Frequently Asked Questions About Service & Goods Lift Installation
Yes. We regularly modernise or convert existing lifts into goods or service lifts, or replace ageing units entirely where that offers better long-term value and compliance. The Wembley Stadium project is a good example, where we transformed a standard lift into a dedicated goods lift to improve logistics without impacting passenger flow.
Timescales depend on the size of the lift, structural work needed and site constraints. After your survey, we’ll provide a clear programme, including any building works and commissioning, and we’ll plan works to minimise disruption to your day-to-day operations.
In many cases, the right solution is a service lift designed for goods, with the option for an attendant if needed. During our survey we’ll look at what you’re moving, how often and who is using the lift, then recommend the safest and most cost-effective type of installation.
