Black Cibes primo platform lift with a glazed shaft in a bar

Space-efficient platform lift

If you are looking for a versatile, user-friendly and space-saving platform lift, the Cibes Primo is a great solution. Just as suitable for public as for commercial applications, this lift model is a go-to choice for many of our loyal customers in the building industry.

One of the main reasons is that the all-inclusive, ready-made lift concept is incredibly space-efficient and easy to install, requiring only minimal building alterations. In fact, it is possible to install a 2-stop Cibes Primo platform lift in as little as 2-3 days.

Explanatory note: The Cibes Primo is the same product as the Cibes A5000, but has an updated design and is available in more lift sizes. The updated design was created to cater to the needs of the US market. The Cibes Primo replaces the Cibes A5000.

Made in Sweden

Cibes elevating solutions are high-quality, ASME certified products that are designed and manufactured in our factory in Sweden.

The Cibes Primo operates with hold-to-run operation inside the lift. You just maintain pressure on the floor button to travel and release it to stop.

This lift model has a rated load of 880 lbs and can take 4-5 passengers. Because it is a platform lift, regulations require it to travel at a reduced speed of max 30 FPM.

However, reduced speed also comes with advantages. Whereas high-speed elevators need big and bulky shaft structures to absorb the speed-generated forces, the Cibes Primo only needs our space-saving, ready-made shaft.

Easy to install

Installing the Cibes Primo platform lift is a lot easier than you might think. Because the lift is delivered in ready-made elements, it can be installed within 2-3 days. In addition, the drive unit and machinery are so compact that they fit inside the shaft. That means that there is no need for a separate machine room, top machinery or a deep pit, which reduces your building costs.
