Glass lifter rental in Fort Myers, FL.

Fort Myers is a straight run down the coast from our Tampa yard, next-day. The Fort Myers job is impact-window retrofit: laminated units about twice the weight of the glass they replace, going into finished houses across a lawn. One person on a remote sets them, and the same run covers Cape Coral, Bonita, and Naples.

Smartlift SL609 HLE RT vacuum lifter with four suction pads on a lifting frame

We know the Southwest Florida glass job.

Four things that are true about this work here specifically.

  1. Next-day down the coast

    A straight run from Tampa. Book the day before and it is there in the morning.

  2. Impact retrofit

    Laminated units about twice the weight of the glass coming out. An 8 by 12 opening is about 670 lb, and that is the lite a two-person crew should not be carrying.

  3. Cape Coral canal-front

    Sliders and fixed panes into finished rooms, across a lawn on off-road tires, through a standard 36-inch door with the legs up.

  4. Bonita and Naples on the same run

    Work across Fort Myers, Bonita, and Naples in the same window and we price it as one booking instead of three.

What a retrofit crew is actually afraid of.

Not the weight on paper. The lite in the doorway.

  • The lite you cannot reorderAn oversized impact unit is weeks out. Two people can carry it. Two people can also drop it in the doorway.
  • The finished houseThe owner is home, the floors are done, and the old glass is already out. One person walks the new unit in on a remote and nobody has fingers under the edge.
  • The scheduleA retrofit runs house to house on a calendar. A cracked unit is a callback and a missed date, and the crew still has to come back.

The one question we ask.

What is the heaviest single piece, how high does it have to go, and how does it get into the building?

The piece
Weight and size of the heaviest single unit. Clean, non-porous glass seals reliably. Coated or textured, send a photo first.
The height
13 ft 11 in of lift. Capacity drops as the arm goes out, so tell us the reach as well as the weight.
The way in
32.7 in to drive through, 5 ft 8 in to set the legs and work. Sidewalk, curb, lawn, or lobby: tell us, and we bring the ramp or tell you it will not work.

Send a photo of the opening if it helps. We confirm the fit before you book, not after.

Will it hold your piece?

Find your material, check the weight. Both units handle everything on this list.

Impact glass at the openings that cause trouble. Figures are typical for laminated impact units.
MaterialTypical sizeWeightFits
Impact glass6 x 10 ft openingabout 420 lbEither unit
Impact glass8 x 12 ft openingabout 670 lbEither unit

Working out your own: impact glass runs about 7 lb a square foot. Multiply your opening. Capacity depends on how far the arm has to reach, so send the weight and the distance and we will confirm the fit before you book.

The unit you’ll get.

Under 1,300 lb, the SL609 goes on the truck. Heavier, or a longer reach, and it is the SL1009.

Fort Myers questions.

The five that come up on nearly every call.

How fast can you get a glass lifter to Fort Myers?

Next-day. Book the day before and it is on site in the morning, subject to the unit being available.

Do you cover Cape Coral, Bonita, and Naples?

Yes. Same next-day run. If you have work across all of them in the same window, tell us and we price it as one booking rather than three.

How heavy is impact glass?

About 7 lb a square foot for laminated impact glass, roughly twice standard glass. A 6 by 10 opening is about 420 lb and an 8 by 12 about 670 lb. Multiply your opening and send it over.

Will it cross a lawn to get to the opening?

Yes. It is an Outdoor-series machine on wide off-road tires. Soft sand or fresh fill wants mats, so tell us what it is driving on.

Do I need a trained operator?

No. Our driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift.
