Lift Systems
Lift Package
Powered by Rigid Chain Technology, engineered as a complete system. The Lift Package supplies a nearly complete lift — everything that makes it a functioning vertical transportation system, coordinated by the people who designed the drive that powers it.
What remains with your team is installation and commissioning, which for most contractors is precisely the part they want to keep.
Why this is a procurement decision, not a technical one
At Lift Package scope the argument is rarely about capability. It is about how many interfaces the project has to manage. A lift assembled from separately procured car, guides, safety gear and controls has a coordination burden that lands on the main contractor — and the failure mode is not usually a component fault but an interface that nobody owned.
A single engineering source removes those interfaces. Procurement simplifies, system compatibility is designed in rather than discovered, and the integration problems that surface during commissioning largely disappear because they were resolved on a drawing months earlier.

It lets contractors receive a fully coordinated lift system from a single engineering source while retaining control over site installation and programme. On a construction project where the lift is one sequenced trade among many, keeping installation in-house is often the whole point — you know your programme better than any supplier does.
Refurbishment
The Lift Package is particularly well matched to refurbishment and modernisation, where the existing shaft, pit and structure are fixed and the engineering effort goes into making a coordinated system fit them. Rigid chain helps here for the same reasons it helps everywhere in existing buildings — no machine room, no borehole, shallow pit — but the coordination value is what usually decides the package.
Frequently asked questions
Installation and commissioning. The Lift Package supplies a complete engineered lift for your team to install; Turnkey adds installation, commissioning, testing, validation and handover by SERAPID.
Yes — the car or platform, guide systems, structural lift elements, safety hardware, engineered mechanical assemblies and integrated controls, alongside the drive train.
Because the common failure mode on multi-supplier lift procurement is an interface nobody owned, and those surface during commissioning when they are most expensive. A single engineering source designs the interfaces out.
It is one of the strongest fits. The existing shaft and structure are fixed, so the value is in a coordinated system engineered to suit them — and rigid chain needs no machine room or borehole, which is usually what makes refurbishment viable.
Yes. Engineering support and supervision can be arranged at Lift Package scope, and a Training Package can prepare your installation team before they start.
Partner with SERAPID
Successful lift projects begin with clearly defined responsibilities and the right level of engineering support. Whether you need a standalone Drive Train, a complete Lift Package, or a fully installed Turnkey Lift, SERAPID provides the expertise, technology, and flexibility required to deliver exceptional results.
Our engineering specialists work closely with architects, consultants, contractors, OEMs, and building owners to determine the optimal scope of supply before design and construction begin. By defining the right project boundary early, you can reduce risk, improve coordination, and ensure a smoother path to successful project completion.
Whatever your application, SERAPID offers a lift solution that fits your project — and a scope of supply that fits your team.
