Installation Overview

To achieve successful installations, it is crucial to install temporary platforms, use robust hoists for efficient material handling, and conduct thorough testing of the anchor points. Comprehending these factors and using high-quality equipment ensures successful installations.

False Car Installation with Tirak® X Series Hoist & Sheaves: A temporary platform resembling an elevator car ensures tech safety in shaft tasks. With a man-riding hoist, technicians are safely transported within the shaft. Sheaves are key for integrating all components.

Material Lifting with the Minifor® Hoist: Maneuvering equipment in compact spaces can be challenging. Portable hoists are a convenient and secure way of handling elevator components.

Anchor Testing with Dynafor® & Test Plates: Dynamometers are utilized to conduct load testing, calibrate the system, ensure safety compliance, and troubleshoot any potential issues. Our test plates offer a unique alternative to dynamometers.
