Should I buy a 'Low Headroom' hoist for my facility or modify the runway?
Choose low headroom hoists when runway modification costs exceed $15,000 or structural changes aren't feasible.
Low headroom hoists reduce hook height by 12-24 inches compared to standard units, making them ideal for facilities with ceiling constraints below 20 feet. The decision hinges on economics: if structural modifications exceed the 15-20% premium for low headroom equipment, choose the specialized hoist.
Remember: "15K Rule: Low headroom beats runway rework when modifications cost more than fifteen thousand"
