What We Lift
A wide range of heavy and awkward loads — mechanical equipment, structural components, machinery, trees, and vessels. If it needs to go up, over, or out, let's talk.
Every load is different, and the right plan depends on weight, dimensions, lift height, and access. The list below reflects capability areas Elevate handles — call to discuss your specific item and site.
Not sure whether your load is a fit? Send photos and dimensions through the intake form and we will help you scope it.
- HVAC & rooftop mechanical units
- Generators & standby power units
- Transformers & electrical equipment
- Structural & miscellaneous steel
- Precast concrete elements
- Industrial machinery & production equipment
- Tanks & vessels
- Signs & billboard components
- Large trees (crane-assisted removal)
- Boats & marine vessels (coastal recovery)
- Communications / equipment on structures
- Storm debris & damaged components
- The load exceeds forklift or manual capacity
- Placement is on a roof, over a building, or across an obstacle
- Access is tight, sloped, or restricted
- The item is fragile, high-value, or must land precisely
- A crane and rigging plan need to be coordinated together
- Recovery of a damaged, stuck, or displaced object

Project Review
We review weight, dimensions, height, and access to confirm the right approach.
- 3
Scheduling
We coordinate a date and window that fits your site and other trades.
- 4
Site Evaluation
We assess ground conditions, set-up area, overhead hazards, and clearances.

Execution & Closeout
We complete the lift, confirm the result, and leave the site clear.
How do I discuss a heavy lifting project?
It depends on the reach and height as much as the weight. Tell us your load's weight, dimensions, and where it needs to go and we'll determine the right crane and rigging and confirm what's achievable — for lifts large and small.
Can you place equipment on a roof?
Yes, rooftop placement of HVAC and mechanical units is a common lift. Provide building height, the set location, and access so we can plan reach and positioning.
Do you handle fragile or high-value items?
Share any handling restrictions, manufacturer instructions, and placement requirements. We review the rigging and lifting approach for the specific item.
What details should I provide?
Weight, dimensions, lift height, what the item is, ground conditions, access limits, and any overhead hazards. Photos help a lot.
