Lift & Shift
Portable, operator-guided cleaning where a permanent rail is not practical.
The SUNAIROBOT Lift & Shift robot is a portable, operator-guided cleaner for small rooftops and low-density arrays. Crews lift it onto a table, run the row, and move it to the next string the same day.
It is the right machine when a permanent rail would be over-built: commercial C&I rooftops, scattered ground-mount strings, and sites that need one robot shared across multiple roofs. Dry and wet brush options let O&M match climate and soiling without a large water or labour footprint.
Overview
What it is, where it fits,
what problem it solves
Best for: Small rooftops / low-density arrays.
Key Benefits
Why O&M teams pick
Lift & Shift
Portable workflow
Lift, place, run, and shift between rows or rooftops without civil work.
No permanent rail
Low infrastructure — suited to rooftops and scattered strings.
Dry and wet brush
Match arid dust or sticky soiling without flooding the array.
Same-day deploy
Commission a unit and start recovering soiling losses immediately.
Operator control
Guided path on dense rooftops where autonomy is not the first step.
C&I rooftop fit
Built for commercial and industrial roofs, not only utility parks.

How It Works
From survey to cleaning cadence
1. Survey the roof
Share MW, tilt, walkways, and parapet access. We confirm Lift & Shift vs a rail machine.
2. Place and run
Operators lift the unit onto the table, set brush mode, and clean the row.
3. Shift the next string
Move to the next rooftop or table. Repeat until the site is on cadence.
4. Lock the cycle
Train the O&M crew and stock brushes/spares so cleaning does not stall after handover.
Best For / Applications

FAQ
Lift & Shift questions
Does Lift & Shift need a permanent rail?
No. It is portable and operator-guided. Rails belong to Semi-Automatic and utility fleets.
Dry or wet cleaning?
Both are available. Arid rooftops typically start waterless dry-clean; wet brush is for heavier soiling.
How many roofs can one unit cover?
That depends on MW, access, and crew. Share plant list and we size units and a weekly cadence.
How do we demo?
Send location, rooftop MW, and photos via Contact or WhatsApp. An engineer confirms Lift & Shift vs a rail product.
