What is a Service Lift?
A service lift, also known as a goods lift or freight lift, is a type of vertical transportation equipment specifically designed for moving goods and materials between different levels of a commercial or industrial building. These lifts are essential for enhancing operational efficiency, optimising space, and improving safety within various environments such as warehouses, factories, hospitals, and hotels.
Service lifts are engineered to handle heavy loads, and they differ significantly from passenger lifts in their robustness and capacity. They can come in several forms, including goods lifts, dumbwaiters, trolley lifts, and even specialised vehicle lifts for use in places like multi-storey car parks.
