Maintenance

Alum-a-Lifts are easy to work on without specialized tools or knowledge.  Most companies utilize their internal maintenance personnel.  Technical support via phone and email remains available to the original end-user throughout the life of every lift.

Total Preventative Maintenance Less than 2 hours annually
Components and Spares Kept in stock, ready to ship
Access to Critical Components Clear and simple
Direct Access to Engineers Allows many adjustments and maintenance items to be performed immediately with existing personnel
Modifications Modular construction and access to engineers facilitates modifications to meet evolving material handling requirements
Training, Refurbishment, and Repairs On-site training, factory refurbishment, and repair services are offered.

“The lifts are working great without any hiccups or problems, and the support from Alum-a-Lift has been super. . . . If I get approval, I’ll replace every lift we have with Alum-a-Lift brand lifts, since 12 of the ‘other brand’ are down, waiting on parts.”

Custom End-Effectors

Our end-effectors provide precise manipulation designed specifically for the object you need to handle. Our Engineers can choose from our library of thousands of lift-assist solutions, or they can custom-design a perfect fit.

End-effectors are precisely sized to the object being handled, and they offer translation and rotation on any of the three axes. Motions are also offered in both manual and powered configurations.
