Raise & Lower High Level Display and Lighting

Why use EcoRIG

Reach new heights in creativity and efficiency

EcoRIG can secure display and lighting to enhance any environment and breathe new life into under used vertical spaces. As the cost-effective and sustainable alternative to access equipment, EcoRIG is used by some of the UK’s biggest retailers and developers to drive footfall and increase dwell times to maximise the revenue from their space.

Frequent changes

EcoRIG makes it much easier to maintain the impact of displays by simplifying the process of installing and replacing display and lighting. Changing and altering window schemes takes far less time, effort and resources meaning more changes can be made during a season to merchandise more lines to attract more traffic. The system allows for individual elements of a display to be altered so it’s possible to change something that isn’t working without replacing the entire scheme. It enables Visual Merchandisers to react faster to the latest trends and establish their store as the must visit destination.

Reduce costs

Utilise high spaces without the high cost of access equipment. We think companies are spending an excessive amount of their VM and maintenance budget on hiring access equipment and employing certified contractors. EcoRIG can eliminate the need to use specialist apparatus by empowering in-house teams with a simple to operate system for raising, securing and lowering high level fixtures which will enable work to be carried out in less time and during normal operating hours to minimise disruption and reduce operational costs.

Improve health & safety

The Health & Safety Executive advise businesses to take great care when working at height and if at all possible, not to work at height at all. If an employee or contractor suffers a fall whilst carrying out work on your behalf you could be liable for any resulting injury that could lead to sickness or even compensation claims. EcoRIG virtually eliminates the need to work at height as fixtures are lowered to a safe working height.

Better cleaning & maintenance

By lowering fixtures to a safe working height it is much easier to clean and maintain lighting and visual merchandising collateral as staff will be able to access fixtures from above. This would be ideal for chandeliers which have many small parts that are difficult the reach and clean. Re-lamping is a simple task that can be undertaken by in-house staff quickly and safely with less administration.

Sustainability

In operation the standard EcoRIG system will use roughly the same amount of energy required to boil a kettle: 4kw. Compare that to the energy required to run a cherry picker or scissor lift and it’s easy to see why EcoRIG is the smarter alternative. When you add up the energy required for transporting equipment and then the additional hours it needs to operate the emissions and costs soon mount up. As they can normally only operate outside of normal hours there is the additional requirement for extra security and support staff. EcoRIG encourages efficient working practices that can play a major part in reducing your carbon footprint.

No risk of damaging the property

Heavy access equipment can cause damage to floors and fittings and their use can be limited by property owners to reduce the wear and tear in new developments. It can also be difficult to manoeuvre equipment into the right spaces especially on units above the ground floor.
