Why Choose a Platform Hoist
Safety
Efficiency
A boom truck or extended forklift requires special training and a license to operate, making it difficult to rent for small jobs. Training and permits require time and money to obtain, causing significant delays on job sites. A material laddervator requires no special training, tools or permits to operate.
Affordability
Boom trucks and roofing conveyors can become expensive to rent for jobs. They are also prone to causing property damage- which can be expensive to repair. Manually lifting materials can result in hefty OSHA fines as well as medical leave and workers compensation claims for accidents. A material hoist is the most affordable alternative.
Portability
A roofing conveyor needs a lot of space to operate. A boom truck is not always accessible on job sites because of its size. Both of these options place material where the truck can reach, which is not always where you need it. A laddervator fits on any job site and requires very little room to operate- making it extremely portable.
Availability
Roofing conveyor and boom truck schedules are often booked out weeks in advance which can delay your job. A material hoist is available whenever you need it. Stop working on someone else's schedule.
Why Choose a Safety Hoist
Highest Quality
Other material hoists on the market are made using low quality parts imported from outside the US, causing the product to break and require maintenance frequently. Our laddervators are made using only the highest quality parts available and are manufactured entirely in the USA. Unlike our competitors, our team’s sole focus is on manufacturing material lifts and accessories, so you know you are getting a quality
product.
Reliable Engines
Other material hoists on the market use cheap engines made outside of the USA. Our engines are supplied solely by Honda, the most trusted name in industrial engines, so you know you are getting a product you can count on. Should something go wrong with your Honda engine, you will be covered under warranty for three years!
Extended Warranties
Other material hoists on the market offer warranties between 30-90 days. We manufacture a product we stand behind and have confidence in, which is why we are proud to offer a 1 year warranty on all of our hoists. We also offer a repair program for the life span of your hoist which makes getting repairs and maintenance done a quick and affordable process.
Exceptional Customer Service
Other companies who supply material hoists often are not helpful after the sale has ended, and their hoists take up to 90 days to be built and shipped out. We have a team of trusted employees who are available every day to help with any questions or concerns you may have. We also understand that, when the need arises, you will want your hoist ASAP, which is why we keep inventory in stock and offer same day shipping on shingle lift orders as well as parts.
Constant Innovation
Our patented electric hoist was the first electric hoist on the market and the only one capable of lifting up to 500 lbs. We also have the largest range of hoist accessories on the market. We are constantly manufacturing new and improved ladder lifts and accessories to add to our growing product line. We take pride in knowing our job is never done.
