With only a team of 3 and our 19' Gehl Telehandler these guys constructed their walls and trusses in only 4 hours! Unbelievable! This 19' Gehl Telehandler is available at our Ashland & Hayward locations:

You can save some serious time & money renting equipment to help your projects move faster and safer. While we didn't get it on video, they told us they lifted all the roof sheeting up as one unit to the roof top instead of carrying individual sheets up the later, then they also used the man-basket: https://www.rentcarlson.com/ashland-wi/4-x8-man-basket-1 to safely work up at the peak attaching fascia/soffit/sheeting.

All material was ordered and delivered through Carlson Building Supplies. They had everything except the custom trusses in stock, and the trusses were delivered to straight to the job site!

Just heard back from our first renter of General Equipments ceramic tile ripper. Knocked out 400sf of 12x12 ceramic tile in 1 hour;
with no bending over! The right tool for the job for sure. Check out the description😁and the video link here: https://www.rentcarlson.com/35lb-wheel-cart-floor-stripper-kit Rent the 35lb Wheel Cart Floor Stripper Kit | Carlson Equipment Rental

Rip tough floors, not your back. 💪

The CTS12GEN2 RIP-R-STRIPPER®️ doesn’t play nice—and that’s the point. It goes head-to-head with ceramic tile, pavers, and glued-down wood floors without flinching.

It’s built to bust through today’s high-strength adhesives and keep you upright, productive, and pain-free.
