FAQs

What is a platform goods lift?


A platform goods lift is a specialised industrial lift intended for the vertical movement of heavy loads between floors. Unlike passenger lifts, it uses a flat, reinforced platform to transport goods, pallets, or equipment and is engineered for high reliability in commercial and industrial environments.

Key specifications
• Load capacities typically range from 500 kg to 10,000 kg.
• Platform dimensions are customisable, with travel heights from 550 mm to 7000 mm.
• Built-in safety systems and robust steel construction ensure dependable operation.•
Minimises manual handling and maintains workflow efficiency.

Architectural considerations
• Suitable for integration into warehouses, factories, retail spaces, and hospitality venues.
• Installation options include shallow pit and low headroom solutions, reducing structural impact.
• Requires appropriate planning for access, clearances, and routine maintenance.

In summary
A platform goods lift is a durable, adaptable solution that enhances operational efficiency and integrates seamlessly into new developments or retrofitted structures.





Can a goods lift be used for people?


Standard goods lifts are not intended for passenger use. Only lifts specifically designed and certified for human transport, such as goods-passenger lifts or properly certified attendant-controlled models, comply with UK safety regulations.

Goods-only lifts
• Built exclusively for goods, pallets, or equipment.
• Not designed or certified for passengers, use for people is non-compliant and unsafe.
• Typical applications: warehouses, factories, and stockrooms.

Goods lifts with attendant control
• Allow a trained operator to accompany the load for supervision.
• Feature reinforced cabins, additional safety systems, and compliant controls.
• Must be specifically certified for attendant use.

Goods-passenger lifts
• Designed to carry both goods and people safely.
• Comply fully with passenger lift regulations, including emergency systems and inspection standards.
• Common in hotels, hospitals, and large commercial developments where staff accompany loads.

Compliance considerations
• Using a goods-only lift for passengers violates LOLER and poses serious safety risks.
• Architects must ensure the lift type matches intended use and allows for appropriate maintenance and inspection regimes.

In summary
• Goods-only: For goods only.
• Attendant-controlled: Operator may travel with goods if certified.
• Goods-passenger: Fully compliant for transporting both goods and people.






What is the size of a goods lift?


Goods lift dimensions are determined by lift type, operational requirements, and building constraints. Acute Elevators provides lifts tailored to a wide range of load requirements and spatial conditions.

Goods-only lifts
• Platform dimensions typically range from 900 mm to 4000 mm in length and 650 mm to 3000 mm in width.
• Load capacity ranges from 500 kg to 10,000 kg.
• Suited to warehouses, factories, and retail stockrooms.

Goods lifts with attendant control
• Cabin dimensions accommodate both the load and an operator.
• Sizes are customised to optimise workflow while meeting strict safety standards.

Goods-passenger lifts
• Cabin sizes similar to passenger lifts, reinforced for heavier loads.
• Dimensions tailored to building layout and compliance with accessibility and safety standards.

In summary
Goods lift sizing varies from compact service lifts to heavy-duty platforms capable of several tonnes. Architects should specify the appropriate size based on lift type, load, and integration with building design.



How much does a goods lift cost?


The cost of a goods lift varies based on its type, size, load capacity, and installation requirements. Acute Elevators provides tailored solutions to suit a wide range of budgets and industries.

Goods-only lifts
• Most cost-effective option.• Pricing depends on platform size, load capacity, and installation conditions.
• Ideal for warehouses, factories, and stockrooms. Goods lifts with attendant control
• Higher cost due to added cabin space, safety features, and certification.
• Designed for environments where supervised goods movement is required.

Goods-passenger lifts
• Highest cost because they are engineered for both goods and passenger use.
• Pricing is influenced by cabin size, load capacity, finishes, and regulatory compliance.
• Common in hotels, hospitals, and large commercial properties.

In summary
Costs range from economical goods-only lifts to premium goods-passenger models with advanced safety features. The right investment depends on load requirements, building layout, and operational needs.
