In many industrial and commercial environments, moving heavy goods between floors is a daily task. While forklifts are often used for such operations, they are not always the most efficient, safe, or feasible option—especially when dealing with narrow spaces, mezzanines, or areas with strict safety requirements.

So what’s the best alternative when you need to frequently lift heavy cargo to the second floor without a forklift?

一、Install a Vertical Cargo Lift (Goods Lift)

Key Benefits:

Heavy Load Capacity: Can carry 500kg to over 5 tons
Custom Sizes: Platform size can be tailored to fit large equipment or pallets
Space-saving Design: Installed in a shaft or corner, no need for forklift aisles
Safe Operation: Equipped with safety locks, limit switches, and control panels

It’s ideal for factories, warehouses, mezzanines, and logistics centers where vertical transport is frequent and efficiency is critical.

二、Use a Pit-Mounted Scissor Lift

If your workspace allows for a pit installation, a scissor lift platform offers a robust solution for lifting heavy goods to a mezzanine or second floor.

Advantages:

Stable Lifting: Smooth vertical motion, no lateral movement
High Load Rating: Suitable for heavy-duty use
Easy Loading: Can be driven over by pallet jacks or trolleys

Scissor lifts are commonly used in manufacturing plants, auto workshops, and equipment warehouses where repetitive vertical movement is required.

If you frequently need to lift heavy goods to the second floor and want a safe, efficient, and professional solution, installing a customized vertical cargo lift or scissor lift platform is your best choice.
