What to Consider When Customizing Your Lift Solution

Custom equipment starts with understanding your operation and asking the right questions to guide the process.
- What are the weight, shape, and frequency of the loads being handled?
- What is the available space and floor plan of your facility?
- Will the lift integrate with other systems or processes?
- What level of precision or automation is required?
- Are there environmental, cleanroom, or safety compliance needs?

Frequently Asked Questions
Autoquip designs custom solutions for virtually any lifting need, including mechanical, hydraulic, and high-travel scissor lifts, multi-stage lifts, VRCs (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors), platform lifts, and more.
If your application has unique size, capacity, travel, or integration requirements that can’t be met with a standard lift, a custom solution is likely the best option. Our sales and design team can help evaluate your project to determine the right path.
To begin, we typically need details such as load capacity, platform size, vertical travel distance, lifting speed, duty cycle, environment (indoor/outdoor), and any special features or constraints (e.g., automation, safety, footprint limitations).
Yes, one of our strengths is engineering lifts that integrate with existing equipment, controls, or structural elements to fit seamlessly into your operations.
We’ve designed lifts with capacities ranging from a few hundred pounds to over 100,000 lbs. We’ll engineer the lift to match your specific weight requirements.
Absolutely. We can integrate advanced control systems, sensors, safety features, and automated functions for precise and efficient operation.
Yes. We offer full engineering services, including 3D modeling and detailed drawings available through our Autodocs customer portal.
