Helgesen Tekniske Bygg AS was faced with a series of heavy goods lifts when converting an office building in Kokstad into a dental clinic. Multiple packs of x-ray resistant plasterboard had to be taken to the first floor of the building. In the end the company chose to roll entire packs of plasterboard through the window.
HTB’s operating manager Trond A. Johansen welcomed us when we visited the building site. We were pleased to hear that the Liftroller system had been in frequent use by the builders. Trond A. Johansen is in no doubt that the Liftroller system has prevented many a sore back during the building process.
“So far we have shifted 29 pallets of plasterboard, both ordinary and x-ray boards, and we still have one more delivery to go. We have put a total of 1,400 plasterboards through the Liftroller. If we’d had to carry them the old-fashioned way, there is no doubt that it would’ve taken much longer and been physically very demanding.”
Heavy specialist boards and narrow stairwells were a challenge on this project, but one that was easily resolved thanks to the Liftroller system.
HTB’s operating manager Trond A. Johansen is in no doubt that renting the Liftroller system was a good investment when renovating the office building in Kokstad: “We have most definitely recovered the cost of using the Liftroller system, both in terms of hours and not least physical wear on the workers.”
