Bespoke design of our goods lift
Core to a successful goods lift design is ensuring it integrates seamlessly with not only space itself, but also the workflow of team members. Whatever your requirement, our affordable, space-saving cabin lifts can be tailored to your exact needs. Often functionality is the primary concern for an external goods platform lift, however, if your lift is public-facing we can also ensure the design fits in with the aesthetics of your interiors with several finishes available for structures, cabins and doors.
Working closely with clients in the commercial, industrial, hospitality and public service sectors Alliance Lifts has installed bespoke goods lifts everywhere from hotels and restaurants to warehouses and hospitals.

Frequently asked questions
The weight capacity of goods lifts varies widely based on their design and intended use. Smaller lifts are typically built to handle loads starting at around 300kg, making them suitable for lightweight goods in commercial settings. Heavy-duty industrial goods lifts can carry weights exceeding 5,000kg, catering to warehouses and factories. To ensure safe and efficient operation, it’s important to choose a lift that matches your specific requirements, including the type of goods and frequency of use.
Planning permission is generally not required for internal goods lifts, especially when they are installed within an existing building. However, external goods lifts or installations involving significant structural modifications, such as creating a new lift shaft, may require approval from your local planning authority. If you’re unsure about the regulations for your project, our team can guide you through the process to ensure compliance with all requirements.
Goods lifts can be energy efficient, but their performance depends on several factors. Larger lifts naturally consume more energy than smaller ones, and older models are typically less efficient compared to newer lifts equipped with energy-saving technology. Frequency of use, load weight, and the number of stops also impact energy consumption. Traction and gearless lifts are often more energy-efficient than hydraulic systems, and using LED lighting within the lift can further reduce energy usage. To improve efficiency, it’s important to look for energy certification labels.
Under UK regulations, goods lifts must be serviced at least once every 12 months under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations). However, the frequency of servicing may vary depending on factors such as how often the lift is used, the number of floors it serves, and its design. Regular maintenance ensures the lift operates safely and reliably, preventing potential downtime and extending the equipment’s lifespan. For high-use or heavy-load lifts, more frequent servicing may be advisable.
Yes, goods lifts are required to undergo regular safety inspections, typically every 12 months, to comply with UK safety standards. Inspections include visual examinations, functional tests, and measurements of component wear. Any defects identified during the inspection must be reported to the lift’s user, relevant enforcement authorities, or the equipment provider. A thorough examination should be conducted after significant modifications, repairs, or exceptional events such as damage or equipment failure, to ensure continued safe operation.
Goods lifts can be installed in older properties, including listed buildings, with minimal disruption. Expert installers, such as Alliance Platform Lifts, specialise in designing solutions for tight or unconventional spaces like cupboards or stairwells. Careful planning ensures the lift is both functional and sensitive to the building’s existing architecture.
The space required for a goods lift depends on its size, capacity, and design. Most goods lifts need a dedicated lift shaft, along with sufficient room for associated machinery, such as motors and controllers. Smaller lifts for lightweight goods can fit into more compact spaces, while larger, high-capacity lifts require additional room to ensure safe and efficient operation. A site assessment is recommended to determine the exact space requirements and identify the best lift solution for your property.
Alliance Platform Lifts are dedicated to providing our customers with high quality, exceptional and reliable platform lifts, luxury home lifts and glass domestic lifts, with cost-effective support for life.
