The average size of a goods lift is dictated by the goods. For smaller sizes, typically as seen in an average store, warehouse, or hotel, you will normally see a car size that measures about 6'6" x 7', which would have a 4' door. The intermediate size or middle lift is likely to have a car size of 8’ x 10’ with a 6’ door. The large lifts can be as big as 12' x 15' with an 8’ door. In factories where heavy machinery or vehicle movement occurs, a goods lift can be as large as 15’ x 20’ with a 10' door.
Types of industrial lifts, such as hydraulic or mast-type lifts, typically have open platforms. These will vary in size primarily from 1000mm x 1500mm to 2000mm x 2500mm and will also vary in load capacity from 500 kilograms to above 5,000 kilograms. A goods lift manufacturer will always assist you in deciding what would be the appropriate sizes for any goods lifts that you require, based on your cargo load and the available area
