Lift engineering, Pisa, Italy

We design, we calculate, we take it to production.

Lifts, cabins, slings, shaft structures: all made to measure, starting from your specification and from how you will build it. No specification yet? We write it together. And we put you in touch with the people in the supply chain who can work with you.

What we do

Four activities, one industry.

We design, we calculate, we write software and we give manufacturers a hand. Lifts, and only lifts.

  1. 01

    Design

    Cabins, slings, steel shafts and shaft structures, complete lifts: we design in 3D and produce every document in the format you prefer.

  2. 02

    Calculation

    FEM analysis of components or assemblies, and signed structural reports for lift towers, ready for filing with the Italian building authority.

  3. 03

    Software

    DRIV, Truss and Nexum: configurator, steel shafts, product rules.

  4. 04

    Consulting

    Standards, processes, product and technical documentation.

01 · Design

From the single component to the complete lift.

3D model, calculation, shop drawings. We have done complete hydraulic, gearless and geared lifts. Always under NDA: your drawings stay yours.

Complete lifts

Lifts and platforms, from the shaft plan to the data sheet.

With DRIV

Cabins

The modular one with interchangeable walls, and the special ones.

Slings

Hydraulic and gearless, FEM-verified. The XF family goes from 200 to 2000 kg.

Shaft structures

Steel shafts in profiles, doors and cladding, already checked.

With Truss

Portfolio

Some of our work.

Components we designed, structures we calculated and filed, checks on clients' products. For each one: what was asked and what we delivered.

02 · Calculation

Every part reaches the workshop already verified.

Calculation is part of the design, not an afterthought. FEM on the structures and a report ready for the technical file.

  • StructuresSlings, car frames and steel structures, by finite elements
  • LiftGuide rails, brackets, ropes, pulleys and hydraulic circuit, to EN 81-20/50, EN 81-41, EN 81-42 and the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
  • NTC 2018Reports for filing with the Italian building authority: steel shafts, support frames, canopies
  • ReportAssumptions, loads, models and results, readable even by someone who didn't run the calculation

03 · Software

What we design, we make configurable.

Three pieces of software born from our own work. Product rules become a configurator, calculations run on their own, documents come out of the same data. No more copy and paste.

DRIV

From quotation to production, one single flow.

Web app: configurator, quotation with drawings, bill of materials, purchasing, production, after-sales.

Truss

The shaft structure, from measurements to cutting.

For Windows, steel shafts: DXF with title block, IFC, bill of materials and shop-floor prints.

Nexum

Product rules, written once and found at once.

For Windows, technical knowledge: rules with images, releases, search, Word manuals.

How they work together

Who we work for

Those who manufacture, install and build.

We work for the people who make lifts and the people who put them into buildings. Not for the general public.

  • Lift manufacturers

    Components and complete lifts, checks for the technical file, configurators that turn your rules into quotations and bills of materials.

    Design and calculation

  • Installers and maintainers

    Structures and frames calculated and ready for filing, special cabins for existing lifts, complete lifts with DRIV.

    Calculation reports

  • Steel fabricators and workshops

    Drawings ready for cutting and bending, bills of materials, DXF. Designs made to be built, with as few welds as possible.

    Drawings and BOMs

  • Designers and contractors

    Steel shaft, canopy, machine-room frame: the steel part of the installation, calculated to the Italian NTC 2018.

Technical notes

What we are asked most often.

Short notes on standards, calculation and design: what you need, what we check, what we deliver.

Steel lift shaft: what is needed for filing with the Italian building authorityA steel shaft in profiles is a structural work: before it goes up it has to be filed. Here's what we prepare and what we need from you.EN 81-20 or EN 81-41: what changes in the calculation of a slingThe same frame can be a lift sling or a platform sling: it depends on the standard, and the installation decides the standard.FEM check of a component: what we check and what we deliverA coloured map is not a check. Here's how we go from your 3D to a report for the technical file.
