Lift Companies
The Specialist Team within your Team
Working with Lift companies across Australia for the past 13+ years removing low-rise to sky-rise lifts.
Since we specialise in Ripouts – all we know and understand is how to work with the Installation, Client, and Project teams to deliver a successful project. Unlike ripout/install crews who generalise – all our gear, methods, and removal process are geared towards doing the best job we can for the next team to get in and out safely.
With this in mind, we never have 2 crew onsite. Usually, 3-5 to ensure the teams in the shaft are supported on the landing, load out, and can swap in and out of the shaft for fatigue management. This also gives the team an edge.
Prior planning and walkthroughs with the client/project team ensure we are all on the same page. With 13+ years we have come across most , if not all the lifts and situations. We also have 4 team members who have been with us from day 1 this gives us tremendous confidence going into even the most tricky of projects while understanding there are always hazards present and to stay alert for any changes onsite.
Being industry training and inducted on most, if not all the lift companies’ online Portals with all the supporting documents built up for more than a decade.
