Moving bulky, hard-to-handle box shaped loads can potentially cause trouble on your jobsite. Rol-A-Lifts – occasionally called refrigerator dollies – can provide a safe method of moving both awkward loads as well as sensitive equipment. With a variety of different lift heights and capacities available, Rol-A-Lifts are a versatile option that provides stability and reliability. […]

Mechanical Jacks: Simplex Ratchet, Reel, and Super Jack Options from LGH Mechanical jacks can be a practical solution when crews need controlled lifting, positioning, holding, or reel support without relying on hydraulic pumps and hoses. While hydraulic pancake jacks are often used for very low-clearance lifting, mechanical jacks may provide greater lift height, simple operation, […]
