01 · IN BRIEF
Hydraulic goods lift at a glance
The most important facts, all in one place.
Operation
A hydraulic cylinder pushes the platform upwards. This is robust for heavy loads and low-maintenance.
Installation
In an existing concrete or masonry shaft, or with a self-supporting steel shaft.
Cylinders
One cylinder as a base. For heavier loads, 2 or 4 cylinders are used for extra stability.
Lift pit
A pit of 150 mm is sufficient. Without a pit, a ramp is installed.
Control system
No machine room required. The control cabinet is located on the ground floor, within 2 m of the lift.
Standard
CE-marked, according to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
02 · CONSTRUCTION
How a hydraulic goods lift is constructed
A hydraulic goods lift consists of a few robust components:
- The lifting platform, on which the load is placed.
- Guide rails and hydraulic cylinder. The rails are located to the left and right of the platform.
- Control cabinet with hydraulic pump, on the ground floor.
- A reinforced concrete wall for mounting the rails, or a self-supporting steel shaft.
- A floor recess or ramp, allowing you to drive straight in.
Because the cylinder pushes the platform, no machine room is required above the lift.
03 · SELECTION GUIDE
When should you choose a hydraulic goods lift?
A lift shaft already exists
In that case, we build the lift into the existing shaft. The landing doors are installed in the front wall.
You transport heavy loads
With 2 or 4 cylinders, the lift can handle up to 10,000 kg, such as machinery or large pallets.
Construction space is limited
No machine room and no deep pit required. A pit of 150 mm or a ramp is sufficient.
An old lift needs to be replaced
Hublift replaces outdated goods lifts, including those in existing shafts. View the replacement in Germany.
