02 · THE CHALLENGE
A lift in the mezzanine, for a growing company
TRL Fulfilment moved into a new building to facilitate growth. Employees move goods using pallet trucks on the ground floor and on the mezzanine levels.
The lift had to fit within the available space and the racking and mezzanine floors yet to be built. Because the lift is used frequently, reliability was very important.
Client requirements
- Closed self-supporting shaft
- Integration into racking and mezzanine
- 2 pallets at a time
- Stable platform during loading
- Reliable for intensive use
03 · THE SOLUTION
Two pallets side by side, across 3 floors
After visiting a Hublift reference customer and consulting with Dexion, the right solution was designed. The platform accommodates 2 pallets side by side, allowing users to load and unload quickly.
Two lifting columns and a railing around the platform ensure safety and stability. Electronic locking pins secure the platform at the floor level during loading.

04 · DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
Integrated together with Dexion
During the design phase, there was frequent contact with the racking builder's engineers. The lift is located at the front of the mezzanine, integrated into the racking. Dimensions were checked multiple times during construction.
The heavy components were positioned using a chain hoist. After just over a week of installation and thorough testing, the lift went into immediate use, exactly in time for the move.
