Scaffolding Material Hoist

Material hoists are an essential piece of construction site equipment, as they allow workers to easily transport materials and equipment to various building levels. They are a safer and more efficient alternative to manually carrying heavy loads up and down stairs or scaffolding.

At Scaffolding Solutions, we’ll provide you with a safe and durable material hoist system to meet the exact needs of your job site.

About Material Hoists

Material hoists are only allowed to transport material—not people. They move at 72 feet per minute, are governed by ANSI A10.5, and require minimal training to operate.

A material hoist is ideal for moving a wide range of materials, including:

  • Debris or trash
  • Construction supplies
  • Cars
  • Equipment
  • Anything other than a human being

Advantages of Material Hoists

Using a material hoist offers many distinct advantages over using a forklift or manual labor to move materials up and down floors:

  • They’re much faster than any other form of material transportation.
  • Ideal for buildings ten stories high and below. 
  • General contractors won’t have to cover the cost of a full-time operator as they would with a transport platform configured to move human beings.

Customer Testimonials

The team at Scaffold Solutions really got me out of a bind this past week. Set-up scaffold on Saturday morning and came back Sunday morning to take it back down. Communication was great, speed and safety were excellent and price was fair. I appreciate the solid communication and follow-up from their team and they did a great job helping me get the steel installed in the elevator shaft. Thank you!

I recently had my fourth floor loft terrace enclosed. Scaffolding Solutions, LLC is the only choice you need to ensure your project is successful! Frank Giuliano visited my home and assessed the area, then coordinated with the Patio Enclosure installation manager to build a custom design that was efficient for the project. Frank’s customer service was remarkable. He constantly communicated updates and I felt very comfortable contacting him with any questions. The scaffolding crew only took one day to assemble and disassemble the scaffold without incident. They were pleasant, professional and respectful of my property. Hands down this was the best experience and I definitely recommend Scaffolding Solutions, LLC.
