Advanced Vertical Transport

Save space and reduce construction costs with MRL technology.

Machine Room-Less (MRL) lifts represent a significant technological leap in vertical transport. By containing all of the lift’s machinery within the shaft itself, rather than requiring a dedicated external plant room, MRL lifts offer unprecedented spatial efficiency for architects and developers.

Whether you are retrofitting a lift into an existing property or maximising the lettable floor space in a new build, our engineers will help you integrate a modern, energy-efficient system that perfectly balances affordability with high performance.

MRL CONFIGURATIONS

Machine Room-Less lifts for every environment.

While MRL technology is incredibly versatile, the specific configuration depends on your capacity requirements and structural constraints. We install MRL lifts across a wide variety of sectors, tailoring the mechanics to your exact spatial needs.

COMMERCIAL OFFICE
MRL Passenger Lifts

Fast, smooth, and highly efficient. Designed to handle steady passenger traffic in modern office blocks without sacrificing premium top-floor space to a traditional motor room.

RETAIL & LEISURE
Retail MRL Lifts

A space-saving solution for retail environments, allowing you to maximise your shop floor and storage areas while providing reliable, DDA-compliant access for your customers.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
Domestic MRL Lifts

Quiet, compact, and perfectly suited for luxury multi-storey homes and apartment complexes where allocating space for a dedicated machine room is simply not an option.

Expert integration for complex environments.

Every building presents a unique set of spatial challenges. From the initial structural survey to the precise configuration of the traction sheave and gearless motor, our engineering team ensures that your MRL lift’s specification is meticulously planned. We focus on integrating cutting-edge, space-saving lifting technology into your property safely and efficiently.

01 / Specification

Precision MRL specifications.

Before you choose an MRL lift, our consultants will thoroughly evaluate the unique spatial, acoustic, and weight requirements of your project. We ensure you receive the correct configuration—whether the motor sits at the top of the hoistway or at the bottom of the pit—to perfectly align with your building’s structural footprint.
02 / Installation

Directly employed engineers, rigorous standards.

Fitting all mechanical components, including the electronic controller and traction sheave, directly into the shaft requires exceptional engineering precision. Our directly employed, highly qualified engineers oversee the entire project, ensuring that your lift is installed safely, swiftly, and without the need for subcontractors.
