Looking for solar panel lifting equipment in Perth or anywhere in Western Australia?
Whether you’re installing a few residential rooftop panels or managing a large-scale solar farm project, the right lifting equipment can dramatically improve installation speed, reduce manual handling risks, and increase workplace safety.
At Materials Handling Solutions, we supply specialised solar panel lifting equipment, including vacuum lifters, hoists, and practical ladder lifts for solar installers, contractors, and project managers across WA.
Contact MHS today for practical advice on the best lifting solution for your project.
Why Use Dedicated Solar Panel Lifting Equipment?
Solar panels may not be exceptionally heavy, but they are large, fragile and awkward to handle — especially when working at height or across large installation areas.
Without the right equipment, installers often resort to carrying panels up ladders or passing them from worker to worker, creating unnecessary risk and reducing productivity.
Using dedicated solar panel lifting systems can help:
- Improve installation speed
- Reduce fatigue and manual handling injuries
- Minimise panel damage
- Improve site safety
- Lower labour costs
For projects involving large quantities of panels, the right equipment quickly pays for itself through improved efficiency and reduced downtime.
Solar Panel Lifting Solutions We Supply
The Smart Way The Other Way
Solar Panel Ladder Lifters
For residential and commercial rooftop installations, a solar panel ladder lift is often the most efficient solution.
A ladder lift safely transports panels from ground level directly to roof height, reducing the need for workers to carry panels up ladders.
Benefits include:
- Faster roof installations
- Reduced manual handling
- Lower risk of panel damage
- Improved safety on site
- Suitable for residential and commercial projects
For this type of work, MHS recommends the Solar Panel Ladder Lifter, designed to make rooftop solar installation safer and more efficient.

Excavator Mounted Solar Panel Lifters
For solar farms and large-scale installations like solar carparks, an excavator-mounted vacuum lifter can provide a major productivity advantage.
These systems allow operators to:
- Lift panels directly from pallets
- Position panels accurately
- Reduce labour requirements
- Improve installation speed
- Minimise panel damage
Vacuum lifting technology provides secure handling while helping crews move panels quickly across large project sites.
For solar farms and ground-mount installations, view our excavator mounted solar panel vacuum lifter.
You can also explore related equipment such as vacuum lifters, glass lifters, sheet metal lifters and crane load levellers.
Solar Farm Lifting Equipment
Large-scale solar farm projects require specialised handling solutions that can cope with high volumes, uneven ground and demanding project timelines.
Common solar farm lifting equipment includes:
- Solar panel vacuum lifters
- Excavator lifting attachments
- Material hoists
- Crane systems
- Load levelling equipment
- Transport and handling trolleys
MHS works with solar installers, project managers and contractors throughout Western Australia to supply equipment suited to remote and large-scale installations.
For larger projects, you may also want to explore our range of cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, track crane systems and forklift attachments.
Why Local Supply Matters in Western Australia
WA presents unique challenges for solar projects, especially when working outside the Perth metro area.
Remote Project Locations
Many installations occur hundreds or even thousands of kilometres from Perth. Working with a WA-based supplier helps reduce delays and gives you access to practical support when equipment is needed urgently.
Harsh Site Conditions
Western Australian conditions often involve:
- High temperatures
- Dust exposure
- Wind
- Uneven terrain
- Remote access requirements
Choosing equipment proven in Australian site conditions is critical.
Tight Project Deadlines
Many commercial and utility-scale projects operate to strict schedules. Reliable equipment and responsive local support help keep projects on track.
MHS supplies equipment throughout Perth, regional WA and remote project locations.
Applications Across WA
Our solar panel lifting equipment is used across a wide range of projects.
Residential Solar Installations
Safely lift panels to tiled and metal roofs using a solar panel ladder lifter.
Commercial Solar Projects

Mining & Industrial Sites
Support solar installations in remote mining and industrial operations with practical material handling equipment, forklift attachments and vacuum lifting systems.
Solar Farms
Increase productivity and reduce labour requirements on large-scale renewable energy projects using solar panel vacuum lifters and related lifting equipment.
Additional Equipment for Solar Installers
Many solar contractors also use supporting equipment to move, lift and position materials safely.
Vacuum Lifters
Vacuum lifters are ideal for handling glass, panels, sheet materials and fragile products.
Cranes and Jib Cranes
Cranes and jib cranes can assist with workshop assembly, loading, maintenance and general lifting tasks.
Gantry Cranes
Gantry cranes are useful where a fixed crane structure is not practical.
Hoists and Winches
Hoists and winches can support lifting tasks in workshops, warehouses and construction environments.
Forklift Attachments
Forklift attachments improve loading, unloading and site handling efficiency.
Trolleys
Custom made trolleys can help move panels, tools and components around workshops and project sites.
