Goods lift with self-supporting shaft, fully integrated.

Pallets, furniture, and various goods.

02 · THE CHALLENGE
Moving goods upstairs, for authorized users only
After the fire, the building was redesigned with storage and offices on the upper floors. Goods and furniture needed to be moved from the ground floor to the first floor.
Geste Group uses an access control system for all areas. The lift had to integrate with this, ensuring only authorized users can operate it.
Client requirements
- Integration with the Hikvision access control system
- Space for tall goods and furniture
- Fits within the existing building
- Loading by hand or pallet truck
- Fast installation
03 · THE SOLUTION
An integrated lift with access control
Hublift supplied a 750 kg goods lift with a self-supporting shaft. The shaft passes through the floor and aligns perfectly with the levels. The design was determined in close consultation with the construction manager.
An access control reader is located next to the control buttons. The lift doors only open after a valid token is presented.

04 · INSTALLATION
Installed in just over a week
The heavy components were positioned using a chain hoist attached to the roof. By working with few components, the shaft is solid and easily carries 750 kg.
After installation, everything was thoroughly tested. The lift was only handed over once safety and functionality were 100% in order. It was put into use immediately.
