A short guide to choosing the perfect lift or platform at Hidral

Choosing the ideal lift or platform is not always a simple matter. Factors such as load, available space, intended use and the need to transport people with the goods play an essential role in the final decision. It is therefore essential to consider some key questions before reaching a conclusion.

What is the required load capacity?

The first step is to define the load you need to transport. Whether they are light goods for small lifts in bars and restaurants or heavy loads for logistics industries with large platforms, at Hidral you will find your ideal solution. 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 work environment, people may use the lift along with the load, as in the case of hotels or hospitals, where staff will move between floors with service trolleys. When it comes to this, our combined models, which allow for the transport of both people and goods, are the most efficient option. However, in industrial environments or logistics warehouses, where only the goods are transported between levels, an exclusive loading platform may be more suitable.

Available space: what dimensions do you need?

Available space is also a determining factor. Depending on the surrounding conditions, it may not be possible to install a lift or loading platform due to insufficient area. 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 when renovating buildings. Our team of specialists can help you find the best solution for your space.

What is the main use of the platform or lift?

The intended 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 a robust and safe equipment is essential to move personnel, beds and medical equipment between levels. In commercial environments such as retail, where the transport of heavy and bulky goods with customers is constant, our high-capacity platforms and lifts are the best option.

At Hidral we understand that each sector has its own requirements, which is why we design lifts and loading platforms that meet the specifications of each client in a wide variety of cases. Some examples are:

- Restaurants and bars. Small goods lifts to streamline service between floors.

- Hotels. Solutions that allow both guests and their luggage to be transported safely.

- Logistics and storage. High-capacity platforms to move heavy goods efficiently.

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

- Hospitals. Safe and reliable equipment that facilitates the transport of patients and medical equipment.

- Clean Zones. Pharmaceutical laboratories, chip manufacturers or biochemists are some examples of facilities with very particular needs in which we install solutions for the transport of internal goods.
