Frequently asked questions about construction hoists:

What are the most common construction hoist sizes?

The most common construction hoists have internal dimensions of 0.75-1.60 metres wide and 1.40-5.00 metres long. The small construction hoists are usually used for smaller projects, such as residential construction, while the larger models are more often used for larger construction projects.

 

The size of construction hoist you need will depend on the specific requirements of your project. For example, if you need to lift large building materials or equipment, you will need a larger construction hoist. If you only need to lift small building materials, a smaller hoist will suffice. Regardless of the size of construction hoist you need, we will always find the right construction hoist for your project.
