Why Boston crews book Alpha.

Brick and brownstone, up close

The operator holds the basket right at the wall, so masons and inspectors work without staging on the building.

Over the roof, not around it

Up to 135 ft of side reach lets the basket clear a pitched roof or a lower wing and get to the far side.

Up to 300 ft

Seven lifts from 150 to 300 ft cover church towers, campus buildings and downtown high-rises.

Room for narrow streets

On most models the outriggers stay within the truck's width: one lane or a driveway is enough to set up.

Your operator, all day

A full-time IPAF-certified operator drives the truck in, runs the lift until you are done and packs it up.

By the day or longer

Book a single day, a week or a longer job. The basket is usually up about 15 minutes after the truck arrives.

Where we take crews up in Boston.

Permits in Boston? We handle them.

  1. Tell us the address

    We check where the truck can park, which lane it needs and whether the job calls for a permit.

  2. The permit is filed by us

    For a setup on a street or sidewalk we handle the application, so your team stays on the work.

  3. A safe zone around the truck

    Cones and flaggers keep cars and people clear while the basket is in the air.

Renting a lift in Boston? Good to know.

All questions →
Which towns are within free delivery?

Anything within 60 miles of Boston: Cambridge, Quincy, Salem, Lowell, Worcester, Plymouth, Providence and Nashua, NH. We also work across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Maine.

Can a lift get over a steep roof to a chimney?

Yes. With up to 135 ft of side reach the basket goes up and over. On one historic building we reached chimneys in the middle of a 45° roof, with no scaffolding, in three days.

Do I need my own operator?

No. Operated rental includes a full-time IPAF-certified operator plus delivery, setup, fuel and insurance. Crews with their own certified operators can take a bare rental instead.

Who handles the street permit?

We do, whenever the truck sets up on a street or a sidewalk. Cones and flaggers come with it.

How long can I keep the lift?

As long as the job needs: a day, a week or more. With several sites, the lift moves between them the same day at no extra charge.

Working nearby? We are there too.
