Interesting job for SAFI – hoist turns into elevator! 14.04.2009
LTECH – Lifting Technology has accomplished exceptional project for one of Moscow printing offices. By request of LTECH Italian manufacturer SAFI designed and produced special indoor service elevator based on standard Zenith MC hoist.
