Bespoke Hoist Design & Engineering
Tailored vertical access solutions — designed around your site, your programme, and your load requirements
At Archis Hoist Solutions, our design and engineering team creates fully tailored hoist configurations to meet the demands of modern construction and refurbishment projects. From compact transport platforms to high-capacity twin-mast systems, each hoist is designed for safe, compliant, and programme-aligned delivery.
We combine in-house design expertise with the latest Alimak hoist technology to produce site-specific access solutions — whether for occupied refurbishments, complex façades, scaffold-supported logistics, or high-rise cores. Every system we propose is backed by clear RAMS, lifting plans, and technical drawings for stakeholder approval.
Engineered Access That Works For Your Site
Our design and engineering process begins with a full assessment of your access constraints, lifting needs, and project milestones. We work closely with your temporary works coordinator or site manager to plan safe hoist routes, tie positions, gate access, and scaffold integration.
From there, our team delivers:
- Technical drawings and layout plans
- LOLER-compliant documentation
- Project-specific risk assessments
- Detailed method statements
- Temporary works coordination and handover packs
Every hoist is configured to suit your working area, height, façade type, and loading needs — avoiding generic templates and maximising efficiency.
We assess crane use, site access, phasing, and delivery strategy to determine the optimal hoist positioning for minimal disruption and maximum output.
Where hoists are being mounted onto or alongside scaffolding, we coordinate tie positions and load paths with your scaffold contractor or design team.
Our engineers produce all required documentation, including RAMS, lifting plans, compliance sheets, and handover certifications.
