Column-Mounted Cargo Lifts for Reliable Vertical Transport

An efficient and safe cargo lift system is essential for handling goods between building levels in modern industrial and commercial environments. GD’s column-mounted cargo lifts, featuring enclosed lift shafts, offer a cost-effective, quickly installable, and fully customizable solution—ideal for both new constructions and retrofitted installations.

The cargo lift is perfectly suited for use in:

• Warehouses
• Logistics centers
• Industrial halls
• Distribution units and smaller workshops

Customizable Capacity, Easy Installation, and Space-Saving Design

The cargo lift system allows for up to 3 levels (maximum lifting height of 8 meters), which is more than sufficient for most industrial and commercial applications. Load capacities range from 300 kg to 1500 kg, making them suitable for both light and medium-weight goods.

One of the main advantages is the flexible installation: the pit depth is fixed between 120–180 mm, regardless of the lifting height. This means no deep shaft construction is required, significantly reducing both installation time and cost. Furthermore, no overhead structure is needed, simplifying implementation—especially in space-constrained areas or retrofit situations.

The robust and reliable lift construction ensures long-term, trouble-free operation with minimal maintenance. The guide column is anchored every 3.5 meters, ensuring system stability and safe operation throughout.

The standard platform size is 1500 × 1200 mm, which is ideal for most palletized or boxed goods, but can also be customized to meet specific client requirements.

If higher capacity or larger platform size is needed, a twin-column version is available, capable of lifting up to 5000 kg, making the system suitable for transporting heavier loads as well.

Control is handled through push-button control units at each level, enabling simple, intuitive, and safe operation for any user.
