Why Charleston crews book Alpha.

Ports and waterfront work

From a pier, the basket can drop below dock level or climb a crane boom. We have done both in a few hours.

Careful with old steeples

Climbers worked from our basket to net a fragile church spire from 1870, 215 ft tall, in three days.

Reach over obstacles

Up to 135 ft sideways: over porches, walls, water and lower roofs.

A 150 to 300 ft fleet

Seven truck-mounted lifts. Tell us the height and we pick the one that fits.

No operator to hire

Our certified operator handles the truck and the lift from arrival to pack-up.

More than one stop

The lift can move to a second or third site the same day at no extra charge.

Permits in Charleston? We handle them.

  1. Address and access

    Before the day of the job we look at the street, the lane and the ground the truck will stand on.

  2. Street permit filed

    If the setup touches a street or sidewalk, we apply for the permit.

  3. Traffic handled

    Cones go down around the outriggers, and flaggers guide traffic past the truck.

Renting a lift in Charleston? Good to know.

All questions →
Which areas get free delivery?

Everything within 60 miles of Charleston: Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, Folly Beach, Kiawah Island and Beaufort.

Can you work at a port or on a ship?

Yes. Our basket has gone below dock level to reach a crane ship's hull, and up the boom of a 328 ft crane barge to replace its lights.

Is the operator part of the rental?

With operated rental, yes: a full-time IPAF-certified operator, plus delivery, setup, fuel and insurance. Bare rental is there for crews with their own certified operators.

Do you take care of permits?

When the lift sets up on a street or sidewalk, we arrange the permit, the cones and the flaggers.

How quickly can you start working on site?

The basket is usually in the air about 15 minutes after the truck arrives.

Working nearby? We are there too.
