SOLUTIONS FOR RETAIL FACILITIES
Lifts for shopping malls, stores and retail centres
For a retail facility, ASPAR assesses visitor accessibility and goods movement separately. An accessibility platform and goods-handling equipment solve different tasks and require different input data.
Two different scenarios
First define the task: an accessible visitor route or internal goods logistics.
Entrance access
A vertical or inclined platform according to the entrance, stair and landing geometry.
Goods between levels
A cargo or service lift according to load weight, dimensions and loading method.
Reconstruction
Integration into existing space with visitor flow and installation constraints considered.
The task ASPAR solves
ASPAR separates accessibility and logistics scenarios and checks the route or load characteristics, height, available space and operating conditions.
Recommended solution types
Vertical platforms
For overcoming a level change along an accessible route.
Learn moreInclined stair platforms
For integration along a stair flight where the geometry allows it.
Learn moreCargo lifts
For moving goods between levels as a separate task.
Learn moreWhat determines the selection
For accessibility, provide the route geometry; for logistics, provide the load and loading data.
- task type: accessibility or logistics
- height, route or levels
- stairs, landings or opening
- load and platform
- indoor or outdoor conditions
- photos, plan and use pattern
Retail project in Kyiv
Stainless inclined lift at a shopping-centre entrance
ASPAR implemented an inclined platform for accessibility at a shopping-centre entrance. For another site, route, material and controls are determined by entrance conditions and visitor flow.
View the projectIntegration and site preparation
The platform trajectory, landings, entry, guarding, visitor flow and installation access are checked. Goods-handling equipment is assessed separately from the load data.

Frequently asked questions
Can one lift solve accessibility and logistics?
These are normally different tasks: an accessibility platform supports the user route, while goods-handling equipment moves products.
What is required for an entrance level change?
Photos, basic dimensions, height or stair route, landings and entry direction.
What is required for goods movement?
Weight, dimensions, levels, platform, loading method and site conditions.
ASPAR equipment for a retail facility
The visitor route, internal goods flow and loading area are considered separately according to actual site conditions.
- For a visitor-access route: Cable-driven vertical platform lift, Chain-driven vertical platform lift, Hydraulic vertical platform lift, Straight-stair inclined platform lift, Inclined platform lift with change of direction, Curved inclined platform lift, Scissor platform lift for accessibility.
- For a loading interface: Recessed electrohydraulic dock leveler; mobile alternatives where the task requires them are Mobile loading ramp and Mobile loading ramp with level platform.
