Heavy lifting requires more than a strong back.

When you are installing new flooring in the highly specialized, high-tech commercial, retail, public space and library environments, you can run into a lot of obstacles. Literally. Obstacles that need to be lifted out of the way so you can get your floor in fast with minimal disruption to business and the least possible downtime. And that type of lifting requires a lot more than raw power. It requires specialized lift equipment, experienced operators and a well thought out plan.

That is where Liftman™, Starnet®'s proprietary lift system comes in. Developed especially for lifting retail gondolas and library stacks, Liftman™ speeds up flooring jobs in these business environments by days — if not weeks.

Because, with Liftman™, there is no need to dismantle or empty displays to move them, and there's no damage to store merchandise or library stacks during the move. Liftman™ simply picks up the entire display, moves it out of the way while the new floor is installed and puts the display back when the job is done. All in one piece. All in one smooth motion.

Needless to say, operating such a specialized piece of machinery requires special training. And at Lippert Tile, we're fully trained, certified and have experience using Liftman™ on the job.

We also have other specialized lift equipment for office furniture depending on your needs. Our craft workers are trained and experienced in lifting systems furniture for the removal and replacement of carpeting in your general and private office spaces. This work is done while you are closed, so the disruption is minimal. In fact, from your employee's point of view, the new flooring incrementally replaces the old each day, leaving them with a refurbished work area or office with no down time. From any existing type of flooring to new carpet tile throughout at a fraction of the expense, lost time, and project duration as a complete tear down. It just makes sense.

Specialized, safe lifting. It's another piece of the flooring process equation. And another solution we bring to the table as full service, fully experienced flooring project managers.
