Depending on your chosen setup, some reinforcement or ceiling preparation might be required to safely anchor the tracks. Our sales team conduct a site survey to determine what, if any, structural work is needed before installation.

Post-installation, you can opt for maintenance packages or extended service agreements. Our team is available for additional training, software updates (where applicable), and any technical queries you may have.
Can I get on-site demonstrations?
Certainly. We can schedule in-person demonstrations at your location to show how the hoist operates.
Warranties & Additional Services
