Dreading putting up a Christmas display outside of your business for yet another year? Instead of keeping your fingers crossed for help from Santa’s elves, it’s often best to hire and utilise professional lifting equipment to take the stress out of the process. Read on to discover the ways winches can make setting up your commercial Christmas display easier on your staff this festive season.
Hoisting Large Christmas Trees
Christmas trees are often featured in seasonal displays that businesses create for the festive period, however, these can be large and inconvenient to erect. Thankfully, hoists and winches can be used to help lift heavy trees with ease, making sure your staff need not spend precious time slowly putting it up.
Lifting Seasonal Decorations
Some decorations look best when hanging from the ceiling, however, it can be incredibly difficult and unsafe for staff to do so using ladders. In large display areas especially, attempting to hang decorations high up can put your staff at risk of falling and injuring themselves. Similarly, when held by hand, there is a greater risk of decorations accidentally falling during the decorating process, sometimes leading to extensive and costly damage. Using a secure hoist can helpfully reduce the risk of either scenario from occurring, helping to make sure your display can be completed without incident.
Elevating Lighting
As the sun begins to set earlier and earlier, it can be important to light up your displays to make sure they are always visible to any potential customers. Elaborate lighting can help to elevate any decorations, however it needs to be carefully lifted. Without the proper care, you may risk issues with the electrics, which can be incredibly hazardous. Carefully utilising lifting winches can be the best way forward, as these are designed to gently lift goods, making sure they reach their destination safely.
Dismantling Displays
Once the festive season is over, taking down your business’s large displays can feel like a mammoth task. Luckily, there is equipment available to help. Hoists and lifting winches alike can be used by your staff or hired professionals to gently move your decorations, helping them safely arrive in storage. Electric winches can also help move equipment and heavy goods, streamlining the dismantling process with ease.
