Lifts and loading platforms: how to choose the right model?
Choosing the ideal lift or loading platform is not always easy. Factors such as load, available space, intended use and the need to transport people along with the goods play a vital role in the final decision. It is therefore essential to consider a few key questions before making a commitment.
What is the required load capacity?
The first step is to define the load you need to transport. Whether it's light goods for small forklifts in bars and restaurants or heavy materials for logistics industries with large loading platforms, Hidral has the ideal solution for you. We offer load capacities from 50 kg, ideal for small spaces, up to 10 000 kg, perfect for industrial environments.
Will people accompany the goods?
Depending on the working environment, people may use the lift together with the load, as in the case of hotels or hospitals, where staff move between floors with the service trolleys. In this case, our combined models, which allow the transport of both people and goods, are the most efficient option. However, in industrial environments or logistics warehouses, where only goods are transported between levels, a dedicated loading platform may be more suitable.
Available space: what dimensions do you need?
The space available is also a determining factor. Depending on the conditions of the environment, it may not be possible to install a lift or loading platform because there is not enough space available. Hidral offers a wide variety of models with different dimensions to suit small spaces or large surfaces, such as those required in airports, shopping centres, private homes or in cases of building rehabilitation. Our team of specialists can advise you to find the best solution for the space you have.
What is the main use of the platform or lift?
The purpose of the lifting equipment also influences the choice of model. The needs of a restaurant or bar, where a small platform is required to transport food, are very different from those of a hospital, where robust and safe equipment is essential to move staff, beds and medical equipment between levels. In commercial environments such as the retailwhere the transport of heavy and bulky goods with customers is constant, our high-capacity platforms and lifts are the best choice.
At Hidral we understand that each sector has its own requirements, which is why we design lifts and loading platforms to suit each client's specifications in a wide variety of scenarios. Some examples are:
- Restaurants and bars. Small forklifts to speed up service between floors.
- Hotels. Solutions that allow guests and their luggage to be transported safely and securely.

– Retail. Lifts designed for the movement of goods and people in shops and shopping centres.
