As a typical consumer, you probably never envision yourself having the need to have heavy equipment on your property to perform work. However, some aspects of heavy equipment services are more common than you probably think. This is especially true when it comes to hoists, cranes, and rigs that are commonly needed for hoisting heavy objects. The fact is, there are just some situations when it is only logical to have an item hoisted instead of trying to figure out a different way to move it. Take a look at these common situations you may face as a residential property owner that may require the assistance of a hoisting service. 

You have purchased a large piece of furniture and need it on an upper floor of your home. 

Picture this: You have purchased a beautiful mahogany wardrobe for your bedroom. It is tall, it is gorgeous, and it probably weighs nothing short of a ton. Now envision trying to get that piece of furniture up the stairs to your bedroom. Unfortunately, without a lot of work, some special tools, and probably several people, the thing will stay on the bottom floor. If the upstairs level of your home has a balcony, set of large bay windows, or other opening, however, you can call on a hoisting service to come to your property and safely hoist the new furniture piece upstairs. 

You are having a backyard fixture installed in a totally enclosed area of your property. 

There are all kinds of residential properties that have a completely fenced in backyard that keeps the space private and protected. The only problem with this is, if you ever want to install something in the enclosed space, such as a swimming pool, a large dog house, or a pre-built storage building, you will have to figure out a way to hoist the item over the fence. Hoisting services can easily help you tackle this task so you don't spend all your time trying to take down a section of the fence to get through. 

You want full-grown trees planted in your landscaping. 

Shade trees are a wonderful way to add value and comfort to your property, but they can also take many years to grow when they are bought as saplings or small plants. Did you know that some garden centers actually sell full-grown trees? These trees do have to be erected on your property by using a hoist and a fair amount of excavation for a sufficient root system, but this can be a great way to get the trees you want, at the size you want, right away.
