Many factories, shops and warehouses still move goods between floors by hand or by stairs. This wastes time, needs more labour and causes injuries. A hydraulic goods lift solves this at low running cost.
Where a hydraulic goods lift fits best
- Warehouses and godowns with 2 to 4 floors
- Factories moving raw material and finished goods
- Shops and showrooms with a basement or upper store room
- Cold stores, hotels and hospital kitchens
- Loading docks, where a dock lift brings goods level with the truck
Main benefits
- Less labour: one person can move a full pallet or trolley.
- Safer work: no lifting heavy loads on stairs, so fewer injuries.
- Little building work: needs a small pit and no machine room on the roof.
- Smooth stop: the floor stops level, so trolleys roll in and out easily.
- Low running cost: the pump runs only when going up; the lift comes down by its own weight.
How to choose the right lift
- Load: take your heaviest single load and add 25% margin. Common sizes are 500 kg to 5 ton.
- Platform size: match it to your pallet, trolley or forklift.
- Travel height: hydraulic lifts suit up to about 4 floors. For taller buildings, a traction goods lift is better.
- Safety: ask for a rupture valve, door interlocks, overload cut-off and emergency lowering.
