The LIFT System – The Smart Choice When You Need New Flooring

NICA Corporation – Focused On Cost Saving Innovations

Many years ago, NICA Corporation saw a need to find a different way to manage the process of replacing carpet flooring in commercial buildings, libraries and retail stores. Back then the biggest pain was getting electrical contractors into the building in a timely manner to take the phone system apart so that desks and furniture could be moved. That entailed a separate contractor that could work as close to the flooring contractor so as to minimize the businesses down time. As you can imagine, some businesses could not afford any downtime at all! Imagine the mess now that most offices have phones and computer networks!

After the electrical and phone service was disconnected and packed away, after the furniture was moved and after the carpeting was replaced, you still had to wait for the phone contractor to come back and hook everything up so the company could get back to business. Imagine if someone threw you out of your office for a week or more, disrupting your business to change out or add carpeting? Chances are that a business cannot afford any downtime. Instead many business owners move their operations at great expense to another facility during a carpet or flooring installation!

In either case, the business faced disruptions, downtime and extra expenses! Well that was the way it was before NICA Corporation invented the LIFT System.

No disconnecting, no moving, no operational disruptions!

About 25 years ago, Bob Drake and Company came up with an interesting idea and went about turning that idea into reality! That idea was “The LIFT System”! With LIFT there is no disconnecting your electronics, moving your furniture or equipment. There is no need to hire a phone specialist, a computer network guru and their teams to take systems apart and then put communication systems as well as electrical equipment back together again.

With the LIFT System you don’t have disruptions or downtime either. The LIFT System simply lifts up your furniture, cubicles, electronics high enough to slide new carpeting into place and then all is gently lowered back into place. It works for both broadloom and modular carpet installs and requires no disconnecting of your equipment!

Even better, operational disruptions don’t happen because work is performed around your schedule, during nights and weekends. So not only is there savings generated  by not having to hire and then wait for several contractors to help disassemble and then reassemble an office, but disruptions of the normal routine don’t cost a business either!

LIFT SYSTEM – The Only Sane Way To Update Carpet!

FEATURE versus ADVANTAGE
No need to hire additional contractors – Save money and time!
No disruption of work force – Maintain staff productivity!
Office maintained in original state – No technical equipment issues since nothing was taken apart!
Coordinated LIFT System Installation – Carpet installed without unnecessary disruptions
