In most Dutch municipalities, you do not need a permit for a moving lift itself. However, if the lift needs to be placed on a public road, you may need to arrange a temporary no-parking zone. Our team can help you with this process and advise you on the local regulations in your area.
A typical move using a moving lift takes between 2 and 4 hours. The exact duration depends on the volume of your belongings, the floor you are moving to or from, and how accessible the building is. Most of our rental packages include a minimum of 2 hours, so you have plenty of time to complete the job comfortably.
A moving lift and a ladder lift refer to the same piece of equipment. "Moving lift" (verhuislift) is the common name used in the Netherlands, while "ladder lift" (ladderlift) is the more technical term. Both describe an external lift that is placed against a building to transport furniture and boxes up or down via a rail system.
