What Are Goods Lifts?

Goods lifts, also known as freight elevators, platform lifts, or warehouse lifts, are vertical transport systems specifically designed to move goods and materials safely and efficiently between different floors. With their high load capacity and robust construction, they are indispensable in many commercial, industrial, and logistics environments. Ondlift offers goods lifts that meet the highest quality standards and can be customised to meet the unique requirements of our customers.

Different Types of Goods Lifts

1. Hydraulic goods lifts
Hydraulic goods lifts use a hydraulic system to provide reliable, smooth, and safe operation. They are ideal for medium-height buildings and offer particularly high load capacities.

2. Traction goods lifts
These lifts use an electric motor and steel cables to move the lift car. They are highly energy-efficient and suitable for taller buildings – perfect for logistics centres and multi-storey warehouses.

3. Scissor lift tables
Scissor lifts move loads vertically using a scissor-like mechanism. They are a space-saving solution for loading docks, workshops, and storage areas where forklifts are not practical.

Applications of Goods Lifts

• Industrial sector – Transport of raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products between production stages.

• Logistics sector – Ensuring fast and safe goods flow in warehouses and distribution centres.

• Hospitality and catering – Efficient transport of food, beverages, and supplies between different floors.
