Fleet requires a portable hoist so that it can easily be moved to a central maintenance facility. It
replaces one of our in-ground hoists. Fleet is also running out of room at Bramm Street and the
portable hoist allows us to pick up vehicles in the middle of the shop, if needed. Fleet requires a
wireless portable unit to eliminate the tripping hazard caused by power cords. A portable
wireless hoist can also be used during a power failure.
