2025-09-28

When cranes are too expensive or can't fit, rope access provides the lifting solution for HVAC units.

The Lifting Challenge

Installing air conditioning units on old buildings or in tight inner courtyards is tricky. Cranes often cannot enter narrow streets, or permits are denied. This is where Astro Alpin steps in.

Technical Lifting

We are experts in rigging mechanical advantage systems (pulleys) to lift heavy loads manually or with powered winches.

  • Precision Placement: We can position an outdoor AC unit exactly on the brackets, even 30 meters up.
  • Complex Routing: We can guide units over obstacles, balconies, and cables that a crane boom couldn't navigate.

Support for HVAC Technicians

We work alongside certified HVAC installers.

  1. Drilling: We drill the wall penetrations for the pipes at height.
  2. Mounting: We install the heavy consoles/brackets.
  3. Lifting: We haul the unit up.
  4. Connecting: While the HVAC tech connects the inside, we assist with the external connection if safe access allows, or provide a safety line for the technician.

Save on crane costs and get your AC installed anywhere with rope access support.
