What is a chandelier winch?
Chandelier winches make light bulb changing and cleaning of chandeliers an easy and safe task, especially when chandeliers are at an extreme or great height.
Usually operated by remote control, the winch is able to safely lower and raise the chandelier at a controlled speed for easy access.
What does a chandelier winch look like?
You may have in mind a great pulley system which would be a bit of an eyesore, in actual fact most chandelier winches and chandelier winch systems are created in a simple, compact design.
In most cases, the chandelier lift does not stand out and provides safe access equipment whilst merging into your decor.
How does a chandelier winch work?
Mounted to the ceiling the small device contains a compact motor which allows a steel wire rope to be lowered and raised. This makes it easier to reach your chandelier and avoids costly scaffolding.
All winches have a built in cut off safety mechanism which functions in the event of a power failure. The systems will also cut off the power supply when lowering the chandelier for increased safety.
