The face is the whole product.

A scratched panel is not a repair, it is a reorder with a lead time attached, and the schedule does not care whose fault it was.

What changes.

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

A single large panelFour people, about ninety minutes becomes One person, under an hour.
A week of facadeFour people, all week becomes One or two people, plus the rental.
A scratched faceA reorder, and a lead time you cannot compress. With the machine: pads hold the face, no straps, no gloves.
A flexed panelOil-canning that shows on the finished wall. With the machine: even support across the pad frame.

Run your own burdened rate through the first row. The reorder line is usually the one that decides it, because a replacement panel arrives on the manufacturer's schedule, not yours.

From the truck to the facade.

Four places the panel stops being at risk.

ACM rainscreen
Large-format composite panels off the crate and onto the wall without a hand ever touching the finished face.
Standing seam
Long runs staged and lifted without the flex that shows up later as oil-canning across a finished elevation.
Custom fabricated facades
One-off panels where a replacement is a fabrication run, not a shelf item.
Mechanical housings
Screen walls and equipment enclosures, set at height with the fork attachment.

What the pads hold.

Smooth, non-porous, and rigid enough not to flex. Most architectural metal qualifies.

Composite panels: ACM and MCM in standard and large format.
Standing seam: Prefinished runs, staged and placed.
Flat stock and plate: Smooth sheet where the finish is the deliverable.
Perforated and textured: Depends on the pattern. Send a photo and we will confirm the seal.

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

What are you lifting?

The weight and size of your heaviest piece is what decides the machine. Tell us that and we will pick for you.

Or call (855) 677-7368

We use this to quote your job. We do not sell your information and we do not send newsletters.

Sheet metal questions.

The five that come up on nearly every call.

Will the pads mark a prefinished face?

No. The pads seal against the surface without abrasion, which is the whole reason to use one on architectural metal. No straps, no gloves, no edge clamps.

What about perforated panels?

It depends on the pattern. A perforated face may not hold a vacuum. Send a photo or the spec and we will tell you before you book, not after.

How heavy a panel can it take?

1,320 lb with the arm in, 330 lb at full extension. Most architectural metal is well inside that, so reach usually matters more than weight.

Can it set panels at height?

Yes, with the fork attachment for equipment housings and screen walls. Give us the elevation and the panel weight and we will confirm the reach.

Do I need a trained operator?

No. Our driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off, and you have our number for the whole rental.
