Commercial building, City of London
A commercial building in the City of London needed to move goods between three floors of back-of-house space.








The challenge
A commercial building in the City of London needed to move goods between three floors of back-of-house space.
The lift had to go in with minimal building work and very little pit or headroom.


Our solution: Hydraulic Goods Lift
We installed an APL Hydraulic Goods Lift in a self-supporting anthracite grey structure, needing only a 120mm pit and 2,460mm headroom. The 1,700 x 1,300mm chequer-plate platform travels 4,590mm, with 1,100mm parapets and full-height metal landing doors.
Automatic load control is fitted, and the control cabinet sits on the lowest floor. The lift was commissioned in March 2024.

We have used Alliance Platform Lifts on various projects over the last 3-4 years and we find them to be professional, punctual and very forward thinking. No problem is too great and the communication at both tender and post installation stage is second to none. We will continue to use APL’s services on any future platform or cabin lift projects we have.Daniel Griffin · Google review
