Liftroller UK — A safer, smarter way to move materials

Liftroller Safety & Compliance Guidance

Meeting UK Working-at-Height Requirements & BS EN 13374:2025

Working at height remains one of the highest-risk activities on UK construction sites. When using Liftroller equipment, contractors must ensure that openings created for material handling are protected in line with UK regulations and the European standard BS EN 13374 for temporary edge protection systems.

Liftroller systems are designed to support safe, compliant material loading on live construction sites. Below is a clear breakdown of how each model meets the required standards.
________________________________________

Liftroller Wall (Window Systems)

Built-in edge protection – no separate gate required
The Liftroller Wall does not use a gate. Instead, the roller platform itself forms a permanent, physical barrier across the window opening during all loading operations.
How it meets BS EN 13374
• Guardrail-equivalent height
The roller bed sits between 930 mm (lowest leg setting) and approximately 1200 mm (highest setting).
This places the barrier within the guardrail height requirements of EN 13374 Class A, providing continuous edge protection.
• Operator always stands behind the barrier
All loading/unloading is performed from inside the building. Workers never need to lean out or work in front of the opening.
• Continuous leading-edge protection
Because the window opening remains blocked by the roller platform throughout the operation, a separate gate or removable edge protection is not required.
• Industry-recognised compliance

The Liftroller Wall setup has undergone successful Health & Safety reviews with major international contractors including Bouygues, Vinci, Skanska, and BAM, specifically in relation to working-at-height protection and EN 13374 compliance.

Liftroller Floor (Floor Openings)


Floor openings create a potential fall hazard, meaning temporary edge protection is required under UK regulations. The relevant standard is BS EN 13374 Class A, which specifies guardrails, intermediate rails and toe boards.
Standard configuration – supplied with EN-compliant safety barrier
The Liftroller Floor is delivered with a purpose-designed Edge Protection Barrier meeting EN 13374 Class A.
When fitted, this provides full collective protection around the opening.
Two barrier positions
The barrier can be mounted in two compliant positions:
• Front position – when materials are being rolled in/out
• Rear position – when loading is complete but the unit remains in place
The barrier must remain installed for the full hire period. EN 13374 only permits temporary removal for a specific task, and it must be replaced immediately afterward. Removing edge protection entirely is treated the same as removing a guardrail from scaffolding — the site would no longer be compliant.
________________________________________

Using Liftroller Floor During Loading
When the Edge Protection Barrier is removed
During loading, the barrier must be taken off to allow materials to pass through the opening.
At this point:
• The operator is exposed to a fall risk
• Personal fall-protection equipment (PPE) is required (typically a fall-prevention harness), in accordance with site Working-at-Height procedures
• This is the standard practice on UK sites using the current Liftroller Floor model

Liftroller UK — A safer, smarter way to move materials.

Moving away from traditional loading platforms
Cantideck-style loading bays are those big steel trays bolted to the edge of a building slab.
They’re built for loading heavy materials with a crane. This includes items like cladding panels, formwork, and bathroom pods.
They’ve been around forever, and they’re solid for certain jobs, but they come with some serious downsides:
Space hogs. They eat up valuable floor space inside, which is a nightmare when you’re trying to keep a site functional.
Crane nightmares. You need a crane and a trained crew to set them up, move them, or take them down—good luck if the crane’s booked out.
Pricey. Hire prices range from £220 to £250 a week, which is quite reasonable! But remember, this doesn't include crane fees, engineer inspections, and transport costs.
Overkill for lighter work. If you’re doing internal fit-out or moving pallets, they’re often much more than you need.

The alternative, Liftroller Floor
The Liftroller Floor system excels in areas where traditional loading platforms struggle.
• No crane required – you wheel it into place by hand in minutes.
• Minimal footprint – it doesn’t eat into your working area.
• Zero faff – no crane relocation time needed, no call-outs, no crew waiting around.
• Easy to move. Need it on another floor? Roll it to another area or dismantle it by hand and move it by hand to a different floor.
• Very flexible – People have used it in lift shafts, through windows, and on narrow floors in tight city sites.

Where Liftroller really shines
Here are the use cases where Liftroller has made a real difference:
1. Open lift shafts - Dropped pallets right into lift cores. This saves valuable space in foyers or corridors.
2. City centre sites - On sites with limited access and tight spaces, Liftroller ensures the job stays on track.
3. Many floors - Instead of craning one platform up and down, we’ll drop one unit per key floor and crack on. That alone saves hours each week.
4. Internal logistics - Once the building is enclosed, Cantideck-style platforms lose their usefulness. Liftroller stays useful from the structural stage through to finishing.

How does a Liftroller Floor stack up?
Here’s a quick side-by-side to break it down:
Feature Liftroller Floor Traditional Loading Platform
Setup Time Minutes, no crane or crew needed 20 mins to 2 hours, crane and crew required
Crane Dependency None Heavy, setup, moves, and removal
Space Usage Barely noticeable Eats up a chunk of your floor
Access Points Windows, lift shafts, and tight voids Needs slab edge or cut-out
Moving Between Floors Dismantle and move by hand Only movable by crane
Hire Cost £225 a week + minimal delivery £220 to £250 a week + delivery & additional crane costs
Best For Fit-out, M&E, curtain walls, internal logistics Heavy structural work like pods or formwork

When to Pick Each Option
Cantideck-style platforms still have their moments.
They’re best when:
• You’re lifting massive loads like 3-ton concrete pods or huge curtain wall sections.
• You’ve got a tower crane on standby and plenty of time to use it.
• The job’s focused on early structural phases.
But Liftroller Floor is the clear winner for:
• Moving palletised goods, M&E kits, or interior finishes to upper floors.
• Jobs with limited crane access or tight schedules.
• Urban sites where space is at a premium and neighbours are already grumbling about noise.

Cantideck-style platforms are not outdated. They are still useful for heavy structural lifts early in the programme. But for 80% of what contractors do, they’re more of a hassle than they are worth.
Liftroller Floor is designed for how sites will operate in 2025. It’s faster, leaner, less dependent on cranes, and simpler for the team to handle.
If you’re still struggling with Traditional Loading Platforms for fit-out and M&E jobs, it could be time to reconsider your method. The construction game’s changed. Our equipment should too.
