GIS Swiss Lifting Solutions has completed a lighting installation at Volkiland shopping mall in Volketswil, Швейцария, using 26 electric chain hoists LP500 D8Plus to ensure the entire construction held 345 lights securely.
The 3-storey atrium of the mall has been fitted with a modern lighting system with 298 lights and 47 downlights, supplied by BestLight AG, to provide atmospheric lighting that can be adapted to the season or a themed event.
The lights are distributed over seven sectors and each of them is attached to a steel frame held by three to four GIS electric chain hoists. One of its team engineers calculated the dimension of the support structures, as well as their statics to define the suspension points in advance of the project.
Once the suspensions were mounted to the ceiling, Michael Rubi from Rubi audio briefed the team.
First, all 26 LP500 GIS electric chain hoists in D8Plus, with a load capacity of 500 kg, were fixed and connected to the control system. Each section can be controlled as an independent group unit and lowered for cleaning or replacing defective lights.
A D8Plus solution with a 2nd brake and an 8-fold chain safety factor is necessary for this application since the individual sectors are suspended above people, which requires additional safety precautions.
After the steel frame had been attached to the electric chain hoists, the individual lights were installed and wired.
Taking all safety measures into account, the assembly took a total of six labour assignments, which were carried out exclusively on weekends and night shifts during weekdays. The commissioning of the completed lighting system was on November 12, 2020.
