ASPAR Knowledge Base
ASPAR brings together practical guidance on selecting and implementing lifting equipment. The Knowledge Base helps customers prepare input data, compare solution types, understand the delivery process and move to the relevant product, service or completed project.
Where to start
Choose the question that matches your current requirement:
- equipment is needed for people with disabilities and other people with reduced mobility;
- goods need to move between levels;
- a service lift and a goods lift need to be compared;
- project input data need to be prepared;
- installation, maintenance or modernization needs to be assessed.
Accessibility and equipment for people with reduced mobility
Start with the guide to selecting an accessibility lift. If the site allows different travel paths, the comparison guide explains how vertical and inclined platform lifts differ. For a specific category and quotation, continue to the commercial accessibility equipment page.
Goods and service lifting solutions
Load weight alone is not enough to select a goods lift. ASPAR also needs the lift height, number of levels, platform dimensions, loading directions, installation conditions and available power supply. Separate guides help compare goods lifts, scissor lift tables and service lifts. The final choice follows an assessment of the actual site.
Guidance for architects and building designers
These resources cover geometry, levels, openings, platform space, installation conditions, power supply and the input data required for ASPAR equipment. Design work and drawings relate to ASPAR's own equipment and integrated solutions. ASPAR is not presented as a standalone drawing bureau for third-party machinery.
Installation, maintenance and modernization
This cluster explains service processes and boundaries. It does not replace an assessment of a particular unit. Modernization begins with an inspection and a feasibility decision. Maintenance intervals must follow the requirements of the specific equipment rather than a universal schedule.
Regulatory and certification context
ASPAR maintains a separate guide for verified certification and regulatory statements. Certification of an equipment category does not automatically establish compliance of an entire building. Project decisions require their own review.
Completed projects as evidence
When a completed project demonstrates the subject of a guide, the Knowledge Base links to that case. This lets readers inspect equipment in a real setting, verified parameters and the documented result.
Need guidance for your site?
Send ASPAR a description of the requirement, photographs or drawings if available. The team will review the input data and identify the equipment or service route worth evaluating.
