Sometimes light bulb changes are extra complicated, so a spider lift may be your best efficient and economical solution for this challenging application where traditional lifts, scaffold or other alternatives are inadequate.

Building owners and facility managers place a high value on well-lit public spaces. In particular, large buildings in the education, healthcare, public and retail sectors are laid out to accommodate steady and large streams of visitors with the goal to create an airy and transparent environment that is friendly, accessible, and easy to navigate.  They typically do not have a good solution for replacing interior light bulbs at height with 3-story (11m) or higher atriums when they burn out. The TEUPEN Spider Lifts LEO Series is a preferable solution for changing Fluorescent, Halogen, or LED lights without causing collateral damage or interruption of processes.

Benefits of using spider lifts to change light bulbs

• Compact size – fit through single & standard double doors

• Light – Low ground pressure protects sensitive surfaces

• Self-leveling, multi-position outrigger system permits to automatic set up of the machine in confined areas and on slopes

• Hydraulically height- & width adjustable track system permits narrowing and lowering the machine for passing entrances or widening the track footprint for more ground clearance and traction for driving alongside slopes or in terrain

• Dual power source available: A powerful and robust Petrol or Diesel Engine for outdoor use, electric motor or battery for silent and zero-emission work inside of buildings
• “Fuzzy-logic control box/ system” provides the smoothest boom operation without jerky movements in the industry. The key element of the new station will be shown a new information system, complete with graphics that are easy to read even in direct sunlight

The clearly-arranged control allows safe and easy operation. To drive on tracks or to set up using the stabilizer function, the cable/radio remote control comes in handy as the operator can move around the machine to get a better overview. Furthermore, on the control panel, an interactive display shows all available boom functions, safety information and allows error analysis.
