Elevator Installation Hoists
Non-standard lift heights are a common consideration for lift and elevator installations. Thern electric winches can combine lifting power with larger drums and specialized control packages to accommodate large capacity lifts at greater heights with precision. Designed for swift, controlled, and repetitive vertical lifting, these hoists and winches reduce manual labor and operational delays, ensuring efficient and safe elevator installation processes.

Custom Elevator Installation Hoist Built for One World Trade Center
In New York City, big jobs come with big responsibility, and Thern is no stranger to high-stakes projects. That’s why a major industrial elevator company selected us to build a custom elevator winch capable of handling one of the most demanding lifting challenges — helping construct One World Trade Center.
Thern’s 4HPF25M power winch played a critical role in the tower’s construction, lifting materials for elevator installation and positioning. The project required a highly specialized solution, and Thern delivered with a custom-built winch designed to meet the customer’s exact specifications.
Performance at One World Trade Center
- Lifted elevator guide rails onto designated floors for storage and accessibility
- Maneuvered seventeen 21,000 lb guide rails into place for installation
- Handled 9,000 lb cables with precision and control
- Installed 50,000 lb elevator cars, ensuring safe and efficient placement
Slated for completion in 2014, Tower 1 was designed to reach a total height of 1,776 feet, symbolizing the year the United States declared independence. Thern’s elevator hoist played a key role in bringing this landmark project to life, demonstrating the power, precision, and reliability that define our company and the lifting solutions we create.
