In June 2025, STONIMAGE successfully completed the delivery of a customized electric cargo lift to a logistics company in Ireland. The customer operates a warehouse facility and needed a reliable and efficient solution to transport goods between the first and second floors. The challenge was to design a lift that could handle a heavy load, meet specific space requirements, and offer safe, smooth operation without the typical safety guardrails due to space limitations.
The customer required a 500kg capacity electric cargo lift with a 5-meter lift height. However, instead of the standard safety guardrails, they requested a custom design where the cargo lift would be free from railings, providing greater flexibility for moving large, bulky goods. The space available for installation was limited, so the design needed to maximize available room while still meeting the client's operational needs.
Additionally, the lift needed to provide:
Efficient, smooth operation to transport heavy goods
Compact design to fit the available shaft space
Reliability for daily heavy-duty use with minimal maintenance requirements
After reviewing the client’s needs, STONIMAGE customized the electric cargo lift to fit the specifications, ensuring that it could handle the required load and height without compromising on safety or performance. The lift was designed with:
A compact frame to ensure efficient use of space, ideal for warehouse environments with limited space
A high-performance electric motor for smooth lifting and lowering of up to 500kg of goods
Safety features including overload protection, emergency stop button, and limit switches for smooth and safe operation
Open platform design with no guardrails, as per the customer’s request, while maintaining overall stability and safety by incorporating a floor-level sensor system that prevents accidental drops and ensures proper landing
Before shipping, the lift was rigorously tested for stability, smoothness, and durability to ensure it would perform reliably for years in the customer’s facility.
The client received the electric cargo lift and immediately put it to work. They reported excellent satisfaction with the product, especially noting:
The smooth, quiet operation of the lift, which made it ideal for the busy, active warehouse environment
The custom design without guardrails, which allowed them to move larger and heavier items efficiently between floors
The stability and safety features, even without the traditional railings, ensured that the lift operated safely under continuous daily use
The customer also noted that the electric cargo lift helped significantly reduce manual labor, increasing overall productivity by allowing warehouse workers to move goods faster and more efficiently.
Based on this positive experience, the customer is now considering additional units for other parts of their facility, marking the start of a long-term relationship with STONIMAGE.
