OUR PRODUCTS
Low pit lifts are an ideal solution when traditional lift installations are restricted by site conditions or building constraints.
Designed with a minimal pit depth requirement, these lifts offer a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to standard lifts — without compromising on safety, performance, or comfort.
We offer a wide range of low pit lift options for various applications. Below you’ll find just a few of the options available
What Are Low Pit Lifts?
Low pit lifts are passenger or platform lifts engineered to operate with a shallow or reduced pit depth beneath the lift shaft. Unlike conventional lifts which often require deep pits for installation, low pit lifts need significantly less excavation, making them perfect for refurbishment projects, heritage buildings, or properties with limited underground space.

Where Are Low Pit Lifts Used?
Low pit lifts are widely used in locations where space or structural limitations prevent installation of traditional lifts, including:
What is EN81-21?
EN 81-21 is the European safety standard that specifically covers lifts installed with a “low pit,” typically defined as a pit depth of less than 500 mm. Low pit lifts are often used in existing buildings where space constraints make a standard pit depth impractical. The standard sets out requirements to ensure the safety of both passengers and maintenance personnel, including structural integrity, safe access for inspections, proper landing clearances, and protection against entrapment or contact with moving parts. It also addresses lift design features such as limiting devices, emergency lowering systems, and compliance with maintenance access protocols. For building owners and lift operators, adherence to EN 81-21 is essential to ensure legal compliance, safe operation, and insurance coverage.
