Modern manufacturing facilities are demanding environments where balancing workforce safety and productivity is an ongoing challenge. Traditional access methods often require sacrificing one for the other, leading to increased risks or lower throughput. Consider adding personnel lifts to your processes as the ideal solution for creating safer, more efficient operations.
Industrial lifts are aerial work platforms (AWPs) designed for safe, precise positioning for personnel working at height in manufacturing facilities. AWPs offer both stability and maneuverability so workers can fully focus on their tasks. For example, customized access lifts for welding can maneuver employees around irregularly shaped parts, while maintenance access lifts enable mechanics to service areas or equipment that was previously inaccessible.
Other common applications for industrial AWPs include:
LPI Lift Solutions is at the forefront of innovation in customized personnel lifts for manufacturing processes. Our top-quality solutions drive value in many industries and include various lifting mechanisms like:
Access lifts for manufacturing are about more than equipment — they’re about creating a human-centered manufacturing environment that also supports a healthier bottom line.

f your workforce has relied on conventional access solutions like ladders and scaffolding, you already know they fall short of achieving your safety and efficiency goals. Employees frequently have to relocate this equipment as production progresses. Plus, these options aren’t ergonomic. Your workers typically stretch or reach to accomplish their tasks, which means higher injury risks.
Customized lifts address these challenges. They’re versatile solutions with different design approaches, enabling you to tailor them to your workflows and products. Industrial lifts also eliminate those awkward working postures, promoting streamlined workflows and lessening injury potential.
When you install access lifts, you no longer have to choose between high safety and high efficiency. With customized lifts to maneuver personnel safely, your employees regain the time they previously spent relocating access equipment. That means more time to concentrate on production while also working more comfortably.
Standard, pre-engineered lifts aren’t the best option for unique applications. If they’re not specifically designed for the task at hand, parts and equipment can fail, leading to substantial downtime.
Conversely, a fully personalized solution is precisely developed to withstand your production processes and operating environment. This approach creates a measurable return on investment (ROI) through a longer lifespan, more uptime and fewer repair costs.
For over 40 years, we have partnered with manufacturers nationwide to create customized industrial lifts with an unrelenting passion for employee well-being. We combine our extensive industry experience and expertise with a consultative approach to meet your specific needs and solve your safety challenges when working at height.
All lifts feature American-made quality, and we test them for 100% functionality before they leave our factory. We’re with you after installation, too, with lifelong technical support and routine lift inspection services from traveling technicians.

LPI offers an option for trained technicians to assist with the start-up and installation of your LPI industrial lifts which includes training for both your operators and your maintenance personnel. This service is also available after the sale as a refresher or augmentation to your current training or maintenance program. To learn more about Lift Operator Training, Start-Up Installation, and Lift Maintenance Programs, please contact LPI customer service or call 1-800-657-6956
Lifts should be inspected at least once a year, and more often if they’re used heavily or in harsh environments. Key wear items should be checked during routine maintenance, and any parts showing damage or excessive wear should be replaced right away. We recommend following your facility’s safety practices along with the inspection and maintenance guidance outlined in ANSI A92.22 Sections 5.4 and 5.5 to keep your lift operating safely and reliably.
Installation instructions are located in the Operators Manual that comes with your lift system (located in the plastic holder in the operator platform). Lifts should only be installed by qualified personnel. If you have any questions with regard to the installation of your lifts, please contact LPI customer service or call 1-800-657-6956.
