Bespoke
Load, dimensions, handling equipment and finishes are defined for your use.
Mégalift, the bespoke goods lift
For heavy loads and large volumes: a range of goods lifts designed like a machine tool, electric or hydraulic.
- Up to 6 tonnes
- Electric or hydraulic
- Travel up to 40 m
- Factory pre-assembled
Mégalift serves industrial buildings, warehouses, shopping centres, schools, healthcare, showrooms and prestige buildings: wherever size or load requires a large lift. Each lift is defined according to flows, work cycles, loading method and environment (cold, humid, dusty, food industry).
Key strengths
Robust and simple
Fully bolted folded sheet metal, very little welding: the same design up to 5 tonnes.
Factory pre-assembly
Every lift is pre-assembled at Sodimas before shipping: fewer surprises on site.
Electric or hydraulic
Electric traction for long travel and heavy traffic; hydraulic for heavy loads over short travel.
Forklift loading
Mechanical locking pawls at each floor, or a safety device when the load/area ratio exceeds table 7 of EN 81-20.
Re-levelling
Automatic return to the lowest floor and re-levelling during loading.
