Aerial platforms and rotating telehandlers

Roofing work requires professional machines to reach high elevations safely and efficiently. It goes without saying that you must be able to rely 100% on the machines you work with at height. Safety, smooth maneuverability, and stability are crucial.

Key-Tec has long specialized in renting and selling aerial platforms for a wide range of sectors, including roofing. Below, we highlight some of the top machines for roofers.

What makes machines suitable for roofing work?

As mentioned, roofing work takes place at significant heights, making safety your number one priority. It’s essential to have a stable machine that is easy to operate, stands firmly on all types of terrain, and has sufficient load capacity.

Equally important is choosing a machine with the right reach. If you mainly work on houses, a reach of around 20–25 meters is usually sufficient. For commercial or apartment buildings, a machine with a greater reach is advisable.

Finally, consider transportation. Compact machines, such as spider lifts, are easier to move and can even fit through narrow spaces (some of our spider lifts are so compact they can pass through a standard doorway!).

Luckily, Key-Tec offers a wide range of machines to suit every need. What they all have in common? They come from reliable lines by top brands like Manitou and CMC and meet strict safety and quality standards.

If you frequently need a spider lift—for example, for roofing—it’s worth considering purchasing your own machine. Key-Tec can help with that as well. Our sales range is even more extensive than our rental selection and includes machines with a reach of up to 41 meters!

Here are three of our top models, presented from smallest to largest:
