Smith Lift hoist?

[ballsout]

Hi, first post here and figure this may be a good place to check out as I am trying to outfit my shop.

so my first question is about a hoist I am thinking of buying. It is a Smith Lift. It is made in Italy apparently but I can find absolutely zero info on it and want to see if parts are available.

these are the specifics of the hoist.

model- 513A
capacity-4000kg
serial-A074462
year-2004
volt-208-230

Is Smith lift a part of Ford Smith or is it a re-branded hoist?

It is in mint shape and was installed in a high school til a couple months ago so inspections were valid until a month or so ago. basically I want the manual for it to be able to install it.

sorry for a tech question as my first post but it seems this is the place to get information on this stuff. Does anyone know anything about this hoist or where to get the info?

well I found the manufacturer. It is made by Werther International inc in italy.

now that I contacted the guy who certified it he told me he was the sole importer of them near me (Ottawa, canada) and he had another at his shop for sale. I may go check it out as well.
