A reliable and efficient means of vertical transport is essential for power plants where access to elevated equipment is required multiple times a day for inspections and monitoring. Alimak’s industrial elevators enhance safety and productivity by eliminating the need to climb stairs at power plants to provide a reliable vertical access solution.

Alimak helps to overcome the previously insurmountable challenges associated with vertical access for gas, refused and coal fired plants, combined-cycle hydroelectric, solar and nuclear facilities.

How do Alimak elevators deliver in harsh environments?

Alimak industrial elevators are engineered to perform reliably in the harshest power-generation environments. Proven rack-and-pinion and traction technology withstands heat, humidity, dust, and corrosive conditions, indoors or outdoors. With options available for installation with or without shafts and machine rooms, Alimak elevators provide flexible installation options, delivering durable, low-maintenance vertical access in demanding and safety-critical applications.

How do Alimak elevators boost productivity and enhance safety?

By eliminating manual stair climbs, Alimak industrial elevators enable fast, frequent, and safer access to critical equipment. This reduces maintenance time, supports quicker inspections, and helps plants return to operation sooner. Reliable vertical access improves workforce productivity, minimises downtime and enhances safety, supporting higher availability and long-term operational efficiency across the power segment.

Why choose Alimak elevators for the power sector?

Robust and rugged design

Installation on outdoor structures means exposure to all weather conditions. Alimak industrial elevators are designed to withstand harsh environments.

Adapts to inclinations and curves

Alimak rack-and-pinion industrial elevators are adaptable to inclinations and curves.

Wide variety of car sizes

With many different car sizes available, Alimak elevators are suitable for a variety of application types in power stations. They are able to transport personnel, heavy materials and emergency stretchers.

Practically unlimited lifting height

Our elevator technology enables exceptional lifting distances, exemplified by the 600‑metre inclined rack‑and‑pinion elevator installed at the Cierny Vah hydropower plant in Slovakia – representing one of the longest continuous elevator heights of its kind.

Elevators flexible for any type of vertical transport service at a plant

A power plant is a tough place for any piece of machinery to operate in, and the elevator is no exception. Alimak elevators operate at peak performance within tough industrial environments. We have a working solution for any vertical transport requirement within the power plant.

Applications for power elevators

Typical vertical access applications for the power segment include:

Alimak elevators provide reliable and efficient access to boilers for service and inspection. Their robust design ensures a long service life, supporting optimised productivity by reducing downtime.

Alimak elevators are used to safely transport on-site personnel to different levels of chimneys, providing access for measuring emissions.

Heat recovery steam generators improve efficiency while also reducing environmental impacts, playing an important role in renewable energy. Alimak elevators are used to support maximised uptime by providing reliable vertical access for regular inspections and maintenance work.

Also known as Flue Gas Desulfurisation systems, ‘scrubbers’ help to ensure environmental regulation compliance by reducing emissions. Alimak elevators help ensure maximum uptime by providing reliable access for maintenance teams and their tools, removing the need for a crane.

In power plants, every minute of uptime matters. Alimak elevators provide fast and efficient vertical access on silos, facilitating maintenance and inspection activities. Designed for easy retrofitting and capable of inclined travel, they reduce the need for structural modifications and help minimise downtime.

Alimak elevators are used to provide reliable and efficient vertical access for service and maintenance on tall structures, such as transmission towers. By enabling quick and consistent access to critical components, they help streamline routine inspections, reduce climbing requirements, and support overall operational continuity.

Alimak delivers customised industrial elevator solutions designed for installation on complex and curved structures, including dam walls serving hydroelectric power stations.

These elevators provide reliable and efficient access for maintenance teams, while also ensuring critical emergency access in challenging and hard-to-reach locations.

Solar towers need frequent, reliable access to keep uptime to a maximum. Alimak elevators provide a permanent, vertical access solution that enables maintenance personnel to access all levels in a safer, more efficient way, helping to ensure that downtime is kept to a minimum.

Alimak elevators improve access in nuclear reactors by providing reliable access deep underground. This supports efficiency by allowing on-site personnel to quickly reach their work station.

What do our customers say about us?

“I think that what really distinguishes Alimak from the competition is their great service and responsiveness. They are always available when we need them, and they always respond in a timely manner. This has saved us from inconvenient waiting time and project delays. In relation to their great availability, it is very easy to do business with them. Their knowledge level is high, and you can feel that they are well prepared when you have a meeting with them. For myself as a customer that is essential – to be able to trust the one you do business with. ”

Jette Rasmussen, Strategic Sourcing Manager, FLSmidth, Denmark
“Alimak has always delivered very high quality – it’s the Mercedes of industrial elevators. Through Alimak’s strong network of local service partners, we can get assistance much quicker than what we could get from any competitor. That has saved us a great amount of time and reduced our service costs. ”

Mauro Brambilla, Project Manager, CR International, Italy
“In the power generation industry, it is critical to act fast when problems arise. The response time of service providers needs to be as short as possible. Alimak has always been very responsive and available to our needs as customers saving us time, effort and money while ensuring safe and reliable operation of the lift.”

Leopoldo Lirios, Plant Engineer, Team Energy, the Philippines
