Freight Elevators

Scissors or Column

We are a Canadian designer and manufacturer of custom lifting solutions to clients who have to believe that their lifting problems are near impossible to solve. Working hand in hand with our clients, within the framework of our very own
Ergo-Innovation Program™, we find ways to push back the limits of the impossible. Our whole focus is on improving productivity.

The vast majority of freight elevators that are annually produced by Plafolift are custom-made to order for medium and large size businesses intent on acquiring safe, durable products. Some of these models are offered for sale (see pictures).
