Upgrades & Modifications
Custom Mobile Solutions for Real-World Conditions
Standard hoists don’t always meet specific venue or production demands. We perform certified upgrades and modifications on-site or in our shop – custom solutions that extend equipment life, improve functionality, and adapt to challenging environments.
We Come to You: Most upgrades can be performed at your location during dark days or scheduled maintenance windows. Minimal disruption, maximum flexibility for busy venues and touring productions.
Common Upgrades:
Weather Treatment
Corrosion-resistant coatings and weatherproofing for touring hoists and outdoor venues. Protection from rain, humidity, salt air, and temperature extremes. Essential for festival circuits and coastal venues.
Custom Handles & Controls
Relocate control pendants for better operator access. Custom handle configurations for tight rigging points. Modified control runs for specific workflow requirements.
Custom Finishes
Black-out finishes for theatrical environments. Color-coded systems for inventory management. Protective coatings for corrosive or high-use environments.
Hoist Conversions
Single-speed to variable-speed conversions. Control system upgrades. Modified mounting configurations for unique applications.
The Process: We evaluate your requirements, recommend solutions that maintain safety standards, and perform modifications with full documentation. Every upgrade gets QR-coded records showing compliance and specifications.
Certified & Compliant: All modifications maintain or improve the hoist’s original safety rating. Work meets ASME, OSHA, and manufacturer standards. Fully insured and documented for liability protection.
Applications:
- Touring production hoists exposed to weather
