Published: 05/24/2021

Standard lifts are rarely one size fits all. With diversified and ever-changing needs, you may require a specialized lift for a unique application with our available custom design features. Our team at Autoquip can help you design and install a custom lift solution perfect for your business’ needs. 

Every Application Is Unique

A “one size fits all” material handling lift may not provide the functionality needed to achieve the task at hand. For example, your company may need the lift to perform multiple functions, which can’t be done with standard catalog of lift equipment. You’ll need design options that best suit your unique lift requirements.

In this case, you can:

  • Use a scissor lift with a conveyor on the platform that integrates with an assembly process. 
  • Use a mobile lift to move to different work stations around a plant.
  • Applying lift synchronization, automation, and variable speeds by adding a control system can also help. 
  • Design a custom work platform lift to improve ergonomics for aerospace tooling.
  • Customize high hinge tilter for drywall application.

Our experts always design durable equipment precisely to your dimensions and specifications. Not only that, our designs will also provide you with quality lifting equipment that can seamlessly integrate into your current or legacy systems.

Autoquip Excels at Customization

A custom lift system allows you to implement any of your desired capabilities into the lift application. At Autoquip, it’s our mission to customize your lift to the specific requirements you need to achieve complete accuracy, positioning, safety, durability, and speed. These customization options, designed with our innovative control solutions, give you complete control of your lift. 

Some of our customizable design options include:

  • Controls
  • Mobility
  • Platform shuttle & extensions 
  • Tilt
  • Speed
  • Lift deflection
  • Turn and rotate
  • Indexing & Automation
  • Safety

Our customizable options are a big reason why custom Autoquip lifts have seen success in a number of different industries ranging from the aerospace and automotive industries to the entertainment and manufacturing industries. 

Working With Autoquip: The Custom Lift Equipment Leader

The idea behind a custom lift is to get you the control and functionality necessary for your application. We offer a wide selection of options and features to create a one-of-a-kind lift for you. 

Just like with any custom design, just tell us what you need and our experts will create the custom lift to meet your needs. During our design process, we’ll show you drawings of the equipment with the specifications you requested. We will make recommendations to the equipment based on our expert knowledge. 

Finally, we’ll take the time to answer all of your questions and provide you with a full explanation of the equipment design.
