ROOFLIFTERS, LLC
MIAMI, FLORIDA

For economic reasons it becomes impractical in most cases to lift a roof that is less than 3,000 SF. However, this is not to say that our company has not lifted smaller roofs. In some instances a small section of a larger roof must have a higher clear height in order to accommodate new equipment or processes. In these instances, raising a portion of the existing roof if much faster, cleaner, and less costly than demolishing a small section and rebuilding it higher. The ROOFLIFTERS system is designed so that each post has a lifting capacity of 25 tons. In cases where the weight exceeds 25 tons, the CribPosts are simply clustered. Many times interior columns will require two, three, or even four CribPosts which would provide up to 100 tons of lifting capacity. Who Is Rooflifters?

From conception to completion, ROOFLIFTERS provides guidance and consultation with everyone involved in the project. ROOFLIFTERS was formed to take advantage of one of the most unique cost saving construction processes in the industry. The process of lifting an existing roof of a building has been around for many years. But prior to 1989 roof lifting was accomplished by inefficient technology or by either taking the existing roof apart and then rebuilding it at a higher elevation, or building an entirely new roof above the existing structure and then demolishing the original roof. None of those methods have proven to be economical. The process of lifting an existing roof changed dramatically when Peter Vanderklaauw, former engineering professor at the University of Miami, developed a revolutionary system for raising the roof of existing buildings safe and efficiently. That method became the basis for what is now called the CribPost system. For over 15 years Vanderklaauw and his company became a primary source in North America for structural lifting solutions. Today, key personnel of the original company bring a combined 40 years of unrivaled lifting experience to ROOFLIFTERS. Formed to specifically to meet the increased demands for clear height across North America, ROOFLIFTERS is now the driving force behind continued innovation and methods of cost efficient roof lifting solutions. By providing the combined services of a design build company, general contractor and roof lifting contractor, ROOFLIFTERS is able to maximize cost savings for its clients as the complete source for roof lifting. See what some of our clients have to say about our company and services. “We at Polaris were very amazed at the efficiency and dedication exhibited by your employees. This dedication contributed greatly to a successful project completed ahead of schedule. Rooflifters personnel were always concerned not only for the safety of their own employees but also were very attentive to Polaris employees who were in the area while all the preparation for the lift was taking place.” “One of the reasons companies are moving is they’re looking for modern buildings elsewhere, with greater height underneath the joists. If we can persuade a company to raise the roof to allow for more warehousing space, so they don’t need to relocate outside Toronto, then we’ve saved jobs and taxes.” “I was speaking with a real estate agent who was bemoaning the fact that he couldn’t sell an industrial building because of its low ceiling, …and one thing led to another.” We’ve provided clear height solutions on projects big and small, and encompassing nearly every building type.
