We understand that every application is unique and that’s why we study every pertinent detail from the material being moved to the environment of the job site.

Who Benefits From A Vertical Lift?

Any business, organization or person that needs to move material between multiple levels, whether those levels are basements, mezzanines, lofts or other previously inaccessible space, will benefit from the use of a material lift.

What is a Vertical Material Lift?

A Vertical Material Lift is a lift that will move materials from one elevation to another. These vertical material lifts are a cost effective alternative to higher priced freight elevators. Since these lifts are not elevators and transport material only, elevator safety codes do not apply to this line of products and thus are much more cost effective.
