ViaLift |
|
|
A self-climbing hoist - why?
|
|
If you are a school, house of worship, or theater in need of theatrical or architectural lighting instruments, but your ceiling or building structure is not accessible - then the ViaLift is for you.
The ViaLift raises and lowers lighting instruments very simply at the touch of a button, thereby eliminating the need for lifts, ladders, catwalks, and expensive crew time for simple lighting maintenance work.
|
| How does it work? |
- Components: Each packaged lighting hoist consists of an aluminum main frame containing a cable collector and motorized winch, with electrical connector strip, raceway, or dimmer stick as specified, and a stage pipe batten for mounting your lighting fixtures. The ViaLift can be customized to your specific needs.
- Installation: The ViaLift has four individual 7x19 cables that mount directly to the building structure. Appropriate mounting hardware is included. The ViaLift's cable collector - fitted above the main unit - carries power and control for both lighting and lift. This is easily connected to your building's system by an electrical contractor.
- Control: For smaller installations of one to four units we recommend a key operated receptacle panel with a hand-held pendent which operates one unit at a time. For larger installations we also offer a touch screen computer system which allows the user to group units together and operate them at the same time. Multiple positions for each lift can be pre-set.
- Quality:
- The ViaLift is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
- Meets all NFPA Electrical Standards for Industrial Machinery.
- Submittal drawings and specifications are available upon request.
- One year limited factory warranty.
- Yearly inspection by factory authorized technician is available.

First Baptist Church - Madison, MS

This 24' ViaLift was installed in the balcony behind one of the building’s horizontal beams above the balcony seating area in an effort to hide the hoist when flown out to a storage position, and will be used to hold additional lighting units for special events.
For this purpose the self-climbing hoist was equipped with two (8) x 20 amp circuits ETC raceways, and a wall-mounted control station.
To make it “disappear” this lift was painted white to match the walls and ceiling. Required vertical travel was 20'.
