Freight hoists are a permanent lifting solution designed to move heavy goods between different floor levels, such as mezzanines or basements. Unlike passenger lifts, freight hoists are engineered specifically for cargo, featuring robust platforms and high-torque motor systems. They are a critical investment for multi-level warehouses and retail stores, significantly reducing the manual labor and safety risks associated with moving stock up and down stairs.

Buy a goods lift from Sitecraft and discover great benefits such as innovative design and easy installation and maintenance. Our mezzanine lifts or mezzanine freight elevators are durable, reliable and don’t require a floor pit or special floor foundations.
The simple installation process, combined with no requirement for a pit to be created, can often be a significant financial consideration for businesses requiring a hydraulic goods lift. Computer-aided designs (CAD) also mean the dimensions can be scaled as required, and they can be installed in factories, warehouses or even on mezzanine floors.
Workers will also have no trouble controlling these mezzanine lifts, as Sitecraft uses a new and intuitive system designed to raise the control standard in both form and function. PCB controls onboard also allow for the gathering of diagnostic feedback, which can then be used when it comes time for maintenance or service.
If you have a question about our mezzanine lifts or would like assistance with finalising your goods lift design, the industry experts at Sitecraft are available to answer any queries you may have.

Most modern freight hoists are designed for “push-button” operation, meaning any staff member can use them after basic safety induction and training.
Yes, many models are “self-supporting,” meaning they don’t require a dedicated lift shaft and can be retrofitted into existing warehouses with minimal structural changes.
