The Requirement

A newly built, high-specification industrial facility required a vertical transportation system to move bulky, heavy items—such as IT equipment and large crates—between the ground and first floors. The system needed to be compact, fully compliant with safety regulations, and easily serviceable for long-term use. Operational efficiency, seamless integration into the facility’s footprint, and future-proof maintenance planning were key priorities.

Options Explored

During initial consultations, Hoistech’s engineering team proposed three potential solutions:

• A standard platform lift for general goods transport,

• A hoist and frame system adaptable to structural surroundings,

• A fully bespoke vertical goods lift tailored to site constraints and specific use cases.

Each option was evaluated based on footprint, load capacity, safety features, and ease of maintenance. After careful review, the client selected a custom-designed, CE marked lift that met all performance, space, and compliance requirements.

Final Solution Delivered

Hoistech delivered a compact custom vertical goods lift, CE certified for industrial use. This system was engineered to maximise vertical space efficiency while offering robust load-handling capability and intuitive operation. Its closed shaft design ensures safe, controlled lifting within a compact footprint, with all components selected for long-term durability and easy preventative servicing.
