Many removals companies have sophisticated, highly useful tools for carrying out a move. These cranes and hoists let you reach your heavy furniture and belongings from the floor they are on and lower them straight down to the lorry.
The situations where they are needed are very common: when there is heavy, bulky furniture among your belongings, when the move is on a very high floor and the building has no mechanical access system, or when the weight and condition of the items mean they cannot be moved by hand.
Benefits
Using specialised lifting equipment in your move saves trouble and makes it possible to load items that would otherwise be impossible to shift. Some of the benefits of using cranes and hoists in your move are the following:
- It reduces the chance of your furniture and belongings suffering breakages or damage.
- It lets you complete all the moving tasks in less time.
- It makes it possible to lower items from a high location with no lift, whether because there is none or because it is out of order.
- It allows heavy items to be moved in buildings where lifts are not permitted for heavy loads.
- It removes the disruption caused in a building or community when heavy items have to be moved, which can even lead to accidents.
- It prevents injuries to both the owners of the belongings and the company’s crew.
- It eliminates wasted time and physical strain during the move.
- It allows furniture and items that, due to their size and weight, can only be brought into a home through windows or balconies.
Different Types
At specialised removals companies you can find different types of cranes and hoists, each with a different function. Among them are the following.
Telescopic Hoist
With this type of hoist you can reach a height equivalent to four floors, accessing through the façade, as long as it can be positioned beneath the window or balcony.
Furniture Lift
With this tool you can reach a level equivalent to seven floors, accessing from the façade wherever the opening is, whether a balcony or terrace where the items are located.
Sectional Hoist
This allows you to work up to a height of four floors. It is usually used in accesses where positioning the vehicle is not possible, since it can be set up in gardens, courtyards or tricky spots where it can be assembled for use.
High-Reach Crane
Nowadays there is a crane mounted on a cargo vehicle that reaches great heights, equivalent to eleven floors. This crane has a high load capacity for accessing very high locations.
Why Is It a Good Idea to Use These Tools in Your Move?
These tools are the best option for handling heavy, high-level moves with great efficiency and safety. Their design makes it possible to move large items such as appliances, musical instruments and similar pieces.
Perhaps one of their biggest advantages is the safety they provide when moving bulky items, without injuring anyone or damaging the property.
The design of these cranes prevents the risk of injury to the operator handling them and to the people near the work, whether from the crane itself or from the items being moved.
With these cranes you can reach places and heights that could not be accessed by any other means.
We can conclude that high-reach lifting cranes are the best option for moving heavy items efficiently and safely, such as sofas and pianos that will not fit through doors, stairs or traditional means.
