A customer has asked us to help restore their lift table. It is 35 years old. We are going to propose a full retrofit: a complete upgrade of the equipment, including a compliance upgrade.

A nameplate from another era

The nameplate of this table shows our former brand, ‘Fabrications Atlas’, our address in Saintes at the time, the year of manufacture, 1991, and even a telex number. The telephone number, on the other hand, has hardly changed: 46 92 48 00, now preceded by 05.

As rewarding as a new project

When our customers ask us for innovative solutions adapted to their new processes, it is rewarding: it shows the potential of our current teams. When a customer asks us to help restore a 35-year-old piece of equipment, it is just as rewarding: it shows the build quality, made in France, of the teams who came before us.

Our archives, one of the company’s assets

Atlas Lift keeps the manufacturing records of every piece of equipment, identified by the serial number on its nameplate. We demonstrated this in August with another lift table more than 30 years old, whose original drawing was still in our archives. These records allow us to take on older equipment knowing how it was designed.

A retrofit also means a compliance upgrade

This is a very important point. Equipment of this age was built to the rules of its time, and the regulations have changed since then. When we carry out a retrofit, we also bring the equipment into compliance. Our retrofit page details what we can upgrade.

An approach that benefits every industrial sector

We carry out retrofits in every industrial sector, including the railway sector. Extending the life of existing equipment is also our contribution to reducing material consumption.

Proud of the Atlas Lift teams, proud to help keep industry alive in France.
