Great experience! First time on the 300 foot boom for a Local Law Facade Inspection. Vadim, the operator, was in complete control of the equipment and made the whole process smooth. Flagmen secured the area below and allowed my Client to operate their hotel without any disturbance. Honorio Designs Architecture, PLLC

Excellent service, arriving on time every day, responsible with the load limit, very attentive to the lubrication and controls of the crane.

Operator Alex & his team did a great job. Punctual & professional, they did everything we needed. Working on one of the largest bridges on the planet today & we couldn't have done what we did without Alpha Platforms. 250ft in the air & still a smoother ride than most manlifts I've been in. Thank you to you & your team; we're looking forward to the next one!

I've worked with the great people at Alpha twice and I've found them to be punctual, professional, and very courteous. Their equipment is modern and very well maintained. They get my highest recommendation.

This is a very professional company, with very experienced operators. They operate the larger lifts, and are great for FISP inspections and difficult to access areas. Thanks to Victor and his team for the efficient inspection today!

The most stable Arial Lift I have been on my who career/ especially being as it was very windy today I felt no turbulence I can not believe how smooth not only that but the lift moves in directions I've never seen before with reach beyond what you are use to I will definitely tell my company to work with these guys again very professional and an operator in the lift makes it better to communicate Loved it.

Ethical contractor - aims to save client's money by lifting engineers up so they can inspect a façade in one-day, rather than hanging scaffolding. Pictures of an inspection on West 97th street Manhattan - very cool truck.
