For the last three years, Alimak Hek has silently developed a concept that adds a whole new dimension to construction work. The creation of the A3 concept has involved all the collected technical know-how of Alimak Hek, as well as collaboration with selected customers and partners. Now, A3 is ready for prime time. It will be introduced during Bauma 2007.

“A3 is an important step in Alimak Hek’s strive for added customer value. It enables advantages for the whole industry – from construction entrepreneurs to rental companies and end users. It also opens up for new services and add-on products. This is a start of a very exciting journey – for us and for the construction industry,” explains Anders Nilsson, after-sales manager.

“This opens up new business models, and a whole new way of working with service. With the A3, we identify the problem within a minute – and sometimes solve it with just one phone call. This means that all involved – the customers as well as we as a rental company – will save a lot of time and money,” says Richard Eriksson of Ramirent, one of Sweden’s leading machinery rental companies.

Compatible with all Alimak Hek Products and More

A3 works in conjunction with the whole range of Alimak construction hoists and industrial lifts as well as Hek mast climbing work platforms. The A3 improves communication, eliminates distance, improves on-site reliability and gains a control that both cuts costs and enhances profit.

In addition, an option to add A3 functionality to other vertical transport solutions will be available later this year through an add-on product (concept name: Orange Box).
