Goods lift for Geste Group's office building
Result
After a devastating fire at the premises of Geste Group, the entire building was refurbished and renovated. In order to enable the transport of goods from the ground floor to the 1st floor in the building, a goods lift was chosen. For this purpose, Hublift supplied a fully integrated goods lift with a self-supporting shaft.
Incoming goods are moved to the correct floor by means of the goods lift. The goods lift has a capacity of 750kg and can accommodate pallets, furniture, and various goods. The shielding around the platform has been raised to 2m and the doors are 2.5m high to make transporting furniture easier.
The total lifting height of the lift is over 4.7m across 2 stops. The complete shaft protrudes through the storey floor and therefore connects perfectly to the floors.

Application
To move various goods and furniture from the ground floor to the upper floor, Hublift was approached to supply and install a goods lift with a self-supporting shaft. The remaining floors serve as storage and offices. To provide access to the various areas and the lift, Geste Group plans to use an access system. This system must be linked to the lift, so that only authorized users can operate the lift. Use of the lift therefore requires integration with the Hikvision system.
Design
During the application phase, we considered which options would best fit within the existing construction of the building. In addition, the location of the lift and its future use were carefully scrutinized. This resulted in a design that aligns with the client's wishes and requirements. There was close contact with the construction manager to determine the final design.
In addition to the control buttons for the doors, a reader has been installed for access control. This determines whether a user of the lift is allowed to open the doors. After presenting the token, the lift doors are opened. This only applies if the user has access to the lift.
The doors of the lift have been raised to a height of 2.5m to accommodate taller goods on the platform. In addition, a higher shielding of 2m was chosen to protect the moving parts of the goods lift.
Since the lift is placed on the ground floor, it was decided to install a ramp. This allows users to place goods into the goods lift by hand, pallet truck, or other means of transport.
Installation
The lift consists of several heavy components. These were installed in the correct place using a chain hoist attached to the roof. By working with a limited number of parts, movement of the shaft is prevented. This creates a solid shaft that can easily handle the 750kg lifting capacity.
The installation of a lift of this size takes just over a week in total. After the lift is installed, thorough tests are performed and all electronic components of the lift are tested. Safety is paramount at Hublift. Once we are 100% certain of the safety and operation of the lift, it is delivered to the customer. The lift was then put into use immediately.
