Why Chicago crews book Alpha.

Done here before

Four hotel facades in Chicago inspected and repaired in two days from one lift, with some gaps between buildings only 10 ft wide.

Tall enough for downtown

Lifts from 150 to 300 ft put the basket at the high floors of hotels, offices and towers.

Up to 135 ft sideways

Clear a marquee, a canopy or a lower building and still get the basket to the wall.

A lane, not a block

On most models the outriggers stay inside the truck's width, so one lane is enough.

Operator included

A full-time IPAF-certified operator drives in, runs the lift through the day and packs up.

Several buildings, one booking

Moving to the next building the same day costs nothing extra.

Where we take crews up in Chicago.

Permits in Chicago? We handle them.

  1. We study the block

    Where the truck stands, which lane it takes and what the job needs to set up there.

  2. We apply for you

    A setup on a street or sidewalk needs a permit. The application is ours to handle.

  3. We run the work zone

    Cones and flaggers on the day, so pedestrians and cars stay clear of the boom.

Renting a lift in Chicago? Good to know.

All questions →
Have you worked in Chicago?

Yes. We inspected and repaired the facades of four Chicago hotels in two days from one 250 ft lift, with no hanging baskets and no scaffolding.

How far outside the city do you deliver free?

Up to 60 miles: Evanston, Oak Park, Schaumburg, Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, Waukegan and Gary, IN.

What is in the price of an operated rental?

A full-time IPAF-certified operator, delivery, setup, fuel and insurance. Bare rental is also available if your company has its own certified operators.

Do you arrange street permits?

Yes, when the lift sets up on a street or sidewalk, along with the cones and flaggers.

Can the lift work on a narrow street?

On most models the outriggers stay within the truck's width, so one lane or a driveway is enough. On the Chicago hotel job the basket worked in gaps of 10 ft between buildings.

Working nearby? We are there too.
