The lifts are designed to operate in demanding industrial environments, outdoors or indoors and need no expensive shafts or lift rooms. They can easily be fitted on new as well as existing structures.
INDUSTRIAL LIFTS FOR POWER PLANTS
Every power plant is striving towards:
- Increasing plant output
- Improving efficiency
- Increasing availability
- Reducing operating costs to a minimum
It is of paramount importance to identify potential sources of failure to provide preventive maintenance and should be able to quickly respond to the failure if an unplanned production stop should occur.
To install a lift is often the least expensive way to decrease downtime. ALIMAK's industrial lifts are reliable, efficient, durable and offer a low cost of ownership.

Alimak Rack and Pinion Drive System
The Alimak Rack and Pinion drive system offers a number of advantages over wire rope and hydraulic lifts that can be translated into substantial economic benefits. They are designed for demanding industrial environments. No expensive machine room is required as the lift carries its own machinery and no load bearing lift shaft is required. Installations can be inside or outside buildings and also on curved or inclined surfaces.
The lifts can easily be retrofitted to existing structures and have a very narrow and streamlined profile, which is invaluable where space is at a premium. A simple drive principle means easier maintenance and lower service costs and there is practically no restriction in lifting height. The car can be brought down by gravity at controlled speed in the event of a power failure.
