How it works
HVAC & Rooftop Unit Lifts
Rooftop HVAC work in Woodstock usually means lifting over a parapet onto a curb the mechanical contractor has already set. The crane is chosen from the unit weight, the pick radius from the closest outrigger position and the height of the roof edge. Rigging is slung at grade so the unit stays level through the lift.
Rooftop condenser, air-handler and make-up air unit lifts; curb sets on commercial and institutional roofs; replacement picks where the old unit comes off and the new one goes on in the same visit; rigging slung at grade and landed by the mechanical crew.
A rooftop unit cannot be carried up a ladder or through a stairwell, and a curb that is out of level will not accept the unit. The lift has to clear the parapet without swinging into the wall, and the mechanical crew needs the unit landed square on the curb so the duct connections line up.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The unit is rigged at grade, lifted above the parapet and lowered onto the curb while the mechanical crew guides it into place. The crane is positioned so the boom clears the wall without swinging over it.
The unit weight, the curb location and a photo of the roof edge are the starting points. From there the crane class and the outrigger position are confirmed before the lift day.
Yes, when the old unit is disconnected and ready to come off before the new one goes on. The crane lifts the old unit down first, then sets the replacement on the same visit.
The crane is set where the outriggers reach firm ground and the boom can clear the parapet. The pick radius is measured from the closest outrigger position, not from the centre of the building.
Yes, the mechanical crew guides the unit onto the curb and lands the connections. The crane operator controls the lift while the crew positions the unit.
Roof height is one of the factors that sets the crane class. Low commercial roofs and taller institutional buildings are both covered, but the machine changes with the height and the room available for outriggers.
