Hoist Hire FAQs

Should you have any doubt as to the suitability and required position of the elevator, call us to discuss your requirements in detail. Please email us any photos that may assist us in assessing the property without the need for a full site visit.

Where the hoist is required to be positioned in areas where there are parking restrictions, or on the public highway, it is the hirer’s (The Customer’s) responsibility to arrange for the relevant permission required from the authorities concerned. The permission may be granted in the form of a dispensation or suspension order, or possibly a partial road closure – depending on the location concerned. It should be taken into account that in some situations the above orders can apply to both sides of a public highway to allow the traffic to flow freely and enable the operation to be carried out safely. Most local authorities will require between 7 and 10 WORKING days’ notice of requirement.

The actual prices vary depending upon the specific machine required for your job and the location. All prices include our trained operator and are subject to VAT.

If you need to cancel your order once the contract has been agreed, the following will apply:

• Cancellation up to midday on the working day preceding the hire there will be NO CHARGE.
• Cancellation after midday on the working day prior to the hire 25% of hire charge is payable.
• Cancellation on the day of hire as scheduled, 50% of the hire charge is payable.
• 100% of hire charge will apply if upon arrival, elevator cannot be used for the purpose for which it was hired.

Whilst we make every effort to meet the Customer’s requested start times, we cannot be held responsible for delays occasioned by traffic problems, previous job overruns or any other circumstances beyond our control. If we are delayed for any reason, our operator will call you to keep you advised.
