Goods lifts for mezzanines
A mezzanine goods lift moves stock, roll cages and trolleys between floors without forklifts or carrying, and is often the safest way to load a mezzanine all day. We plan the lift opening, enclosure, gates and supporting steel into the mezzanine design and install it with a specialist lift partner.
How we approach goods lifts for mezzanines
Goods lifts suit operations where items go up and down all day in cages, totes or on trolleys. They take manual handling off the stairs and free forklifts for other work.
The lift needs space in the column grid, a trimmed opening, an enclosure and gates on both levels, and power. Designing it in at the start avoids cutting the deck later. Lifts can also be retrofitted where the structure allows.
Goods-only lifts are not for passengers. Where people need to travel between levels, for example for accessibility in offices, a platform lift designed for people is a separate product we can also plan for.

Questions people ask
Can people ride in a goods lift?
No. A goods-only lift must not carry passengers. For people, a separate platform lift designed for them is needed.
Can a lift be added to an existing mezzanine?
Often, yes. We check the column grid and deck, trim an opening and add the supporting steel.
Is a goods lift better than a pallet gate?
They do different jobs. A pallet gate suits forklift loading of full pallets; a lift suits steady movement of cages, totes and trolleys.
