Construction hoists for hire

Hiring a hoist isn’t as simple as ordering a pizza. Well, not quite, anyway. Like choosing between toppings and crust types, each hoist has its own specific applications and benefits, and every project has its own exact requirements.

From goods hoists to passenger hoists, from tiling hoists to scaffolding hoists, from 150kg to 5000kg capacity, Direct Hoist has equipment that’s right for your site.

At Direct Hoist we’ll help you to choose between our different hoists for hire, guiding you through the decision-making process.
Do you need to transport goods or personnel? Or perhaps goods and personnel together? What is the working height of your project?
How much weight would you like to carry? Is there a minimum or maximum platform size for your particular project?

If you need support to select the best hoist for your project, please contact Direct Hoist or fill in our hoist hire form. To make the choice that little bit easier, here are our most popular hoists.
