from the Renovisions® patented system.
The Tool Box
Lift tools are a series of jacks and clips that are designed to lift the most common furniture systems,
including freestanding desks and les. Additional tools are available to help with the rip-up of carpet
from under the furniture.
A variety of jack ttings have also been developed to work with specic furniture systems. Special
ttings are included for furniture manufactured by Herman Miller, Haworth, Steelcase, Knoll and other
miscellaneous manufacturers.
As with any precision tool, a trained operator is critical. A surgeon becomes a surgeon through
extensive training – not by buying a knife. Your training and understanding of the tools, furniture, and
carpet tile installation will help you tackle the many different obstacles in the occupied ofce.
Knowledge: The most important tool
Understanding your customers along with their ofce environment is as important as having the right
tools for the job. Furniture systems, how they are assembled, how wires are ran through the systems,
as well as the do’s and don’ts are all covered in this manual. Hands-on training is also crucial to
understanding the details of the lift process.
Your customer is an invaluable source of knowledge about their furniture and ofce environment. Many
times your customer knows the furniture better than you do. Be sure to extract as much information as
possible during the introductory days and nights of the project.
