Lifts and escalators. Applications, relevance and development of production.
In large metropolitan cities, where buildings reach a hundred floors, lift sales keep growing and will remain relevant for a long time.
A lift is a lifting machine that moves vertically (up and down) and carries goods or people, depending on its intended use. The first lift is attributed to Archimedes, in 236 BC. Today, the cost of a lift depends not only on its classification but also on its drive:
- Electric drive. These lifts use an electric drive and an electronic lift controller, electrical safety devices and lighting, not counting other auxiliary components.
- Hydraulic drive. This type of drive is used mainly in low-rise buildings, where speed and travel are not critical and are, moreover, limited. A significant drawback of hydraulic lifts is the large amount of oil they use (180-220 liters). This carries an explosion hazard and is not environmentally friendly. Today this solution loses out to electric lifts, which need no oil and are safer to use.
Not only freight lifts (carrying goods, materials, and so on) but also passenger lifts deserve special attention. It is logical to assume that they come with different rated loads. To explain their specifics, the manufacturers we recommend and other points, we use a question-and-answer format below.
Which type of lift installation is the most suitable today?
We live in the 21st century, where everything is built on quality and convenience. Lifts used to require a machine room. For quite some time now, technology has allowed the MRL (machine-room-less) method. This approach helps cut electricity costs and save space. You can buy lifts from us. We supply, install and maintain Izamet lifts in Ukraine. Izamet has adopted this revolutionary type. So when you order a project from us, you can be sure that everything will be done with modern technology and that an MRL lift will be installed.
Which lifts are the most popular in Ukraine?
To begin with, Ukraine is a large, developed country with big urban centres. Lifts were invented to make moving around large buildings as convenient as possible. In developed cities all types of lifts are used: from freight lifts to passenger and home lifts. It all depends on the intended use of a particular lift or hoist.

Which company offers the most stable lift production?
There are several large factories on the market that can help with this. They include the Bulgarian company Izamet and the Spanish company MP: both have been making lifts for a long time and have extensive experience and certificates for operating in the European Union. We also offer lifts under our own brand, LIFTPORTAL, certified and built under our supervision.
What about escalators? Does the company handle such installations?
Of course! We have extensive experience installing both lifts and escalators.
An escalator is a structure, or lifting and conveying mechanism, that looks like a staircase inclined at 30-35 degrees and is used to move people conveniently between levels (metro stations, shopping malls, and so on).
Our solutions are always reliable, so when you buy escalators you can be sure that the design, the installation and the equipment itself will be of the highest quality. This applies not only to escalators but also to the lifts in our range. SRBK Portal is always ready to stand as a guarantor of quality and high performance.
