Permanent Industrial Elevators

The Fraco SEL series is a rack and pinion permanent elevator for outdoor and indoor use. The cabins of these lifts can be custom designed in terms of dimensions and payloads and can also be manufactured to conform to explosion proof requirements and regulation.

Recently we had a visit from Corinne Dutil, US Sales Director at Fraco. This was her first time out to Alberta, and we enjoyed spending a few days with her. Please watch to see highlights from her visit. As the Fraco dealer in Alberta, we appreciate the level of service and support that Fraco provides. Not only do they supply great equipment, they also provide unsurpassed technical support. And they are alot of fun to be around too!!

UPDATE TO SAFETY CODE FOR PERSONNEL ELEVATORS

In 2023 and 2024, MAK Hoists (“MAK”) was part of the revision process of the CSA Z185:23 Safety Code for Personnel Elevators. The Code, applicable to the Construction Elevator Industry, had not been revised for almost forty years. The revisions included enhancing safety standards and addressing a number of the technological changes that have occurred over the years. These include:

• Enhanced requirements to hoistway enclosures and protection around the hoist.

• Minimal requirements for decks and associated overhead protection.

• Operator training and certification requirements.

MAK is proud to remain a leader in safety, Code knowledge and compliance within Alberta. We adhere to the Compulsory Trade Acts in Alberta, providing only fully trained, qualified and registered elevator mechanics and helpers to work on elevating devices throughout Western Canada.
