If your business relies on working at height, you will already know how important it is to balance safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. For many years, ladders and steps were the go-to solution for accessing elevated areas. But as awareness of safety risks has grown, more companies are moving away from ladders in favour of equipment that is designed to protect workers and streamline tasks.

That is where the HLS Hugo Lift comes in.

Our very own Hugo Lift is a push-around vertical mast lift available for sale (both new and used), for short-term hire, or for long-term lease. Compact, lightweight, and versatile, Hugo is quickly becoming the preferred choice for businesses across sectors who want a modern alternative to ladders. And now, you can download our free Hugo Lift Spec Sheet to see full details and images of Hugo in action.

What is the Hugo Lift?

The Hugo Lift is a safe, comfortable, and cost-effective alternative to ladders and steps. Designed with operator safety in mind, it features self-locking gates to ensure the gates remain securely closed whenever the platform is raised.

Thanks to its compact footprint and lightweight design, Hugo is easy to transport and manoeuvre, even in the most cramped environments. It can fit through standard doorways and passenger lifts, making it ideal for workplaces where space is limited.

Where can Hugo be used?

The Hugo Lift is incredibly versatile. It is already being used successfully in:

• Offices

• Shops and retail spaces

• Factories and manufacturing facilities

• Data centres

• Libraries, archives, and stores

• Hospitals and healthcare environments

• Schools, universities, and public buildings

• Museums and cultural sites

In each of these environments, Hugo delivers the same promise: a safer and more efficient alternative to ladders.

Why choose Hugo for manufacturing?

In fast-paced industries such as manufacturing, efficiency and safety go hand in hand. The Hugo Lift has been designed to meet the specific demands of industrial workplaces.

• Versatile Performance

Hugo’s fully height-adjustable cargo shelf provides flexibility when handling materials. With optional tool bins and accessories, operators can keep essential items close at hand while working at height, making jobs quicker and more efficient.

• Ease of Use

Simple manoeuvrability means Hugo can navigate through tight spaces, corridors, and lifts. Charging is quick and easy, and cleaning the lift is straightforward, keeping downtime to a minimum.

• Enhanced Safety

Replacing ladders with Hugo drastically reduces the risk of falls. Features such as platform interlock technology ensure that gates cannot be opened while the platform is elevated, giving operators confidence and protecting employers from unnecessary risks.

• Boosted Productivity

Hugo allows some jobs that previously required two people to be carried out by a single operator, freeing up staff for other tasks. Less time is wasted setting up ladders or moving platforms, so workers spend more time on the task itself.

Real-world results: Case studies

Improving Hospital Facilities Maintenance:

An NHS hospital wanted a safer, more efficient way to carry out facilities maintenance. Previously, teams relied on steps and ladders, which posed risks to staff and patients. After introducing the Hugo Lift, they achieved:

• A safer working environment with reduced risk of falls.

• The ability to move Hugo easily through passenger lifts and confined corridors.

• Faster maintenance operations with minimal disruption to patients and staff.

Food Processing: A Recipe for Success:

Frank Roberts, a family-owned bakery in Cheshire, produces over 3.5 million loaves and baked goods every week. After adopting the Hugo Lift, the company reported:

• Improved safety with secure platform edge protection.

• Easier access to hard-to-reach areas.

• Lightweight design that staff found simple to use and manoeuvre.

• Positive staff engagement and morale, with workers saying Hugo was “way safer than a ladder.”

  
  

Feedback from the business praised Hugo as “a good fit for us” and highlighted the professional support from the HLS team throughout the process.
