Years of high-rise experience and innovative engineering come together in our high-speed, self-climbing construction lift.
The SkyBuild construction lift grows with your building, giving crews access to the highest completed floor. Once construction is complete, it goes straight into service as a SkyRise® lift.
An angled deck protects crews from overhead hazards.
Used by Otis crews to install additional lift rails, allowing the SkyBuild system to climb as construction progresses.
Central to the system’s unique design, the platforms support the SkyMotion® machine, controller, drive and travelling cable – components that become part of the permanent SkyRise lift.
The heart of the SkyRise system, the hydraulic piston moves the whole assembly upward in single-floor jumps.
The SkyBuild system is held in place by support beams that are retracted during the climbing operation.
The construction lift serves all floors below the SkyBuild assembly. Once construction is complete, it converts into the permanent SkyRise cab.
