Hoist Relocations

Move your hoist without the headaches and get it working like it should at the new site.

Whether you’re shifting workshops, upgrading bays, or taking over a new tenancy, hoist relocation is where shortcuts get expensive. Davies can dismantle, transport where required, reinstall, and recommission your equipment so it operates safely and smoothly with correct clearances, anchors, and lift geometry.

Best for: workshop moves, tenancy changes, bay reconfigurations, equipment upgrades.

What’s included

Safe dismantle and preparation for transport
Reinstall, alignment, and recommissioning checks
Anchor/fastener assessment and replacement where required
Cable/hydraulic routing and final function testing
Practical advice if the new space needs layout tweaks

Workshop Fitouts: New or Expanding

Build bays that flow, maximise space, efficiency, and safety.

A great workshop isn’t just about buying good gear, it’s about positioning and planning so techs can work faster, safer, and with less downtime. Davies helps map out hoist placement and workshop functionality so your fitout makes sense now and still works when you grow.

Best for: new workshops, expansions, multi-bay setups, dealership/service centres.

Fitout support can cover

Hoist selection guidance to suit your workflow
Bay layout and spacing recommendations
Practical planning around ceiling height and access
Staged installs to keep your workshop trading
Coordination with concrete upgrades (if needed)

Off-Site Assembly

We pre-assemble so install day is faster, cleaner, and simpler.

When access is tight or downtime matters, off-site assembly can be the difference between a smooth install and a dragged-out job. We can pre-build suitable equipment so it arrives ready to position, secure, and commission, reducing disruption onsite.

Best for: tight workshops, high-traffic sites, time-sensitive installs.

Why off-site assembly works

Shortens time onsite (less interruption to operations)
Cleaner install day with fewer moving parts
Less congestion if your space is limited
Ideal for planned upgrades and staged installs

Operator Training & Handover

Your hoist is only “installed” when your team can use it safely.

After commissioning, we walk your team through practical, workshop-real operating procedures. The goal is simple: safer operation, fewer mistakes, and better day-to-day care, which protects your equipment and reduces downtime.

Best for:new staff, new hoists, workshops tightening safety systems.

Training covers

Correct lifting points and vehicle positioning
Daily/weekly checks your team should actually do
Safe use habits that prevent damage and incidents
What “doesn’t sound right” and when to stop
Basic care guidance to support reliability

Technical Support & Fault Help

Fast answers and clear next steps so you can get back to work.

If your hoist isn’t operating correctly, we’ll help you diagnose the issue and determine the quickest path to a fix. In many cases, support can start immediately over the phone and if it needs hands-on attention, we’ll organise the right technician response.

Best for: hoists not lifting correctly, unusual noises, faults, interruptions.

Support you can expect

Phone-based fault triage and troubleshooting
Clear recommendation: service visit vs parts vs safety stop
Technician dispatch when required
Guidance on what to document (photos/videos) to speed it up
Ongoing advice to reduce repeat issues

Concrete Upgrades & Slab Preparation

If the slab isn’t right, the install shouldn’t proceed.

Not every workshop slab is suitable for every hoist. Davies can assess your concrete and manage the upgrade work required to support a safe installation, including cut-out, excavation, preparation, and re-finish so the foundation matches the equipment.

Best for: older slabs, unknown concrete depth, new hoist upgrades, compliance concerns.

Concrete upgrade options

Slab suitability checks before installation
Cut, remove, and prepare for upgrade work
Rework areas to meet hoist requirements
Coordinate timing so install happens without delays
A clear scope so you know what’s happening and why
