Stannah - Everything you need to know about mezzanine goods lifts
04 June, 2024 / posted in Moving Goods, Advice For Owners, Service & Goods Lifts
What are mezzanine goods lifts? Also known as warehouse goods lifts or pallet lifts, mezzanine goods lifts serve mezzanine floors and intermediate levels between a building's secondary floors.
A mezzanine is an intermediate floor in a building that is partly open to the double-height floor below or does not extend over the whole floor space of the building. Mezzanines may serve a wide variety of functions. Industrial mezzanines, such as those used in warehouses, are often used to gain valuable additional space for stock, expansion of processes etc.
Lifts are often attached to the side or through the mezzanine to enable easier access to materials handling and to fully utilize a mezzanine floor.
Typically they are goods lifts for moving heavy, bulky stock in warehouses, factories and retail stores. They deliver dependable, cost-effective performance in various commercial environments, from rail stations, factories and warehouses to laundry facilities, stores and workshops.
Increasing efficiency and safety
Mezzanine lifting systems streamline access throughout the premises. They help you meet all standards, regulations, and directives, including health and safety at work and Manual Handling Operations 1992. This protects staff from the risks involved in repetitive lifting of heavy, bulky, awkward loads. It also keeps your operation running safely and efficiently by minimising employee downtime and the legal action that workplace injuries may incur.
Types of lifts that can serve mezzanine floors
Mezzanine floor lifts come in different sizes and capacities, from smaller models to heavy-duty goods lifts and goods-attendant lifts. All are designed to move loads of different weights, shapes and sizes. It’s important to choose the right lift solution for the job. Stannah offers a range of lifts for mezzanine floors that are supplied in their own structures, so fixing to the building is minimal, and the lift is installed in just days.
Larger mezz lifts are available as either goods-only or goods-attendant options. For in-car user safety, goods attendant lifts feature additional controls and emergency communication. Even a passenger or platform lift can act as a mezzanine lift, transporting people instead of goods to the upper floor.
If you need to move loads of 500 kg or less, then a smaller goods-only lift, such as a trolley Service Lift, which offers floor-level loading or a Microlift for small waist-height loading, also serves mezzanine floors.
What's involved in installing a mezz goods lift?
To install a mezz lift, all you need is the space, a pit for floor-level serving, or a ramp and a three-phase power supply, plus a small amount of builders' work. The lift installation engineers will do the rest and have your lift up and running in days, with minimum disruption to the business.
The mezzanine goods lift prices vary greatly, depending on the model and key requirements such as size and landing configuration, as well as your preferred customisation and finishing options.
The choices are endless, so if you want to unleash the full potential of your mezz floor by enabling easy movement and handling solutions, then the simplest option is to arrange a site visit by a reputable lift provider to find out how much your mezzanine goods lift will cost.
Two x 2000kg, 26-person 4-stop goods/passenger lifts operate from a service tunnel to the ground and mezzanine retail floors of King’s Cross rail station.

Stannah welcomes digital switchover extension
Originally planned for the end of 2025, BT now plans to complete the digital phone line switchover by early 2027. The move follows the introduction of a series of improvements to the programme to protect vulnerable customers and those with additional needs, including telecare users.
The extension is a move that Stannah particularly welcomes as it looks after thousands of stairlifts and homelifts across the UK, allowing domestic customers more time to ensure adequate emergency communication provision in the event of a power failure.
Stannah is urging businesses, like BT to prepare early for the digital switch, especially where a lift may need to upgrade to new equipment to ensure compatibility with a digital line.
The urgency of the early transition for businesses to move from old, analogue landlines onto digital landlines as soon as possible is that the 40-year-old analogue technology is increasingly fragile. Although the year extension allows lift owners more time to transition their lift communication devices, early preparation will enable appropriate budgeting and implementation time, particularly across more extensive portfolios.
To help lift owners who currently rely on PSTN lines for their emergency communication systems to prioritise upgrading to compliant alternatives, like GSM technology, Stannah can offer a cost-effective managed SIM solution as part of an upgrade.
Stannah’s managed SIM solution provides a reliable emergency communication system for all types of passenger and platform lifts, both Stannah's and other manufacturers. It uses a roaming SIM to ensure a strong signal by connecting to the most optimal network available.
To ensure a smooth transition and plan your lift’s auto-dialler digital transition before the switchover is complete, contact our team and start exploring a hassle-free managed SIM solution.
