01 · IN BRIEF
Project at a glance
What was built, where, and why, all in one place.
Client
Beans Coffee, a growing coffee roastery in Ittervoort (Limburg).
Lift type
Hydraulic goods lift in a self-supporting steel shaft, for goods only.
Load
Bags of raw coffee beans, packaging materials, and packaged finished products.
Usage
Several times per hour, every working day, in a busy production environment.
Access
Doors on two sides on the ground floor: in on one side, out on the other.
Customization
A modified door on the top floor, where the sloping roof leaves little height.
02 · THE CHALLENGE
Moving heavy bags upstairs without disrupting production
Beans Coffee is growing. The coffee roastery was looking for a reliable way to move large quantities of coffee beans and packaging material between storage and the production floor.
The lift had to safely transport both heavy bags of raw coffee beans and packaged finished products without disrupting daily production. On the top floor, height is limited due to the sloping roof. This required a different type of door.
Client requirements
- Safe transport of heavy bags of coffee beans
- Also suitable for packaged finished products
- No disruption to daily production
- Fitting between existing production machinery
- A door that fits under the sloping roof
03 · THE SOLUTION
A hydraulic goods lift with 3 stops
Hublift installed a hydraulic goods lift with a lifting capacity of 1,000 kg. The lift connects storage with the production floors across 3 stops and a lifting height of 4,580 mm.
The lift is housed in a self-supporting steel shaft and fits precisely into the building's existing structure. The design was tailored to accommodate the many production machines present.
1,000 kg
Lifting capacity
Sufficient for pallets and heavy bags of coffee beans.
3 stops
Storage and production
All floors connected with a single lift.
4,580 mm
Lifting height
From the ground floor to the top floor.
2 sides
Through-loading on the ground floor
In on one side, out on the other.
Steel
Robust shaft doors
Seal the shaft against dust and dirt.
Hydraulic
Low-maintenance drive
Built for intensive daily use.
04 · SAFE TO USE
Gates on the platform, locked and monitored
The platform features swing gates on both sides. This prevents goods from sliding off the platform or getting jammed during travel.
The gates have a mechanical lock. Sensors ensure they remain closed. This allows employees to use the lift safely on every floor. The lift complies with European safety requirements.

The goods lift in the coffee roastery
Self-supporting steel shaft
The shaft is self-supporting and stands independently within the building. A concrete lift shaft was not required.
Loading on the ground floor
Swing shaft door and a locked gate on the platform. There is a door on both sides of the lift.
Top floor
There is limited height under the roof. Therefore, this floor was fitted with a modified door.
06 · THE RESULT
Less lifting, faster production
Beans Coffee now has a reliable lift that is used several times per hour. Employees move bags of coffee beans and packaging material without heavy lifting. This makes production much more efficient.
- No more physical strain for employees
- Faster transport between floors
- Reliable for intensive daily use
- Room for further production growth
