Concrete lift shafts are modular precast concrete units designed to form vertical lift cores in multi-storey construction. Each shaft is produced off-site and craned into position to minimise on-site construction time and improve consistency. Units can be installed as part of the structural core and provide a stable, enclosed environment for lift installation.

Features and benefits

  • Reduced on-site construction time due to off-site manufacturing

  • Designed for easy craning and placement

  • Standard and bespoke sizes to meet project designs

  • Provides a safe and enclosed space for lift mechanisms

Applications

  • Multi-storey buildings

  • Commercial and residential developments

  • Infrastructure requiring vertical access cores

Physical attributes

Standardised modular dimensions suitable for typical lift requirements. Specific dimensions are dependent on project design.

Materials

Made from precast concrete.

Installation

Delivered as prefabricated units and lifted into position using cranes. Connection and securing methods are determined by the project’s structural engineer.

Manufacture

Produced off-site at FP McCann’s manufacturing facilities.

Technical support

Design and engineering support available to ensure integration with stair cores and building structures.
