What does BM stand for? I have never heard of this manufacturer untill I came across your channel. The design language seems to be closely related to Poma's Alpha series.
So I really have to do a video on the history of BM lifts. From what I know the company was formed in the late 1970’s and built lifts in Barrie, Ontario. In 1997 they were purchased by Leitner as to enter the North American market and continued to build lifts under Leitner/BM until the early 2000’s when Leitner purchased Poma. At that point all BM designs were dropped in favour of Poma. Drives, sheaves, and returns were certainly inspired by Poma designs.
