Wuxi Powerston Technology Co., Ltd. (POWERSTON) manufactures the TP/MH 450 series transport platforms and material hoists — dual-function vertical access equipment designed to move people, pallets and heavy loads efficiently and safely on construction sites.

 

Material hoists and transport platforms are essential tools on modern construction projects. They improve efficiency, reduce workplace injuries and lower project costs by cutting manpower requirements and occupational-hazard insurance premiums. The POWERSTON TP/MH 450 series offers a flexible means of vertical access, combining passenger transport and material lifting in a single, convertible machine. This guide explains how the series works, its configurations and applications.

 

 

 

The TP/MH 450 series is a range of transport platforms and material hoists available in multiple platform sizes and payload capacities to meet the vertical access needs of any construction project. The dual functionality means each machine can be used either as a transport platform (carrying passengers and materials) or as a material hoist (materials only).

 

 

 

 

1. Mast installation — mast sections are erected and tied to the building at intervals of 6–7.5 m, with the first anchor at 3 m.

2. Drive system — electric drive units move the platform or hoist cage along the mast.

3. Dual-mode operation — a simple key switch on the electrical control panel converts the machine between transport platform and material hoist modes, enabling the appropriate safety features for each.

4. Speed control — transport platforms operate at 12 m/min in passenger mode with hold-to-run controls, and 24 m/min for materials-only transport with ground station operation.

All models feature a max. tied lifting height of 250 m, rated power from 2×5.5 kW to 4×5.5 kW, and 380–480 V 3-phase 50/60 Hz electrical supply. Six standard configurations, with platform widths from 1.6 to 4.8 m and lengths from 1.6 to 3.2 m, provide flexible choice for projects of any size.

 

 

 

- Dual functionality — one machine serves as both transport platform and material hoist, maximizing equipment utilization.

- Heavy-duty payload — lifts from 1,000 kg up to 4,000 kg for efficient on-site logistics.

- Versatile cargo handling — transports pallets, mini loaders, prefabricated loads, kitchens, scaffolding and large-dimension panelling.

- Flexible vertical access — ideal for construction sites with limited crane time or complex logistics.

- Improved site safety — reduces manual handling and related workplace injuries.

- Cost savings — less manpower, lower insurance premiums and faster project delivery.

 

 

 

- High-rise construction — transporting materials and personnel to elevated floors.

- Facade and cladding projects — lifting large panelling and glazing units.

- Prefabricated construction — moving prefabricated loads and modules.

- Renovation and refurbishment — vertical access in occupied or constrained sites.

- Scaffolding and formwork — moving scaffolding and formwork materials efficiently.

- General site logistics — moving pallets, equipment and heavy items.

 

 

 

1. Determine payload requirements — select from 1,000 kg to 4,000 kg models based on your heaviest loads.

2. Assess platform size — match width and length to the dimensions of panels, pallets or loads.

3. Check lifting height — confirm the tied height (up to 250 m) covers your building.

4. Consider dual-mode needs — choose passenger transport capability if workers also need vertical access.

5. Evaluate speed and power — 12/24 m/min speeds and available power supply suit different site conditions.
