How it works
HVAC Crane Lift Service
HVAC crane lifts in Woodstock are planned around the unit, not the crane. A rooftop package unit, a split condenser or an air handler each has a different weight, a different centre of gravity and a different landing point on the roof. The crane class is chosen from the unit weight at the required radius, and the setup position is chosen from what the lot can take — a driveway, a laneway or a gravel pad beside the building.
Crane lifts for rooftop package units, split-system condensers, air handlers, make-up air units and curb adapters. The crane is matched to the unit weight and the pick radius, and the lift is coordinated with the mechanical crew doing the changeout.
A rooftop unit cannot be carried up a ladder or through a stairwell. It has to be lifted over the roof edge and set on the curb in one piece, and the crane has to stand somewhere the outriggers can be fully extended without blocking the street or sitting on a soft lawn.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The crane is sized from the unit weight at the required radius, not from the unit weight alone. A unit that weighs the same as another but sits further from the setup position needs a larger crane because capacity drops as the radius increases.
Yes, with a spreader bar and slings set so the unit stays level and lands flat on the curb. The crane has to stand far enough back that the boom clears the ridge and the outriggers clear the driveway.
The crew on the roof controls the landing and confirms the curb is ready before the unit comes over the edge. The crane operator controls the descent and holds the unit steady while the crew sets it.
On the driveway or a firm pad beside the house, with the outriggers fully extended. A soft lawn or a gravel shoulder may need cribbing under the outrigger pads before the crane can be set up.
Yes, if the units are on the same roof or within the crane's reach from one setup position. Multiple units on separate roofs usually mean moving the crane between setups, which is planned into the lift day.
Book once the unit is on site and the curb is ready, so the crane and the mechanical crew are scheduled together. The lift day is confirmed from the unit weight, the roof height and the setup position.
