From a squeegee to 300 ft.

  1. Glazing work on a high-rise from an Alpha basket

    2006

    A bucket and a squeegee

    Alpha started as a residential window cleaning company in New York City. Working for larger commercial owners, we saw what height access was costing them: hanging scaffolds, ropes and rigging.

  2. An Alpha lift set up on a city street behind cones

    2011

    A new kind of rental

    We began renting fully operated aerial lifts, a first in North America. Engineers, architects and building inspectors got height access with no rigging and no hassle.

  3. The Alpha A-230 at work

    230 FT

    First of its kind on a US truck

    We were the first to put a German-made Palfinger 230 ft platform on a North American Class-8 truck and rent it all-inclusive: the lift, the operator, the street permit and traffic control.

  4. Alpha truck-mounted lifts lined up in the yard

    USA

    Proven in New York, then nationwide

    Years of New York jobs and client feedback shaped our team, our safety-first rules and the custom attachments that make work at height simpler. National sales offices followed.

  5. The Alpha A-300 boom raised high above the street

    300 FT

    A fleet from 92 to 300 ft

    The fleet kept growing in size and range, up to the 300 ft lift you may have seen above the New York skyline.

  6. The Alpha A-300 at full height

    2021

    Queen of the Skies

    Our 300 ft lift, the Queen of the Skies, helped set up and launch a rocket on a mission to Mars.

  7. The Alpha A-165 at a monopine cell tower

    Today

    Seven lifts, 32 cities

    Seven truck-mounted lifts from 150 to 300 ft, nine branches and 32 cities served. An official IPAF training center and a NATE member since 2022.

Height access, without the hassle.

Up in 15 minutes

No roof rigging to install. The lift is set up within 15 minutes of arrival and your crew gets to work.

No climbing, no rigging

A basket on a boom instead of scaffolds, ropes and suspended platforms. Nobody on your crew has to climb or rappel.

Months become days

Jobs that took months are done in days or weeks, and you spend less on climbers and liability insurance.

One booking, all in

The lift, the certified operator, the street permit and traffic control, all from one company.

We train our operators

Alpha is an official IPAF training center. Every operator is trained on every lift they run.

Part of the tower trade

A NATE member since 2022, working on cell towers, monopines and rooftop antennas.

Aerial lifts from 150 to 300 ft.

Seven truck-mounted boom lifts, each with an operator. Not sure which one? In the city, side reach decides most jobs.

What crews say.

I called at 10am for an emergency facade repair on an 18 story building. By 12:30 they were mobilized to bring my crew up to remove the falling bricks.
BBarry W.Emergency facade repair
Very experienced operators. They operate the larger lifts, and are great for FISP inspections and difficult to access areas.
JJulie G.FISP inspection
Their 250ft boom truck was not only impressive, it was efficient and safe. Their operators made an extremely difficult 130ft chimney liner rig a success.
RRadek B.Chimney liner rig
Phenomenal operating and efficiency. We got to where other lifts could not get us.
BBryan L.Hard-to-reach access
As always, Alpha obtained the street and lane closure permits, showed up on the dot as scheduled, and gave us great access to the building facade.
CChris H.Facade access, NYC
They helped me on an emergency job for a fallen chimney in Brooklyn. They really go above and beyond.
