Retail, Warehouses and Stockrooms

For Retail, Warehouses and Stockrooms, the frequent transportation of goods, stock and other large or heavy items between floors is essential to their business.

“Perfect for light goods.”

Our Service Lifts range is perfect for regularly transporting light but bulky goods between floors.

Service Lifts reduce the need for the manual handling of goods and, therefore, the risk and frequency of manual handling injuries and accidents. They also increase efficiency within the workplace by reducing part of the manual transportation process, resulting in cost and timing savings for the business.

“Large Quantities of Stock and Equipment”

Our Goods Lifts range is perfect for regularly transporting large and heavy goods between floors. These robust lifts have been engineered to keep your goods moving daily.

Our Goods Lift range are the real workhorses of our new lifts packages. With a capacity of up to 2,000kg and lift car dimensions of up to 2000 x 2000 x 2000mm, there isn’t much within the retail, warehouse and stockroom environment that our lifts can’t move. Available with a self-supporting structure, these lifts do not require an existing lift shaft to be installed. Therefore, they are ideal for mezzanine floors and are available with external steel cladding for protection.

“Customer Access is Essential”

A customer’s access to your building is essential for any retailer. Still, it is challenging for many retail outlets not built with impaired mobility in mind.

Our range of Impaired Mobility Platform Lifts helps meet the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements, Equality Act 2010, Part M of the Building Regulations, Section 4.2 of the Technical Handbook and BS8300:2018. From inclined staircases, short and long vertical travel and both internal and outdoor use, our lifts are suitable for various applications, including those within coastal or near water areas.

Our Specialist Passenger Lifts range provides an essential customer access solution when conventional passenger lifts cannot be installed. These shallow pit and low headroom passenger lifts have been specially engineered to be installed in buildings with minimal pit and headroom space while also complying with EC Standard EN81-21:2009 or the EU Machinery Directive (Directive 2006/42/EC).

“Extend Your Lift’s Life Cycle”

During the busiest times for retailers, their lifts can see extremely heavy use. An effective service and maintenance regime will limit the wear and tear on parts and components but not stop it completely. Lift modernisation is a great way to extend your lift’s life cycle by replacing those ageing and sometimes obsolete components.

Our range of Lift Control Systems, Door Operators, Car & Landing Fixtures, Lift Hydraulic Pumps and Lift Doors provide a modern, cost-effective solution that bypasses the need for a complete lift replacement. With the added benefit that many of our lift components are held in stock, enabling the quickest of turnarounds for both planned and reactive modernisation.

“Enhance the Features and Functions of your Lift”

Our lift component range can also be used to enhance the features and functions of your lift, like in our new multi-media displays and digital signage within our Car and Landing Fixtures range. Hotel, restaurant and bar owners can further enhance their customer experience.

“Get and Keep Your Lifts In-service”

When your lifts are essential to keep goods moving around your business, having them breakdown and out-of-service can be costly and very uncomfortable.

Having the right lift spare parts available quickly is a crucial part of the supply chain and one we are set up to fulfil.
