Generator Lifts, Fort Lauderdale
Roughly 20 minutes north of the yard. We bring the same fleet and the same certified operators to Fort Lauderdale that we bring anywhere else between West Palm Beach and South Miami.
Hurricane season keeps this one busy. Residential standby units, commercial sets and rooftop installs all come down to the same problem: a very heavy object that has to land exactly on the anchor bolts, often over a wall, a pool cage or a finished driveway.
We set them slow and we set them square. An operator who rushes a generator pick is how pads get cracked and how enclosures get scratched before the thing has ever run.
Working in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is close enough that we can often get there the same day, and varied enough that no two jobs look alike. Downtown and Las Olas are mid and high-rise work with loading-zone coordination, while a few blocks away Victoria Park and Rio Vista are narrow historic streets with big shade trees and driveways a boom truck has to be threaded into.
The waterfront adds its own category. This is a marine city, and we get asked for lifts over seawalls, onto docks and around canal-front properties where the crane sets up on one side of a very expensive piece of landscaping and reaches over it.
Beach-side condo work is mostly AC and generator sets on decks, and it almost always needs a booked window with building management. Tell us the building name when you call; odds are decent we have already worked there.
What we ask about first
- Dry weight of the set. Off the nameplate or the spec sheet. Residential standby is often 400 to 800 lb; commercial sets run several tons.
- Pad or roof, and how far in. Reach is usually the constraint, not capacity. A light unit far from the truck needs a bigger machine than a heavy one up close.
- What we have to clear. Pool cages, walls, fences, awnings and power lines all change the pick.
- Anchor set ready. If the pad is poured and the bolts are set, we can land it once and be done.
