Planning to transform the City Skyline? UBS Hoists & Access can help.
For over 30 years UBS has been responsible for providing construction hoists & access solution to world class building projects throughout the UK.
As your project grows, one of the challenges you face is transporting personnel and materials to higher levels. UBS provides, supplies, and installs a range of high-capacity, high-speed passenger and material construction hoists, with capacities ranging from 500kg to 4000kg, along with the industry-recognised common tower system. We offer this service for all high-rise buildings across London and the rest of the UK.
UBS Goods hoists play a crucial role in efficient transportation for material handling on construction sites, warehouses, and industrial settings. We offer a range of Goods hoists up to 6.3 meters in length with a capacity of up to 2500kg. These hoists are designed to safely and efficiently transport heavy and bulky items between different levels of a building or structure. Goods hoists provide a reliable and convenient solution for moving construction materials, equipment, tools, and other goods, saving time and effort in manual handling and improving overall productivity.
Transport Platforms - We also offer high-capacity transport platforms with a load capaicity up to 6,000kg. Designed for efficiency and versatility, our platforms are ideal for safely transporting heavy materials, tools, and equipment to various levels on your construction site.
Our Passenger / Goods construction hoists are real work horses when it comes to hoists. A reliable strong and affordable option to meet most high-rise hoisting requirements. This hoist is certified to hoist both personnel and materials and can also be configured as a Twin Hoist. UBS have an array of different sized Passanger Goods Hoist, up to 3 meters wide and 5 meters in length with SWL loads ranging from 1200KG up to 4000kg (Mammoth).
Essential for vertical movement in construction, slipform hoists support the continuous pouring process of slipform construction by moving personnel, equipment, and materials seamlessly across building levels. This hoisting solution is designed to complement the slipform method, where concrete is continuously poured and formwork rises as it sets. UBS offers slipform hoist solutions tailored to your project’s specific requirements.
The Jumbo 25/50 Passenger/Goods Hoist is an excellent option for high-rise construction, boasting a payload capacity of 2,500 kg and a lifting speed of 36m/min. The hoist car is fully enclosed with internal dimensions of 2.5 x 5 x 2.8 metres (W x L x H), and features an impressive front-loading C gate that can be installed at base and floor level. Ideal for high-rise projects exceeding 100 metres, the 25/50 Jumbo is a trusted choice among UBS’s repeat clients for rapid and reliable vertical transport of materials and personnel.
The Mammoth Passenger/Goods hoist is the UK’s largest available construction hoist, capable of carrying up to 4,000 kg. This heavy-duty hoist is ideal for transporting large items, such as cladding panels or bathroom pods, alongside personnel to specific floor levels. The Mammoth model seamlessly integrates with our in-house common tower access systems, providing unparalleled support for complex high-rise requirements.
Mast Climbers offer a superior & economical Façade Access solution. Deck lengths up to 13m{single mast) , 35m{twin mast), payloads up to 5 tons and tie intervals of 12m; the working platform is adjusted to an ideal working height and offers an entirely safe and comfortable work environment, with optional roof for inclement weather. The installation/dismantle time is a fraction of scaffolding, and the overall project cost invariably much lower; Mast Climbers represent the future of Façade Access.
In urban construction, challenges like restricted ground space, crane availability, and project schedules require efficient solutions. UBS pioneered the introduction of the Common Tower in the UK and boasts one of the most experienced teams in this specialised access system. For decades, the UBS Common Tower has been a valuable asset for clients aiming to construct taller buildings more efficiently. The UBS Common Tower can accommodate up to six large Passenger/Goods hoists around its perimeter. To explore configurations, please contact our expert sales and estimating team.
UBS Chain Construction Hoists London provide precise lifting solutions for various project needs. These hoists utilise a chain mechanism for reliable vertical movement, making them suitable for tasks such as equipment installation, maintenance, and material handling on site. With a diverse range of load capacities, lifting heights, and configurations, UBS’s chain hoists meet a broad spectrum of lifting requirements.
During my involvement with UBS the promptness of any operational issues with the hoist was excellent and you always got us up and run the same day. Where possible you also talked to us through the issues on site which on a couple of occasions allowed us to resolve the issue on the spot.

UBS wagon turned up on site with all loads priest long (like stated in the method statement) they were pre-slung and away that person had to climb on the back of the wagon to attach the load to the crane, not only does this stop working at height it also saves time on site.
Sam

A few VERY minor issues with the hoists scrapping the gates as it goes up the mast, but always very prompt to come and service and address any issues. Management always very engaging and supervisors on site always willing to adapt to overcome issues that arise on site.

Erection and dismantle all done safely and call-outs were always dealt with quickly.
