When a Charlotte-based contractor needed to install two mini split AC units on a commercial retail building on Tunnel Road, they faced a common challenge: how to safely get equipment onto the roof without risking worker injury or damaging expensive HVAC units.
The solution? Up! Up! Lifting’s crane truck services.
Why Use a Crane Truck for Mini Split Installation?
While each unit weighed only 150 pounds, carrying them up a ladder to the roof presented unnecessary risks. Manual lifting of HVAC equipment can lead to:
- Worker injuries from falls or strain
- Damage to expensive mini split units
- Project delays
- Increased labor costs
Our crane truck eliminated these concerns entirely, placing both units safely on the roof in a fraction of the time it would have taken to hand-carry them.
The Right Equipment for the Job
Up! Up! Lifting’s crane truck features a 31-foot articulated knuckleboom crane capable of lifting 1,800 pounds at full extension. This makes it ideal for:
- HVAC installations – Mini splits, rooftop units, and commercial HVAC equipment
- Roofing materials – Shingle bundles, metal roofing panels
- Building materials – For our heavier jobs, our crane truck can lift up to 5,500 pounds of lumber or other materials directly onto our 16-foot flatbed for transport
