Best Equipment for HVAC Installation

Scissor lifts for indoor duct, boom lifts for rooftop units, and telehandlers for setting equipment — how mechanical contractors should rent in Utah.

HVAC is height plus weight. Duct and diffusers are scissor work. Rooftop units are a crane conversation or a telehandler chart, not a 19 ft scissor with optimism. Pick the people machine and the placement machine separately.

Indoors

19–32 ft electric scissors depending on the deck height. Narrow for occupied hospitals and schools. Mast lifts for small change-outs on weak floors.

RTUs and condensers

Know the unit weight and the reach. A telehandler that charts is cheaper than a crane for some light units and the wrong tool for others. We will not guess a 6-ton RTU from the parking lot.

Exteriors and penthouses

Articulating booms for working over parapets. Straight sticks when you have a clear shot. Electric booms if you are in a courtyard with neighbors.

Order with the unit tag

Weight, footprint, and whether it is a swap or a new curb. Call (801) 880-8800.

FAQ

Can a boom lift set an RTU?

Boom lifts are for people. Setting equipment is a crane or a telehandler (or both). Do not hang a unit from a basket.

What height scissor for a gym HVAC job?

Measure to the work, then add buffer. Gyms often want 26 or 32 ft, not 19 ft on tiptoes.

Occupied hospital?

Electric, quiet, floor-load note, after-hours. Mast lift or compact scissor until proven otherwise.
