  We design winch systems to make almost anything that operates at a high level more accessible for cleaning, maintenance or to enhance functionality.Some of the most common lifting & lowering applications include:Chandeliers of all shapes and sizes to avoid the need for expensive scaffolding to change bulbs or clean the glassTheatre and stage light barsMenu boards so that they can be lowered to be re-writtenArt galleries for hanging artworkRetail shopping areas for hanging advertising materialChurches and other places of worship where the heights of lighting may be extremeHow we do this depends on the weight, drop and location of the item to be lifted.We have been designing and building bespoke lighting hoist and winch equipment for many years and are familiar with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations and all our products are CE marked. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations apply to any winching or lifting system that involves a change in level. This puts certain duties on the installer and operator and we are able to help offer peace on mind when it comes to safety. Nothing should be suspended by a single rope over the heads of person below. We have unique Contact Suspension Units for chandeliers or other lights that lock the chandelier to the ceiling when raised and make and break the electrical connection automatically. These can be used with manual or electric lighting winches and greatly simplify the installation when they can be used. Alternatively twin, triple multi rope systems can be employed. Show less
