Liftroller has signed an agreement with 4 Cladding Services
The Bergen-based Liftroller has a range of products that make loading and unloading building materials into city projects much easier & safer
The orange Liftroller loading platforms allow cranes & telehandlers to place loads onto them and then “roll” them into the site.
Using the E Wagon, you can move your building material around the site.
The Liftroller system is modular in its approach to safety and includes:
- Liftroller Wall – a landing platform to get material in and out of high-rise windows
- Liftroller Table – a limitless extension to Liftroller Wall to create storage & unloading bays within the building
- Liftroller E Wagon – a remote control-operated trolley for moving goods around the site
As well as the above, Liftroller have developed the Liftroller Floor.
How can Liftroller benefit me?
The Liftroller is the most effective way of getting large volumes of materials into buildings with multiple storeys.
Building materials usually arrive by lorry with a Hiab or Palfinger fitted. Instead of temporarily storing your materials on the ground, moving them directly from the back of the lorry straight through a window on the destination floor is much quicker.
With the Liftroller, you can use existing openings in the façade, meaning you do not have to cut large openings or expand window openings to get materials on site.
Don’t forget, when using an outside construction lift, you often have to wait your turn until the lift is free. That takes up unnecessary time.
How long does Liftroller take to install?
The Liftroller is made from aluminium and is sturdy and light.
It consists of 10 components, each of which is easy to carry to the floor, where they will be used.
Assembly takes less than half an hour. It is so simple that you do not have to hire an external installer.
Bet it costs a fortune?
Taking a real-life example…
Before a contractor started using Liftroller, they used a construction lift that could carry 32 plasterboard sheets and 2 people.
In addition, the contractor had 4 operatives on the ground floor, plus 4 workers on the upper floor where the plasterboard was destined to be.
32 plasterboard sheets were shifted every 10 minutes by 10 workers.
With Liftroller: 80 sheets are shifted in 10 minutes by 2 workers.
That is a lot of time saved that could be spent fitting the sheets rather than carrying them.
But what about larger refurbishment projects?
Imagine loading 2,800 packs of building material up 3 stories for a building conversion project.
Before using the Liftroller, each pack of materials took around 20 minutes to reach their required destination.
Why 20 minutes?
Three workers per pack of materials were needed due to steep ramps to and from the lift.
They often had to wait for the lift to be freed up before moving their materials.
With Liftroller, the contractors saved 2,520 hours.
4 Cladding Services is actively looking for pilot projects in the UK to introduce the Liftroller concept.
