American Mast Climbers //
About Us |
 |
Who
are we, what do we rent and what’s so special about us?
American Mast Climbers is primarily a rental company, of personnel
& material hoist’s as well as mast climbing scaffolds
with the distinction of manufacturing all of our products in-house,
that’s right, we’re a US manufacturer, nothing foreign
made here.
While we do sell everything we rent, our focus is as a rental company
and always has been. To that end, everything we do is in an effort
to be the best rental company in the business.
For that reason, we became a manufacturer because it allowed us
to build a better product; we knew so well the shortcomings of all
the similar products on the market. For example, it also allowed
us to control deliveries and inventories of parts, so that we never
have to tell our customer, “it’s on back order”,
because now, we build it all. And because a large part of what we
do requires custom tailoring equipment to fit a customers needs,
it allows us the flexibility to make those modifications as and
when needed, speeding up the process significantly by being in control
of process. * see KHK modifications and photos.

What
is the difference between a Personnel & Material Hoist and a
Mast Climbers?
A Personnel and or material hoist is similar to an elevator you
have no doubt ridden in, in a building of 3 stories or taller. It
carries men and materials to a desired elevation, generally located
on the outside face of a building, to perform their respective trades
on the various levels on the interior of the building. They can
travel at speeds of 125 ft/pmin to 300 ft/pmin and greater.
A mast climber, is a form of scaffolding designed to take men and
material to a desired height or floor level to do work typically
on the exterior of a building, I say typically, because doing work
on the interior or elevator shafts or convention center ceilings
is not uncommon and these are all inside applications. These machines
generally travel at speeds ranging from 25-35 ft/pmin. *See

What
exactly is it that AMC does?
We rent a number of types of hoisting equipment, such as personnel
and material hoist’s and we rent mast climbing scaffolds.
We work with the customer to 1st understand the job requirements,
and then design and engineer a combination of systems which will
serve to solve the customers specific issues. We then handle everything
from implementation through erection of the system to the maintenance
for the duration of the project, and finally the dismantle and removal
of the system, to insure a seamless transition for the customer.
Once we’re involved, we handle such things as:
• coordinating power requirements
with the electrical contractors,
• shipping & receiving with the
General Contractor
• as well as the machines layout drawings
for everyone involved in the project and
• engineering and shop drawings when
required for whomever might be needing them,
• coordinating things such as wall
penetrations or tie points
Thereby taking the concern for these issues off of the client.
