Alimak TPL & TPM
Alimak Transport Platforms (TPL & TPM)
The Ultimate Logistics Solution for Bulky Materials and Mid-Rise Construction.
Enclosed passenger hoists are built for speed, but what happens when your materials don’t fit through the door? Alimak Transport Platforms provide the wide-open deck space and heavy-duty ramps needed to seamlessly move oversized drywall pallets, scaffolding, large glazing units, and your work crews in a single trip.
Dual-Function Efficiency for Your Job Site
For low-to-medium rise developments, commercial renovations, and sprawling resort projects across the Caribbean, speed isn’t always the primary bottleneck-space is.
The Alimak TPL (Transport Platform for Personnel and Material) and TPM (Transport Platform for Materials) ranges offer a highly cost-effective alternative to traditional enclosed hoists. Operating on a robust rack and pinion mast system, these open-car platforms are specifically engineered for dual-functionality: safely elevating large teams of tradesmen alongside the awkwardly shaped, bulky materials they need to do their jobs.
Engineered for Heavy, Awkward Payloads
1. Oversized Loading Ramps
Stop breaking down pallets by hand. Our transport platforms feature wide, fold-down loading ramps. This allows a forklift or pallet jack to drive materials directly onto the platform deck at the ground level, and lets crews roll them straight off onto the working slab, drastically reducing manual handling injuries and cycle times.
2. Dual-Mode Operation (Personnel & Material)
The Alimak TPL features a smart dual-control system. When transporting materials only, it can operate at a higher speed (up to 24 m/min) to clear the loading dock quickly. When personnel are on board, a simple key switch shifts the platform into a regulated, code-compliant passenger speed (12 m/min) to ensure absolute worker safety.
3. Fast, Lightweight Installation
Compared to heavy-duty construction elevators, transport platforms utilize a lighter, highly adaptable mast system. They can be tied directly to the building slab or integrated seamlessly into existing scaffolding structures. This makes erection, dismantling, and relocation incredibly fast-ideal for dynamic job sites with multiple low-rise structures.
4. Cost-Effective Vertical Logistics
If your project is under 15 stories, investing in a high-speed Scando hoist might be overkill. Transport platforms provide the legendary safety and reliability of Alimak’s rack and pinion technology at a fraction of the operating cost, offering a superior ROI for mid-rise contractors.
