around the centre

Around the municipal centre are housing estates with detached houses and some terraced houses. Here, lift jobs are mostly painting cladding, replacing gutters, cleaning roof tiles and washing first-floor windows.

You can manage most jobs like these with a trailer lift of 10–13 metres. The smallest at Flisa is the Dino 105TL, which is easy to move around the house. If you need to reach a tall gabled house or over an extended veranda, the Dino 180XTB is a better choice. If you want to learn the lift before you start, the guide on how to use a trailer lift is a good introduction.

Cabins by forest lakes

In the forests east and west of Glomma there are cabins by lakes and bogs, often at the end of a forest road. Typical work is staining log walls, new bargeboards, chimney flashing and pruning trees that stand too close to the roof.

Forest roads can have barriers, loose gravel and little turning space. Ask the landowner or road association whether you may drive in with a trailer, and check that there is room to reverse the lift into place. In spring there may be weight restrictions on such roads while the frost thaws.

Collection at Flisa

At Gausdal Landhandleri, Negardsvegen 22 in Flisa, we have the Dino 105TL and 180XTB trailer lifts, a Genie GS-1932 scissor lift, site cabins, scaffold trailers and a plate compactor. The depot's phone number is +47 413 78 447, and it is open Mon–Fri 07–17 and Sat 09–15.

You get instruction when you collect. If you need something that is not at Flisa, such as a boom lift or an articulating boom lift, we drive it from Lillehammer.

Between Flisa and Elverum

Våler lies midway between two places we cover. If the job is closer to Elverum, it may be just as easy to have the lift delivered there, and the page on lift rental in Elverum has more about conditions there.

Otherwise, the easiest thing is to call and tell us where the job is. Then we will work out whether it is better to collect at Flisa or have the lift driven all the way to you.
