Lift rental in Lom

The Lom depot opened in January 2019, in response to a growing need for local lift rental in Lom and the surrounding area. We are based at Gausdal Landhandleri in Lom (Stupulvegen 13) — our base in Gudbrandsdalen, and the only rental company with a local presence in the valley. Here you can collect trailer lifts (Omme 1300 and Dino 180XTB), a scissor lift (Genie 1932), a mini excavator (Kubota KX019-4, 1.9 tonnes), a plate compactor and scaffold trailers. You buy locally, get instruction on collection, and we can also deliver and collect the equipment for you. The contact person in Lom is Ole Rune Skansen.

The equipment kept in Lom

In Lom we have chosen equipment that covers most jobs in the valley. The trailer lifts Omme 1300 and Dino 180XTB reach the eaves and ridge on houses, barns and most cabins. The scissor lift is mostly used indoors, in shops, workshops and community buildings.

The 1.9-tonne Kubota mini excavator is small enough to get into a farmyard or a cabin plot, and suits trenches, drainage and water and sewer work. A plate compactor and scaffold trailers are also kept here, so you can handle groundwork and facade from the same place.

Lom and Bøverdalen: tall houses, short summers

In Lom many of the buildings are old farmhouses, storehouses and barns, while the centre has accommodation, shops and commercial buildings that receive many visitors in summer. Along Bøverdalen and up towards Sognefjellet there are mountain farms and cabins.

The season for exterior maintenance is short. When the snow melts and the ground has dried out, many want to finish the roof, the staining or the window replacement before the tourists arrive. So book the lift early if you know you will need it in May or June.

The winters are long and snowy, and on the mountain farms ground frost and the spring thaw can leave the ground soft well into June. Wait until the farmyard has settled before you set up a heavy lift, and put boards under the outriggers where the ground is soft.

Lift rental in Lom for the whole of Ottadalen

From Lom it is a short distance to the neighbouring municipalities. Many collect here and drive to Skjåk or Vågå, and some make the trip down to Otta. You can also have it delivered, and we collect the equipment again when you are finished.

Many roads up to mountain farms and cabins are narrow and steep. Check that your car has a high enough maximum trailer weight before you collect, and that there is a flat spot by the house where the lift can stand with all the outriggers out.

Talk to Ole Rune

Ole Rune Skansen handles rental, transport and maintenance in Lom. He knows the valley and which roads and plots are difficult. Call +47 941 71 111, tell him what needs doing and where, and you will get advice on the lift and on whether it is best to collect or have it delivered.

The collection point is at Gausdal Landhandleri at Stupulvegen 13, open Monday to Friday 07–17 and Saturday 09–15. You get instruction when you collect.

Rental in Lom: when you need more than what is kept here

If you need a bigger lift, for example a boom lift or a tracked lift for a steep cabin plot, it comes from the main depot in Lillehammer with our own transport. The same goes for construction heaters, site cabins and larger excavators. See mini excavator rental for more sizes. Let us know in good time, and we will plan the transport.

See the full range in the product catalogue, or call us and we will help you choose the right equipment for the job.
