From industry to interior decoration: Segmüller decorates the foyer with safe BETA EL wire rope winches from Pfaff-silberblau

Kissing (Germany), September 27, 2018 – The safe Pfaff-silberblau BETA EL wire rope winches are not only used in industry, but now also in interior decoration and design, as illustrated by the current example in the Segmüller furniture store. The use of hoists with a BGV-C1 approval is essential here, since displays and decorations have to be moved high above the heads of the customers. The BETA EL wire rope winches from Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products GmbH, Kissing, comply with the high safety requirements of the German Employers' Liability Insurance Association regulations for areas in which people are under suspended loads. As such, in addition to safety-critical industrial applications, they are also ideally suited for building and stage technology. Division into individually controllable zones Hans Segmüller Polstermöbelfabrik, headquartered in Friedberg, uses a total of 21 Pfaff-silberblau BETA EL electric wire rope winches with radio control to move the decoration in the foyer of their furniture store in Pulheim in order to create an informative and appealing ambience for an inspiring shopping experience. The BETA EL wire rope winches are divided into four groups, which allows each specific area (zones) to be attractively and individually designed. Via a radio transmitter, up to eight wire rope winches per zone can be selected and operated by remote control individually or in groups. This allows many different decoration scenarios to be comfortably created. When using the control, a display informs the operator of the status of the wire rope winches in the respective zone. During service work, a plug-in backup operating terminal allows normal operation without the use of the radio transmitter. Elegant and safe according to BGV C1 Electric wire rope winches of the BETA EL series are not only robust, but also elegant, making them suitable for non-industrial applications, e.g. in showrooms and shopping centres, in public buildings and sports facilities or for stage equipment. This series from Pfaff-silberblau comes into its own particularly in safety relevant applications. Thanks to numerous options, the series can be individually configured and, with its high-quality components, always offers outstanding reliability and longevity. Two independently acting spring-operated disc brakes with a brake release device guarantee maximum safety. At Segmüller, loads of up to 630 kg can be moved over the heads of customers at a height of around 15 metres. With the lifting equipment from Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products, even heavy decorations in variable heights can be attached easily without additional safety devices.
