Alimak has developed BIM objects for the vast majority of their different types of hoists. These can be downloaded as .rfa and .rfc format – and the 3D models are downloaded with embedded key information, such as capacity, speed and space requirements. The BIM objects can also be configured to your project’s needs, i.e. size, lifting height and attachment.
By using the BIM objects in the planning phase of your project, you have the opportunity to optimise and simulate the use of the hoists throughout the project and thereby reducing potential risks that can be difficult to foresee in a 2D environment.
