Why Alimak

Technology leadership that lifts every project higher

For more than 75 years, Alimak has set the benchmark for vertical access, delivering unmatched safety, uptime and productivity in construction and demanding industrial environments worldwide. From the world’s first rack-and-pinion construction hoist to advanced traction elevators, our solutions are engineered to perform where others can’t. What sets Alimak apart is our ability to innovate.

Dual innovation: Built from within. Inspired by the market.

Alimak operates R&D centres where we design, develop and validate our own hardware and systems. By developing key technologies in-house, we maintain control over performance, safety, quality and long‑term reliability.

We develop and manufacture many of our own critical components, including:

  • Safety devices and safety modules
  • Gearboxes and drive systems
  • Control systems and proprietary software
  • Interlock systems and other key subsystems

This approach ensures seamless integration, faster innovation cycles and solutions engineered for real‑world conditions without relying on third‑party components.

Intelligent control at the core

Our proprietary ALC (Alimak Lift Control) system is the brain behind Alimak performance. ALC enables advanced traffic management, group control, diagnostics and precise positioning reducing waiting times and keeping people and materials moving efficiently.

On Alimak Scando construction hoists, group control for up to six cars automatically assigns the closest car, improving logistics, productivity and site safety. We continue to develop new versions of the control system to meet future needs.

Digital by design

With My Alimak, our web-based customer portal, customers gain full visibility and control of their equipment. The platform provides real-time status, utilization data, alerts, documentation, parts identification, training access, BIM files and engineering tools such as AliCalc.

Built on secure connectivity to ALC, My Alimak turns operational data into actionable insights helping users maximize uptime and plan proactively all based on our long experience of developing necessary hardware.

Manufacturing excellence that creates customer value

Technology leadership extends beyond product design. Alimak continuously develops its production methods to ensure high and consistent quality, shorter lead times and scalable manufacturing.

For you, this means:

  • Reliable and repeatable product quality
  • Faster delivery and easier installation
  • Improved serviceability and upgrade paths
  • Lower total cost of ownership over the lifecycle

Our manufacturing know-how ensures that innovation delivers tangible value on site.

Lighter, smarter, stronger by design

Alimak engineering focuses on reducing weight without compromising strength, simplifying installation and improving energy efficiency. Modular designs, optimized masts, advanced drives and precise control systems result in smoother operation, accurate levelling and reduced wear, benefits that are experienced every day in operation.

Collaboration that drives the future

To stay at the forefront of technology, Alimak collaborates closely with universities, research institutions, customers and industry partners. These partnerships accelerate innovation, strengthen competence and enable Alimak to lead the development of safer, smarter and more connected vertical access solutions.

A legacy of innovation

From the world’s first rack-and-pinion mast climber to today’s connected vertical access systems, Alimak continues to deliver technology that makes projects safer and more productive. From high-rise landmarks to bridges, tunnels, ports, power plants, silos and chimneys.
