In reply to the Polish market demand and the increase of competitiveness in the lifting sector the innovative construction of CHP 2000 type gear with changeable loading capacity configuration has been created. Computer-aided project of the workstation to validate the installation of a friction lift brake (the gear) in the production conditions is presented in the research study. The construction and the operation scheme of the lift braking system are described. Methodology of validation has been proposed at the stage of production on the basis of variability of the production demand for the presented model of the progressive gear.
