When a company is installing a rug drying system that requires a scissor lift, chances are they are anticipating ALOT of work....
Or, they are doing very large rugs... best thing I’ve done for my business in the last year was add the service...nice to be able to walk underneath the rugs.
I have one client that asked me about a custom made wool runner they had made for them. It’s 6’ wide, by 24’ long.... still trying to figure out how to dry it.... I’ve got time though... as they are in Italy until the end of June.Or, they are doing very large rugs... best thing I’ve done for my business in the last year was add the service...
I just had 2 like that. I drape them on multiple poles.I have one client that asked me about a custom made wool runner they had made for them. It’s 6’ wide, by 24’ long.... still trying to figure out how to dry it.... I’ve got time though... as they are in Italy until the end of June.
I’ve got a few ideas that involve a complicated system of pipes, ropes, and pulleys.... I THINK it will work....I just had 2 like that. I drape them on multiple poles.
I’ve got a pulley system set up on 2 out of 5 drying pipes I have.... I now wish that I would have done all 5.... easy when they are small and synthetic.... REALLY hard when I’ve got 5 dense wool in the shop at once....When I get back to the shop I will send you a pic of a ready to use pulley system that I bought from princess auto.

We've drilled into the concrete and installed concrete anchors that spread when you screw in the eyebolt. The poles are only 12 feet wide and the largest rug I do is usually a 10 x14 so the weight is usually 200 lbs or less. I test them for movement every once in a while and so far they are rock solid.The vertical connection in the ceiling looks potentially weak to handle the load. What did you use?
What are you secured to in the ceiling to carry the load you lift?
I agree. These systems come pre-rigged with poly. The poly is slippery and tangles easily. Just have to keep every thing straight and it works good enough. Just enough rope to traverse a 12 ft length ceiling up to 10 ft high.Poly rope is NOT the way to go. Nylon Braided Marine Grade, still have circa 1994.
