Can the VB1000 lift transport both goods and passengers?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike standard freight-only solutions, the VB1000 is officially certified for both cargo and passenger transportation. It can safely transport heavy loads, accompanying personnel, and wheelchair users, making it a highly versatile investment for modern public, commercial, and industrial buildings.

What is the maximum lifting capacity and platform size of the VB1000?

The VB1000 service lift is engineered for heavy-duty performance. It features a spacious 2470 x 1400 mm platform and offers a powerful lifting capacity of up to 1,000 kg (or a maximum capacity of 8 people).

What is the difference between a freight-only lift and a goods-passenger lift?

A freight-only lift (cargo lift) is strictly designed to transport materials, and human transport is strictly prohibited. A goods-passenger lift (like the Barduva VB1000) is engineered and certified to safely carry both heavy freight and passengers or accompanying personnel. Choosing a goods-passenger lift offers significantly higher flexibility and safety for commercial and public buildings.

Is a special reinforced concrete shaft and a deep pit required for the installation of a goods platform lift?

In modern practice, complex construction work or deep foundation pits are completely unnecessary. The platform lift is ideal for integration into existing buildings, as it requires a minimal pit depth of just 130 mm. The equipment features a screw-driven propulsion system and can reach a lifting height of up to 15 meters (up to 6 stops).

Enhancing Accessibility: New Adjustable Ramp Option Introduced for the RB150 Platform Lift

At Barduva, we are committed to continuous engineering innovation, which is why we are introducing our new platform lift adjustable ramp option. To better serve the evolving needs of our global partners, installers, and end-users, we regularly expand our range of practical upgrades across our lift lineup.

Our latest enhancement is the Adjustable Additional Ramp for the popular RB150 vertical platform lift.

This new option is specifically engineered to address real-world installation challenges where minor floor gradients or threshold differences exist at the lower landing.

Adaptable Gradient Compensation: Designed to accommodate surface inclines (such as 1–2% slopes), ensuring a completely smooth and obstacle-free transition for wheelchair users.

Whether for private residences or commercial accessibility projects, this new ramp option allows for greater flexibility during installation without sacrificing aesthetics or safety.

We remain dedicated to listening to feedback from architects, distributors, and technicians to continuously refine our products. Stay tuned to our news section for more upcoming product options and technical updates!
