Lifting platforms: they're practical, versatile, robust... and beautiful too!
Elevating platforms are distinguished from elevators by their reduced speed as well as by the specific reference standard with which they are designed.
If, compared to elevators, lifting platforms gain in practicality and versatility and are highly suitable for transporting heavy loads or overcoming architectural barriers, on the other hand they are no match for elevators when it comes to design.
A lifting platform can be as beautiful and elegant as an elevator, custom-designed and built by Maspero Elevatori in size, shape, materials, and interior finishes.
Types of platforms
Elevating platforms are adapted to a wide variety of contexts and are distinguished by type of installation and operation.

Why choose a Maspero Elevatori vertical lifting platform
There are many reasons why we recommend that our clients install a vertical lifting platform instead of an elevator, but the main one lies in its intended use.
If you need to transport heavy loads or access with bulky objects, or if you need to enable architectural barriers to be overcome easily and effectively, the vertical lifting platform is the type of installation that is right for you.
Reliable, sturdy, and convenient to use, the vertical lifting platform has a lower speed than the elevator, but it has nothing to envy the latter installation, not even in terms of design.
Maspero Elevatori designs and manufactures any type of vertical lifting platform for any use and need, offering original and customized solutions, whether for private installations, or for public infrastructure, commercial activities or industry.
Check out some solutions in the gallery that favored the installation of a vertical lifting platform.

Borderless horizons with a panoramic Maspero Elevatori lifting platform
For your enclosed lift platform, when the lift run includes at least one free side, you might decide to have a panoramic cabin built, gaining a great deal in user enjoyment.
A panoramic lift platform gives users a ride that allows them to enjoy the surrounding landscape, such as within an archaeological site, or along a coastal slope, without the confining effect of an enclosed cabin.
A panoramic elevating platform is always custom-made by Maspero Elevatori in its atelier near Como.

Challenging routes? Curves? Changing slopes? The inclined platform overcomes it all!
Is the path of your inclined platform particularly winding and difficult, with ambients of slope and direction?

Rack and pinion platform: robustness and practicality
The rack and pinion platform consists of a rod gear that, thanks to a toothed wheel, allows the elevation of the installation. Mainly used on construction sites because of its strength and practicality in transporting people and goods, the rack and pinion platform is suitable, for example, for towers, bridges, and industrial plants, allowing travel of considerable altitude safely.
Maspero Elevatori will guide you in choosing the vertical handling system best suited to your needs, and if rack and pinion flatbed turns out to be the most advantageous option, they will study the design and tailor the system for you.

Oleodynamic platform: quiet, reliable and versatile
The hydraulic or oleodynamic platform works through pistons placed inside cylinders filled with pressurized mineral oil, operated through a hydraulic pump that pushes or pulls liquid, depending on whether the hydraulic platform needs to go up or down.
No counterweights are needed, allowing the platform to be installed in small spaces.
This traction system, quiet and capable of ensuring a smooth ride, is suitable for medium height buildings (up to 6-7 stories).
Maspero Elevatori will guide you in choosing the vertical handling system best suited to your needs, and if a hydraulic platform is found to be the most suitable, they will study the design and tailor the system for you.
