One of the functions of a contractor is to ensure that proper equipment and tools are used during construction. In the case of vertical transportation via hoist and/or lift, the following factors need to be evaluated.
Types of loads
Materials hoists and personnel hoists are generally designed for their specific load. Hence, it is important to have an overview of supplies and tools that are commonly used in construction such as pallets, concrete, sacks, machinery, metal bars, etc. It is also beneficial to determine the number of the construction crew and the specific capacity if personnel hoist or lifts to create a loose estimate of transport efficiency.
Complexity of Construction
High-rise buildings and huge structures such as skyscrapers and towers require equipment that could reach extensive heights. Likewise, it is also helpful to assess the potential challenges in the construction site such as space and elevation, especially in consideration of assembly and disassembly of the device.
Maintenance requirements
It is imperative to assess the condition of the equipment before and after use to maximize its efficiency and avoid accidents in the area. Some equipment may require a painstaking evaluation and testing prior to usage. Hence, it is important to match which equipment or device practically matches the project.
