We know the Sarasota job.
Four things that are true about working here specifically.
Next-day, and close
Downtown Sarasota is about 60 miles from the yard, one of our shorter runs. Book the day before and it is there in the morning, subject to the unit being available.
Inside the house
When the piece goes inside, the machine drives through at 32.7 in and needs 5 ft 8 in to set its legs and lift. Tell us the floor and the narrowest door.
Check the floor first
A new house on a crawl space asked us to set an 850 lb window from inside, 12 ft up. The machine is 2,090 lb before the load, so on a wood floor over a crawl space, check with your architect or engineer first.
Remodels and new builds
Sarasota asks so far split between remodels and new construction, from downtown Sarasota out to Lakewood Ranch and Venice.
What Sarasota crews have asked us for.
Real requests from September and October 2026, with names and addresses left out. Not every one fits the SL609, and each note says what decides it.
- Storefront glassThree pieces of impact glass into a storefront opening about 4 ft high, one day. Send the weight of the biggest piece.
- A great-room window850 lb, about 12 by 6 ft, lifted 12 ft to an open second floor in a great room about 30 ft tall. Inside the 860 lb rating at 4.1 ft from the front wheel if the glass stays close, and only once the floor is approved.
- Stacked fireplace slabsThree natural-stone slabs hung horizontally on a 12.5 ft fireplace: the first set and leveled on day one, the next two stacked on day two. Send the bottom edge of the top slab.
- Outdoor kitchen backsplashTwo stone pieces of about 400 lb, 88 by 46 in, set on a countertop beside a range hood in Lakewood Ranch. A straight lift behind the counter.
- A month of glassSliders, French doors and glass panels of 100 to 700 lb inside one house, over three weeks to a month. The month rate is the one to ask about.

Usually, if it is under 1,320 lb with the arm in. At full reach the limit is 330 lb. A 3 cm granite jumbo slab is about 1,090 lb, a full 10 ft 6 by 5 ft 3 slab of 12 mm porcelain about 326 lb, and a 6 by 10 lite of laminated impact glass about 420 lb before the frame.

Sarasota questions.
The five that come up on nearly every call.
How fast can you get a Smartlift to Sarasota?
Delivery to Sarasota is next-day. Book the day before and it is on site in the morning, subject to the unit being available.
Is Venice on the same run as Sarasota?
Yes, a little further south on the same next-day run, and Lakewood Ranch is on it too. Send the zip and the delivery is itemized on the quote.
Do I need a licensed operator?
No. There is no license for a Smartlift. Our driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off. Anyone who runs it must be 18 or older and have read the manual. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift.
Is a ramp included?
Yes, at no extra cost. Ask for it when you book and it goes on the truck, for getting the unit over a curb or a few steps.
Can I pick it up myself?
No. We handle every drop-off and pickup. There is no self-pickup.
We deliver statewide.
Tampa and St. Petersburg get same-day when the unit is on the yard. Everywhere else in Florida is next-day, subject to availability.
