Prior to any installation, a thorough assessment must be completed to ensure that the installation is possible  and safe. Ensure that this process has occurred, and that the relevant information has been provided to the  installation engineer prior to installation.  

The installation engineer must perform further assessments when installing the track system. This includes a  pre-installation room assessment to ensure that no obstacles will cause an issue during and after installation.  This assessment must also be done in the ceiling/false ceiling. This includes obstacles such as light fixings,  smoke detectors, sprinklers, doorways and other track systems.  

When fixing more complex systems such as h-systems, the assessment must include the full travelling area  that the track and ceiling lift system will cover. 

It is not always possible to fit a ceiling track fixing in the desired location. Always ensure that when relocating  the fixing, it remains within the maximum permitted span length of the track. It may be necessary to reduce the  distance between the fixings and fit an additional fixing for secure installation.
