What is a goods lift?
A goods lift is a mechanical system designed to transport materials vertically between floors. Commonly used to move items between ground and upper levels, goods lifts are essential in environments where storage and workflow rely on multi-level access.
In spaces where floor area is limited, goods lifts help maximise available space by enabling vertical storage. This allows warehouses and factories to increase capacity without expanding the building, while also supporting smoother, more efficient workflows.
Does installing a goods lift require structural changes?
If you are concerned that installing a mezzanine goods lift may require major structural changes, a free-standing lift offers a practical alternative. Designed to integrate into existing buildings, these lifts typically require minimal alterations.
Ideal for older buildings, leased spaces, or facilities where flexibility is important, free-standing mezzanine goods lifts provide the required capacity without disrupting operations or incurring high modification costs. They are also quick to install, cost-effective, and adaptable to a wide range of building types.
What is the maximum weight for a goods lift?
Standard goods lifts are available with low capacities starting from around 250kg to 1,000kg, making them suitable for lighter loads and smaller operations.
However for applications requiring either higher or lower capacities, bespoke goods lifts can be engineered to suit specific needs, ranging from compact, low capacity lifts to heavy duty solutions capable of lifting 10,000kg or more.
How much does a goods lift cost?
A standard goods lift, typically starts at around £16,000. However, there are several variables that can influence the total cost, including load capacity, lift height, platform size, and any customisations or additional safety features required for your operations.
What information do I need to provide for a quote?
It would be useful to know what you will be lifting, the load capacity required, platform dimensions, lift height and any other customisations you may have in mind. Don’t worry if the details aren’t exact – one of our account managers will visit your site to take precise measurements and ensure the goods lift fits perfectly within your space.
How long does installation typically take?
A standard goods lift will take around 1-2 days to install. Custom lifts and more complex installations may vary, contact us to discuss.

What kind of maintenance is required?
A regular maintenance every six months is recommended. Advanced Handling offers comprehensive maintenance plans to ensure your lift operates reliably and safely all year round.
