A recent 25 set renovation project was recently completed for $8600 per line set by reusing the existing tee wall, head blocks, loft blocks and battens. The existing equipment was in great condition having been well taken care of and built with Timken bearings and cast sheaves, manufactured by True Roll in 1979. All that was needed was a bit of clean up before we got started.

Obviously this number may vary depending on project conditions and other factors, but a general rule is that CounterMate is about half the cost of “traditional” automation. Put another way, twice as many variable speed line sets can be supplied for the same price as the fixed speed Prodigy machines.
