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

You are paying for the lift twice.

Once in the sub's install fee, and again in the days you lose waiting for their crew to be free.

What changes.

In crew-hours, so you can run it against your own rate rather than ours.

Glazing scopeA sub's crew, their lift gear, their calendar becomes Your crew, your calendar, one machine.
Stone scopePer-slab install fees on top of material becomes Your crew sets it the day the slab lands.
A sub who is shortThe trade stalls and the float disappears. With the machine: you put a machine under them and keep the date.
A one-day pickA crane call-out for a single set. With the machine: a day rental that arrives next morning.

Run your own numbers against your sub's install fee. The reason most GCs do this is schedule control rather than cost, and the cost usually works out anyway.

Three ways GCs use it.

All three come up on Florida jobs regularly.

Self-performing scope
Your own crew sets the glass, stone, or panels instead of buying the install from a sub at a markup.
Covering a short sub
The trade has the people but not the gear. You rent the machine and the date holds.
One-day picks
A single heavy set on a commercial fitout. Cheaper and faster than a crane call-out, and it fits through a door.

What your crew can set.

Anything flat, non-porous, and inside the rated capacity for the reach you need.

Architectural glass: Storefront, curtain wall, and impact units.
Stone and porcelain: Slabs, tops, and large-format wall panels.
Metal panels: ACM rainscreen, standing seam, fabricated facades.
Mechanical equipment: With the fork attachment, condensers and housings.

If your piece is over 1,300 lb or has unusual geometry, send the specs and a photo. We confirm the fit before you book, not after.

The unit you’ll get.

Two on the yard. The weight of your heaviest piece decides which one goes on the truck.

When do you need it?

Which unit

General contractors questions.

The five that come up on nearly every call.

Can I rent for a single day?

Yes. Day, week, and month rates are all available, and we have delivered for one-day picks on commercial fitouts more than once. Tell us the date and the zip.

Can I put it under my sub?

Yes, and GCs do it regularly when a trade has the people but not the gear. The rental is in your name and the walkthrough covers whoever is running it.

Who is liable while it is on my site?

Insurance is a line on your quote and we walk you through the rental agreement before you sign. Nothing about that is buried.

How fast can you get one to the site?

Tampa and St. Petersburg get same-day when the unit is on the yard. Everywhere else in Florida is next-day, subject to availability.

Do my people need training?

No. Our driver runs the walkthrough on drop-off and you have our number for the whole rental.

Got one on the calendar?

Tell us the weight and the zip. You’ll have an itemized quote back within two hours.
