2. Installation criteria – Principles
2.1 Site survey – Design criteria
A site survey is the first project input, and it is
of great importance that this is performed and
archived in a proper way. We recommend that all
points in our Site Survey template are considered,
and that existing on-site conditions are docu-
mented preferably with photos and drawings.
Depending of the size of a ceiling lift installation
project, it is also of importance to consider how to
organize logistics for a ceiling lift installation:
• When should the installation take place (in
larger building projects)?
• What floor is the installation to be done?
• How do we get the rails there? (Crane?
Elevator? Stairs?)
• How to install efficiently? Installations teams or
single workers?
• How to handle disposals (packaging materials)?
2.2 Lifting points
One important issue in the survey is to identify
and define lifting points and optimal placement of
the rail systems.
