The JumboLifts, each of which has a lifting capacity of up to 3,000kg, will be used to manoeuvre a chandelier in the 55m-high lobby of the new building. When the clinic opens, it will be possible to move this twelve-ton 'jewel in its crown' at variable speeds.
The 500kg VarioLifts are destined for a different purpose: moving the clinic's lighting trusses. These lifts, which conform to the BGV-C1 code of practice and are notable for the exceptional precision and reproducibility of their movements, will be subject to the direction of a computer-based controller from ChainMaster. The team from Saxony will also be undertaking the construction of the switching cabinet for the fixed installation.
