Lifts in Retail Environments

At TJ Lift Solutions, we specialise in the supply, installation, maintenance, and modernisation of lifts in retail environments across the UK. Whether it’s a large shopping centre, department store, boutique retail unit, or multi-level supermarket, we provide safe, stylish, and efficient vertical transport solutions tailored to the needs of busy retail spaces.

In retail, customer experience is key. That’s why we design and install retail lift systems that not only meet functional requirements but also enhance accessibility, flow of movement, and the overall shopping environment. From passenger lifts for customer convenience to goods lifts for behind-the-scenes logistics, we offer end-to-end support to keep your business moving smoothly.

Retail Lift Solutions We Offer

Passenger Lifts for Retail

We install passenger lifts for shops, shopping centres, and multi-storey retail units. These lifts are designed for high traffic volumes and frequent use, with a focus on comfort, reliability, and aesthetics.

  • One-touch or hold-to-run controls
  • Energy-efficient drive systems
  • DDA-compliant lift access for all users
Goods and Service Lifts

Goods lifts for retail environments are essential for stock movement, loading bays, and storage areas. We provide robust, high-capacity service lifts suitable for handling trolleys, pallets, and heavy goods between floors.

  • Trolley lifts
  • Dumbwaiters for cafés and food courts
  • Bespoke goods-only or goods-with-attendant configurations
Platform Lifts and Accessibility Lifts

Retail accessibility is not only a legal requirement but also a key part of customer service. Our platform lifts and wheelchair lifts ensure compliance with Part M of the Building Regulations and the Equality Act.

  • Step-free access to mezzanines or raised areas
  • Compact spaces where a full passenger lift is not viable
  • Indoor and outdoor retail spaces
