Highwall™ Lift Makes Easy Work of Installing IMPs for Data Centers

The Challenge of IMP Installation at Height

Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) are a staple of modern commercial construction. Data centers, food processing facilities, cold storage warehouses, and pharmaceutical cleanrooms all rely on these panels for their thermal efficiency, structural integrity, and clean installation.

But installing IMPs at height presents real challenges for construction crews:

• Panel size and weight: IMPs are large, often awkward to maneuver, and require careful positioning
• Working at elevation: Crews need stable, controlled access to installation points
• Platform space: Traditional methods can clutter the lift deck, limiting crew movement
• Precision placement: Panels must be positioned accurately for proper sealing and alignment

How Highwall™ Lift Addresses These Challenges

The Highwall™ Lift-Hanger is designed specifically to help crews install insulated metal panels at height by supporting the panel outside the boom-lift basket while the crew remains inside the platform to guide and position it.

Clear Deck Space

By mounting externally to the lift platform, the Highwall™ Lift-Hanger keeps the deck clear. This gives crews more usable working space during installation—space they need for tools, fasteners, and movement.

Controlled Panel Positioning

The hanger securely supports panels up to 106 lbs, allowing crews to focus on guiding the panel into position rather than struggling to hold it in place. The UHMW pads protect panel surfaces from damage during handling.

Built for the Job

• Designed to meet ANSI A92 Group B requirements for aerial work platform accessories
• Galvanized steel construction stands up to demanding jobsite conditions
• Optimized for winds under 10mph to maintain safe operation

Data Center Construction Applications

For data center construction and other large commercial projects where IMP installation is repetitive and performed at elevation, the Highwall™ Lift-Hanger can provide a more controlled and efficient panel-positioning workflow.

Data centers often require:

• High volumes of IMP installation
• Consistent quality across hundreds or thousands of panels
• Efficient workflows to meet aggressive construction schedules

The Highwall™ Lift-Hanger supports these requirements by providing a repeatable, controlled method for positioning panels at height.

Important Considerations

The Highwall™ Lift-Hanger is a productivity and installation tool. It should always be used in accordance with:

• The lift manufacturer's requirements
• Applicable rigging practices
• Jobsite safety procedures
• OSHA and local regulations

Always consult your lift manufacturer's documentation and your site safety officer before deploying any lift accessories.
