Hey Guys,

Something I've wondered for a while .. what's the procedure like for starting a new lift (fixed-grip and detachable). Are the various components powered up individually (like testing the motor before the cable is installed), or is it just "1, 2, 3 hold your breath" once everything is done?

Actually, everything is fully tested prior to (as much as possible), and during the commissioning process. Nothing is left to chance.

Sounds about like putting a new asphalt plant online, you get the "we tested everything at the factory" excuses while you spend two weeks trying to get everything to work after spending 5 million.
