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
• Venue-specific mounting or access requirements
• Extended service life in harsh environments
• Inventory management and identification systems
• Unique production or installation demands
