When considering a lift for your home or commercial building, you might assume that most lift systems are imported from overseas. But did you know that Q Lifts designs and manufactures lift solutions right here in New Zealand?
With a strong foundation in local engineering and manufacturing, Q Lifts combines practical design, quality workmanship and decades of experience to create accessibility solutions suited to New Zealand homes and buildings.
A proud history of New Zealand engineering
Q Lifts has its roots in Quinn Engineering, a New Zealand business with a history stretching back to the early 1960s.
What began as a business developing practical equipment for everyday challenges has evolved into a specialist engineering and manufacturing operation.
Q Lifts was established as a dedicated division focused on lift and accessibility solutions, bringing that same problem-solving approach to residential and commercial buildings.
Today, the team designs and manufactures a range of lifts, including through-floor lifts, short-rise lifts and solutions for challenging access requirements.
Why choose a New Zealand manufactured lift?
Choosing a locally designed and manufactured lift offers several advantages.
Designed with local needs in mind
New Zealand homes and buildings come in all shapes and sizes. From split-level homes and sloping sections to commercial buildings with specific accessibility requirements, there's rarely a one-size-fits-all solution.
Q Lifts understands these challenges and focuses on developing practical lift solutions that work with the building and the people using it.
Practical engineering and custom solutions
Not every accessibility challenge can be solved with a standard product.
With its engineering background, Q Lifts can explore custom solutions for projects with unusual layouts, space constraints or specific access requirements.
In fact, some of the products in the Q Lifts range began as solutions to individual customer challenges before being developed for wider use.
Local knowledge and support
A lift is a long-term investment, and having access to knowledgeable people who understand the product is important.
Q Lifts takes pride in standing behind the solutions it creates, providing practical advice and ongoing support to customers throughout New Zealand.
Supporting New Zealand manufacturing
Choosing a New Zealand-manufactured lift also means supporting local engineering expertise, manufacturing capability and skilled workmanship.
It's an investment not only in accessibility but also in the people and businesses helping keep New Zealand manufacturing strong.
Lift solutions for homes and commercial buildings
Q Lifts offers a range of solutions for different accessibility needs.
Through-floor lifts provide convenient access between levels within a home or building, helping people move between floors without relying on stairs.
Short-rise lifts are designed to overcome smaller changes in level, making them useful for entrances, raised floors and other areas where steps create barriers.
Outdoor lifts provide access where changes in ground level, elevated entrances or sloping sites make movement difficult.
Each project begins with understanding the space, how the lift will be used and what solution will provide the most practical outcome.
Making living accessible
At Q Lifts, the goal is simple: to make everyday spaces more accessible.
Whether you're planning a new home, adapting an existing property or improving accessibility in a commercial building, choosing the right lift can make a significant difference.
And with Q Lifts, you have the added confidence of working with a New Zealand business that designs, manufactures and stands behind its products.
