Rooftop AC Unit Lifts, Boca Raton
Roughly 35 minutes up the coast from the yard. We bring the same fleet and the same certified operators to Boca Raton that we bring anywhere else between West Palm Beach and South Miami.
An AC change-out lives or dies on the lift. The unit has to come off the truck, clear the roofline, and land square on a curb that is often the same footprint as the crate. We do this several times a week, so the part your crew is worried about is the part we do every day.
Most residential change-outs are a 17-ton boom truck and under two hours on site. Commercial package units, tight courtyards, and anything past the second floor is where the 35-ton and 40-ton machines earn their keep.
Working in Boca Raton
Boca Raton is gated-community country, and that shapes almost every job here. Expect a guard gate, a certificate of insurance and a delivery window, and expect the association to care a great deal about what your outrigger pads are sitting on. We bring spread pads as a matter of course, because nobody wants to explain a cracked paver driveway.
The tree canopy is the other Boca constraint. A lot of these neighbourhoods have mature ficus and oak over the driveway, which limits where a boom can swing far more than the weight of whatever is on the hook. On the tightest properties the 2-ton spider crane tracks through a side gate and does the job from inside the yard.
Along the coast and around downtown there is genuine mid-rise work, rooftop mechanical and generator sets, and those are scheduled jobs with building management rather than drive-up work. Tell us the community or building name when you call and we will tell you what paperwork to expect.
What we need before we roll
- Unit weight. Off the spec sheet or the crate label. Most residential condensers run 150 to 400 lb; commercial packages go well past a ton.
- Roof height and setback. How high the deck is and how far in from the curb line the unit has to travel.
- Where the truck can sit. Driveway, street, alley. Overhead power lines are the single biggest thing that changes the plan.
- Curb ready or not. If the curb or pad is not finished we can still set it aside, but you will pay for a second trip.
