01 · IN BRIEF
Project at a glance
What was built, where, and why, all in one place.
Client
Märkisches Werk, a production company in the metal industry.
Lift type
Heavy hydraulic goods lift with double lifting column.
Load
Crates and pallets with heavy steel components, and even aerial work platforms.
Situation
A new storage location, linked to the existing building, with a height difference.
Doors
Full-swing steel doors and gates on the platform.
Safety
Hydraulic locking pins and sensors on doors and gates.
02 · THE CHALLENGE
Heavy steel components across a height difference
Moving heavy materials was a major challenge. Märkisches Werk built a new storage location, linked to the existing building. Due to the height difference, goods must now be moved between floors.
The lift had to fit in the only available spot in the building. The maximum clearance height on the floor also had to be taken into account.
Client requirements
- Lifting capacity of 5,000 kg
- Loading and unloading with a forklift
- Fitting into the only available space
- Taking clearance height into account
- Safe to operate without a special course
03 · THE SOLUTION
A 5,000 kg goods lift, custom-designed
Together with the customer, Hublift designed a 5,000 kg hydraulic goods lift with a platform of 2,000 × 3,500 mm and a lifting height of 4,210 mm.
An extra reinforced platform and a double lifting column ensure stability. In the basement, the platform sits flush with the floor, allowing a forklift to drive straight onto it.

Windows
In the steel doors
Always see where the lift is.
04 · SAFE TO USE
Doors closed, then move
The lift only moves when all doors and gates are closed. Sensors monitor this continuously. The gates on the platform keep the load in place so that nothing shifts or rolls.
With the push of a button, the load goes to the correct floor. After a short instruction, anyone can operate the lift.

Locking pins
Short instruction is sufficient

The goods lift in the factory
Heavy load
Even aerial work platforms can be transported. With a 5,000 kg lifting capacity, there are few limitations.
Full-swing doors
Doors and gates open fully. This way, the full width of the platform is usable.
Reinforced platform
The platform is extra reinforced so that it can be loaded and unloaded with a forklift.
Windows in the doors
Even with the doors closed, employees can see where the lift is and if it is occupied.
Integrated into the building
The lift is located in the only available spot. Our engineers created a fitting design for it.
One-button operation
After a short instruction, anyone can operate the lift. A course like the one for a forklift is not necessary.
06 · THE RESULT
Heavy loads safely to the floor
Employees now move heavy steel components safely and quickly between floors. After a short instruction, anyone can work with the lift.
- No forklift course required
- Full platform width usable
- The lift only moves with closed doors and gates
- The platform is locked in place during loading and unloading
