Keep your school’s ceiling hoist and changing bench safe, serviced and ready for the new term.
Enable Supplies provides annual servicing for school ceiling hoists and changing benches across Ireland and Northern Ireland. If your annual service is due, we can arrange an engineer visit before pupils return in September.
Why book before the new school term?
Ceiling hoists and changing benches are essential pieces of access and care equipment. If they are not serviced before term starts, the school may face avoidable disruption, safety concerns or delays arranging support for pupils who rely on the equipment.
Booking now helps your school:
- Have equipment checked before pupils return
- Keep service records up to date
- Reduce the risk of faults during term time
- Plan around school holidays and site access
- Confirm any parts or follow-up work early
Common issues found before the new school term
Annual servicing can help identify problems before pupils return and before the equipment is needed day to day.
Typical issues may include:
- Hoist batteries not holding charge after long periods of low use
- Handset or control faults
- Worn or damaged charging points
- Slings, spreader bars or fixings showing signs of wear
- Unusual noise, slow lifting or uneven movement
- Loose fittings or signs of damage around the track or changing bench
- Missing or outdated service records
- Equipment that appears to work, but has not had its annual check
If any parts or additional work are needed, we will advise you before proceeding.
