Process
Hoists may be shipped or dropped off to our primary repair facility in Oakville, Ontario.
ESTIMATE
Upon arrival, your equipment is entered into our system. Then we test it, completely disassemble it and inspect all internal components. If a unit requires replacement of worn or damaged parts, we prepare a detailed estimate for your approval.
REPAIR
Once we have approval to perform the work, each unit is repaired and reassembled, load tested to manufacturer’s specifications and painted.
MAINTENANCE
If no repairs are required, the unit is cleaned, reassembled, tested and certified.
LOAD TESTING
We can provide load testing as a standalone service for new and used units. Additional charges apply.
