Freight elevator with 4 lifting columns

Four lifting columns for high loads and efficient transportation.

4000kg payload
12m lifting height
nominal speed 15m/min
convey basket made to measure
one master column with electric drive and one slave column per side
can also be used outdoors

The QUAD is the powerful four-post lift for lifting payloads of up to 4000 kg. The 4 columns enable the use of large cage areas. The self-supporting lift is even suitable for use as temporary storage.

Despite high payloads, the elevator can be retrofitted with minimal intervention in the building and is limited to just a few fixing points. With our fixing kits, distances of several meters can also be bridged. Installation is also possible without a drive-over; the raised floor basket only requires a small pit 120 mm deep or, alternatively, an optional ramp.

When loading and unloading heavy loads and the cage door is open, the control system automatically compensates for height differences by lengthening the chain.

Persons may only enter the cage for loading or unloading.

QUAD A

The lift solution for transporting cars.

The QUAD A is the four-post lift variant for the automotive sector. The “car lift” enables vehicle transports of up to 3000 kg payload.
