Our company's theatrical lifts are custom-designed and manufactured in a variety of styles to meet your specific needs with regards to safety, speed, noise level, capacity and electronic control compatibility. Because we know that the show must go on, Handling Specialty also provides a sterling level of technical support with our lift products.

Handling Specialty designed and manufactured six (6) personnel lifts for an international locomotive engine manufacturer in the USA. The lifts are operated in pairs (with the engine in the center) and allow technicians to safely and ergonomically position themselves during the assembly process. In addition to the lift raising up and down, the platform is also equipped with five (5) sliding extensions that allow technicians to move closer to the engine. The extensions, which are controlled by an electric cylinder with a brake, are 35" wide and can extend 21", with a capacity of 300 lbs.

A jet engine test facility in Mississippi required custom equipment that could be used to simulate the ground (such as a landing strip) at various heights during jet engine testing. To fully meet the customers needs, Handling Specialty engineered and manufactured a ground plane simulator that is used during outdoor jet engine testing, and can be towed inside and stored when not in use.
