How does the Rapid Roof Lifter system work and why
is it the better roof raising process?

Other roof lifting systems typically use smaller jacks, a lengthy roof raising and welding process that involve extensive mechanical, electrical and sprinkler system reconstruction. Rapid Roof Lifter avoids all of these negatives by using a proven process that can cut costs by 60%.

HOW IT WORKS

An extensive engineering consultation begins our process. We design a solution that is most cost effective for you, reusing existing material where feasible.

Onsite work begins by installing the Rapid Roof Lifter column and structural steel at key areas in the building area that is to be raised.

The structural bracing and building siding is installed as the roof is lifted. At the same time, mechanical and electrical tails are re-connected.

Once the roof is to its final height, the columns are welded in place. All water is drained, and the building is dried-in.

COST EFFECTIVE

Providing a turnkey process, the unique Rapid Roof Lifter system lifts the existing roof, intact, with columns that then become a permanent part of the structure.This allows existing mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and sprinkler systems to be maintained all the while, eliminating the need for internal guy wires, redundant bracing and lifting devices.

LESS DOWNTIME

With a “No Destruction before Construction” process, the Rapid Roof Lifter System ensures all engineering, design and material acquisition is completed before on-site activity begins. In most cases, your work continues during the performance of prep work while the inside of the facility is kept protected from the elements. In order to save significant subcontractor time, we connect “tails to existing electrical, HCAC and Fire Control. All of this with a typical on-site period of only two weeks!

SAFEST SOLUTION

This tailored design means the Rapid Roof Lifter system provides a custom application for your needs, and uses zero caustic chemicals. As your roof is lifted, Red Iron and sheeting are added. This means no high work! With careful engineering, we proudly provide a product that conforms and usually exceeds local building codes.

EARTH FRIENDLY

The greenest solution for roof lifting, the Rapid Roof Lifter system boasts only a fews gallons of water as byproduct and strives for environmental consciousness by reusing as much of the existing building materials as possible. Material staging is scheduled as we lift the roof in order to minimize our onsite footprint, while striving for normal warehouse noise levels and careful treatment of lawn and green areas to avoid destruction.
