High-Rise
Hoisting Systems.

Move material from truck to floor without slowing the tower crane or elevators — and finish the project faster.

Hoisting capacity8,000 lbs

Keep the tower crane on-task. Finish faster.

Contractors hoist their own material — more than an elevator can move — while the crane stays on structural picks and the elevators stay free for people.

Luffing Hoist can boom up and down, allowing loads to be easily maneuvered into inner floors. Works great for long loads like pipe, iron, and ducting.

A luffing boom that reaches in and out.

DOC Material Hoists lift 8,000 lbs of bulky material that won’t fit in an elevator. Every hoist is equipped with a luffing boom that reaches outward from the building to take very large loads — like curtainwall, pipe, drywall — straight off the truck.

The luffing boom allows handlers to rotate extra-long material and maneuver it into floors below.  Since no special cert is required to operate our hoists, loads that used to require a crane can be unloaded by subs without slowing down the rest of the job site.

Loading Decks for large or new construction.

For new construction or buildings where suitable access can be provided, use DOC® Loading Platforms with a DOC Material Hoist installed above to provide hook access to inner floors of a high-rise project.

Each DOC® Loading Deck can be relocated to other floors as the project progresses.  Gates open to allow delivery of large bulky objects like pipe, drywall, and curtain wall.

Even though operating the Hoist and Decks is intuitive, we provide hands-on training so you can make the most out of DOC products.  Our support staff are also on hand to provide logistics advise and consultation.

Material Basket for inner floors.

For smaller buildings, remodels or limited exterior access, the Material Basket delivers bulk material to inner floors through a small window opening.

The lightweight hoist mounts on practically any rooftop and speeds delivery of cabinets, plumbing, fixtures and electrical — no structural modifications required.

// Problems it solves

Where projects lose time and money.

Tower crane always behind schedule?

A DOC hoist lets subs unload and deliver their own material without taking picks or valuable time away from the crane.

Subs moving material in the elevator?

When the crane misses a pick, crews jam the elevator. With DOC moving material, elevators move people.

Racking up overtime after-hours?

A separate hoisting line moves material during normal jobsite hours — keeping overtime in check.

Tight site, no lay-down area?

Crews unload straight off the truck — no ground staging, no double-handling.

Catalog doesn’t cover it?
We’ll build it.

DOC runs its own custom steel fabrication shop. We engineer, weld and deliver custom material-handling and crane rigging equipment built to your specification — the same American steel and certified welds as everything we make.

DOC has become an essential tool on any high-rise site. With it on the job, it’s much easier to stay ahead of schedule and under budget.

— James K.  //  Project Manager

Designed, welded and built in the USA.

Every system — standard or custom — is fabricated from quality American steel and backed by a US service and support team that knows the equipment.
