Construction Hoists & Construction Elevators Rack-and-Pinion Personnel & Material Access
SEKLIFT manufactures rack-and-pinion construction hoists for temporary transport of personnel and materials between construction-site landings. Also specified as construction elevators, these systems are selected by transport duty, payload, cage access and site interfaces—not by a product name alone. Compare the SM-GTP-101 single- or dual-cabin configuration with the compact SM-GTP-103. Send your travel height, landing count, intended users and materials, required load and site country for a project-specific configuration review.

Construction hoist, construction elevator or personnel hoist?
A construction elevator or site hoist describes site-level vertical transport; “buck hoist” is a regional term used in North America. A rack-and-pinion hoist describes the drive arrangement. None of these names alone establishes permission to carry people. A personnel and material hoist must be specified for its intended users and load, with the offered rating, operating instructions and landing arrangement confirmed.
Which configuration should a buyer review?
Start with the SM-GTP-101 single-cabin model, its dual-cabin configuration or the compact SM-GTP-103. Compare the actual cage access and loading requirements. Two cabins do not create a single cage with twice the payload; ratings and permitted loading must be confirmed per cabin.
Review the SM-GTP-101 technical evidence note and construction-hoist documentation checklist, then request a hoist configuration. Model conformity records do not replace site-specific base, tie, landing, installation and acceptance review.
Select the Right Personnel and Material Hoist for the Project
The SEKLIFT construction-hoist range is organized around two clear duty classes: a compact one-ton system for constrained sites and a high-capacity platform for demanding personnel and material transport. Model codes remain unchanged while the new product names make each system easier to understand, specify, and search.

Use these published model figures as a procurement starting point. Final capacity, permissible load combinations, cabin arrangement, interfaces and conformity must be confirmed for the selected project configuration.
| Model | Application | Rated capacity | Personnel capacity | Speed | Maximum published height | Cabin arrangement | Technical review required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SM-GTP-101 | High-capacity rack-and-pinion personnel and material transport | 2,500 kg per cabin | 23 persons per cabin | 36, 54 or 90 m/min | 200 m* | Single or dual cabin | Load combination, travel, landings, site power, anchoring and operating conditions |
| SM-GTP-103 | Compact personnel and material transport for constrained sites and lighter duty | 1,000 kg | Confirm selected configuration | 30 m/min | 200 m | Confirm selected configuration | Permitted use, personnel allowance, cabin arrangement, travel, landings and site conditions |
Narrow construction zones, lighter transport duty, fast site setup, and projects where compact equipment dimensions simplify logistics.
LIGHT-DUTY RACK-AND-PINION PERSONNEL & MATERIAL HOIST
SEKLIFT SM-GTP-103
A compact one-ton personnel and material construction hoist engineered for safe vertical transport where installation space, handling weight, and deployment simplicity are critical.
Compact Rack-and-Pinion Construction Hoist Engineering Without Compromising Safety
Designed for easier transport, efficient installation, and practical use in constrained construction areas.
Sensitive to overspeed and overloading to support a high standard of operational protection.
Supports durable, long-term operation under demanding construction-site exposure.
Engineered in accordance with applicable construction-industry safety directives.
High-rise projects, large material movement, high personnel demand, broad cage access, and projects requiring selectable lifting speeds.
HIGH-CAPACITY RACK-AND-PINION PERSONNEL & MATERIAL HOIST
SEKLIFT SM-GTP-101
A high-capacity personnel and material construction hoist engineered for demanding site logistics, large cage access, selectable lifting speeds, and heavy-duty vertical transportation.
* Higher mast heights can be engineered upon request.

DUAL-CABIN HIGH-CAPACITY RACK-AND-PINION PERSONNEL & MATERIAL HOIST
SEKLIFT SM-GTP-101 Dual Cabin
A dual-cabin configuration of the SM-GTP-101 personnel and material construction hoist. It uses two equivalent high-capacity cabins. The same per-cabin geometry, lifting-speed range, mast interface, access arrangement and safety architecture are retained, while additive load and personnel capacity are doubled across the two-cabin system.
* Higher mast heights can be engineered upon request. Combined capacity figures represent two equivalent cabins.

Configure Your Construction Hoist Around the Building
A rack-and-pinion construction hoist must work with the building and its vertical-logistics plan—not be selected from load capacity alone. The correct starting configuration depends on transport duty, total travel and landing access, required cycle performance, and the available site interface.
Load and transport duty
Personnel / payload / material size / trip demand
Establishes the required cage capacity and operating duty before a hoist model is selected.For lighter personnel and material duty where compact equipment dimensions simplify site handling.
