Goods Lift with Attendant Control 5,000kg – Replacement in Existing Shaft
For an international cosmetics company in Germany, Hublift completed a full replacement installation of a goods lift with attendant control. The new lift, with a lifting capacity of 5,000 kg, was installed in an existing concrete shaft and complies with all German safety standards. Following completion, the installation was successfully approved by TÜV.

Specific requirements:
- Maximum utilization of the existing concrete shaft
- High capacity for heavy transport between floors

Upon completion of the installation, the goods lift was inspected and approved by TÜV, the leading German inspection institute. This approval confirms that the lift meets all applicable safety requirements for goods lifts with attendant control in Germany.

The doors are 2,800mm high. This allows two IBC containers to be stacked on top of each other inside the cabin.
The doors are completely integrated into the existing shaft and fit seamlessly.
The user can easily operate the lift from the outside. The lift will operate automatically when controlled from the exterior. Users wishing to enter the lift with goods use the manual controls inside the lift.
Only instructed users are permitted to use the lift. The manual controls and the exterior controls can only be used with a key. The control panel inside the lift is equipped with an emergency communication system and alarm.
The spacious cabin is illuminated for the users and includes viewing windows. This allows other users to see the lift's location at all times.
The striking red colour clearly indicates the platform surface. Goods must always be placed within the red zone.
The result
The client now possesses a modern, safe goods lift that fully complies with all German safety requirements. The lift provides reliable transport of goods between floors, with the option for safe attendant control when necessary.
By utilizing the existing shaft, the project was completed cost-effectively without major modifications to the building.
