LIFT MOVERS ???? in SOCAL ???

hi , I have 5 parking lifts that need to be moved 7 miles.   They can be moved without disassembly on a trailer , or disassembled and moved and reassembled at the location that is 7 miles, 12 minutes away.

 

If anyone knows qualified, reasonable vendors, I would appreciate that.

 

there is NO rush.

 

Thank you

I don't specifically know of a lift remover near you, but let me tell you how I found one in my area 35 years ago.

I found an automotive lift company that would sell me and install any new lift he had in stock.  He only had a minimal level of inventory, so most of the lifts he sold had to be ordered.  This worked out for him because he would simply have the lift(s) delivered to the shop's location; with less handling.

This same company had a "side hustle" where he would remove, move, and reassemble lifts for a set fee.  As I later found out, he used this side hustle job to keep his installers busy.  But that was only good for a while as his lift sales grew.

HERE'S THE DEAL: He would put me on a waiting list.  His lift sales took precedence over moving an existing lift type of job.  That's understandable; I got it.  So, my advice to you is to find who sells and installs lifts near Costa Mesa.  You can Google it.  Offer him the moving job and ask for an unofficial bid.  You can negotiate from there.  The 3 times I had my lifts moved, I always called him.  The last time I used him was in 2008 and it was $500/ea. for each lift moved.  They were the 2-post design with the overhead equalizing cables between the two posts.  4 lifts = $2,000.  You may get a better deal than I got.

THE CATCH: Neither he nor I could predict his slow times.  His territory was Utah and the surrounding 5 states.  He would only participate in moving the lifts when his installers were all caught up.  The longest wait for me was about a month.  If you were near SLC, Utah, I'd simply give you his name and number but I think you would be better served by a lift company in California.

Thank you yes I already tried that, and got some seriously unreasonable quotes.... some quotes came out to $ 600/hr/guy !!!! lowest was $300/hr/guy!   It is more economical for me to get my techs to do it than paying $300-600/hr to lift a company, and I am sure my techs will do  a very careful/safe job
