Construction hoist power: the electrical permit behind the hoist

A material or personnel hoist needs its own electrical permit for power. Small line item, routinely missed at bid.

Does a construction hoist need an electrical permit?

Yes. If the job uses a hoist, powering it requires an electrical permit of its own, separate from the hoist equipment filing.

What matters on a real job

Separate from the hoist filing

The equipment and its power are two different permits.

Only when a hoist is actually named

Most facade repair jobs do not use one.
