A New Approach to Material Lifts – The BAVARIA Ladder Lift from MAUDERER
Ladder lifts are used whenever building materials need to be transported to higher levels without heavy equipment. They are indispensable aids on construction sites, during renovation work, for moving, and for the installation or maintenance of solar systems. Without the use of cranes or hoisting machinery, these ladder lifts enable material transport to a higher loading point or work area.
Such ladder lifts typically consist of a rail and a load carrier, solar lifts often feature a special solar platform. The lift is typically powered by electricity, a motor, or a battery. MAUDERER takes the material lift a step further, thereby excelling in customer-friendliness.
The BAVARIA ladder lift is even lighter, even easier to set up, and even simpler to operate than many other roof lifts, making it a true innovation on the market.
The most compact solution for lifting materials
The BAVARIA ladder lift is based on a classic two-section extension ladder (type 920) – also from the popular BAVARIA product range – onto which the lift’s individual components can be fitted in just a few minutes. Thanks to its low weight and the use of high-quality aluminium components, the lift offers maximum efficiency – including in terms of ergonomics. It is powered by a standard cordless screwdriver; no tools are required for assembly. This means: no heavy battery system, no annoying tangled cables, but instead complete flexibility on the building site. Discover all the advantages the BAVARIA ladder lift offers you compared to conventional material lifts.
