01 · IN BRIEF
Goods lift in brief
The most important facts about a Hublift goods lift, all in one place.
Hydraulically driven
A hydraulic cylinder lifts the platform. This is robust for heavy loads and low-maintenance.
No shaft required
A self-supporting steel shaft stands freely in the space, for example next to a mezzanine.
Small lift pit
With a pit of 150 mm, you can drive straight in. Without a pit, we place a ramp.
One person accompanying? Possible.
The version with attendant control has a closed cabin with controls inside. One attendant travels with the load.
Fully custom-made
Platform, number of stops, stop heights, front or rear doors: everything follows your situation.
CE-marked
Designed and manufactured according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
02 · TYPES
Four types of goods lift
The type depends on one question: is there already a lift shaft? After that, the load, frequency, and space determine the design.
Hydraulic goods lift
For an existing structural shaft. Landing doors are installed in the front wall.
Goods lift with self-supporting shaft
Freestanding steel frame, enclosed with sheet steel or open with mesh panels. No structural shaft required.
Goods lift with attendant control
Closed cabin with controls inside. One attendant travels with the load.
Pallet lift with roller conveyors
Loads and unloads automatically via bi-directional roller conveyors, linked to your internal transport.

Boxes, small equipment, and loose goods.
1,000 – 2,000 kg

05 · OPTIONS
Options and versions
Every goods lift is custom-built. You can freely combine these options.
Self-supporting shaft
Steel shaft in a RAL color of your choice, enclosed or open with mesh panels. The Hublift logo is placed above the landing door.
Attendant control and cabin
Closed cabin with controls inside, so that one attendant can travel safely.
Electric roller doors
Fast-opening roller doors instead of hinged doors, for tight loading and unloading zones.
Single or double doors
Platforms wider than 1,500 mm are fitted with double doors. Door height 2,000 to 2,500 mm.
Through-loading lift
Doors at the front or rear, selectable separately per stop.
Lift pit or ramp
With a pit of 150 mm, the entry is level. If that is not possible, you enter via a ramp.
06 · PRICE
How much does a goods lift cost?
A Hublift goods lift costs roughly from €25,000. Because every lift is custom-built, your situation determines the final price.
The final price depends mainly on the number of stops and the lifting height. After a site visit, you will receive a quote with a technical drawing and a fixed price.
What determines the price?
1. Number of stops and lifting height, the largest price factor

10 · FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about goods lifts
Is your question not listed? Call 0413 340 270 or email [email protected].
How much does a goods lift cost?
A Hublift goods lift costs roughly from €25,000. Number of stops, lifting height, shaft type, and options determine the final price. You will receive a fixed-price quote after a site visit.
What is the delivery time for a goods lift?
Average 10 to 12 working weeks after approval of the technical drawing and receipt of the down payment. Installation then takes approximately 2 weeks. In a hurry? Discuss with us whether accelerated delivery is possible.
Do I need a structural lift shaft?
No. Without an existing shaft, Hublift supplies a self-supporting steel shaft that stands freely in the space, enclosed with sheet steel or open with mesh panels, in a RAL color of your choice.
Is a lift pit necessary?
A deep pit is not necessary. With a pit of 150 mm, the platform is level with the floor. If that is not possible, we place a ramp on the ground floor.
Is a person allowed in a goods lift?
Only with the version with attendant control, and then one person. That version has a closed cabin with controls inside, so that one attendant can travel safely with the load. This option is possible on every type of Hublift goods lift.
Hydraulic or electric goods lift?
Hublift supplies hydraulic goods lifts. A hydraulic cylinder lifts heavy loads reliably and is low-maintenance. The speed is lower (approx. 0.15 m/s), but for goods transport over a few floors, reliability is more important. An electric goods lift is under development by our manufacturer.
How much space do I need?
Example: a 1,000 kg lift with a platform of 2,300 × 1,300 mm requires a floor opening of approximately 3,200 × 1,600 mm. Limited space? Send your situational drawing, and we will advise on what fits.
Does a goods lift need to be inspected?
Yes. Upon completion, we inspect the lift, including a test load. After that, the lift is inspected periodically. An independent inspection body is not necessary for a goods lift: Hublift carries out the inspection itself as part of the maintenance contract.
Which standards does a Hublift goods lift comply with?
Hublift goods lifts are designed and manufactured according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and receive a CE marking. From January 20, 2027, the new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 will apply.
Can a goods lift be placed outside?
Yes. The shaft is then made of galvanized or coated steel and the electrical components are made weatherproof.
Tell us what needs to go up.
Provide the weight, the number of floors, and the available space. We will visit you without obligation and make a proposal that fits your use.
