UBS provides a complete service for the specification, supply and installation of a range of high capacity personnel and material hoists for all forms of construction where access is required.
UBS have been involved in a wide range of projects offering construction hoist access. From towers 200m high, to shafts 80m deep and everything in between. UBS have been involved in a number of landmark projects from Canary Wharf, Swiss RE, Beetham Tower, Heron Tower, Olympic Village, HS2, Tideway Tunnel & The Wardian. UBS can provide the following services:
We work with customers in the early stages to integrate hoist & access requirements into a logistics plan, improving the construction programme.

Range of Hoists & Towers
Our hoists offer capacities from 1000kg to 4000kg, cage sizes from 2m to 5m, and travel speeds from 28m/min to 90m/min.
Competitive
We develop schemes that are not only effective but also competitively priced to suit your budget.
As your project grows, one of the challenges you face is getting personnel and materials to the right locations efficiently.
Building Sectors
Residential
UBS have supplied hoists and access to a wide range of residential projects from single hoists, to the largest single residential hoist contract at Stratford Residential with over 70 hoists on one contract.
We are able to offer hoists and access towers for the construction phase, fit-out phase, or for the complete construction programme, developing schemes with our customers to minimise the impact of the access systems on the construction programme of the building.
In addition we work with our customers to develop innovative systems to access or tying to the building structure, an example of which is the use of precast balcony brackets for fixing hoist to allowing local cladding to be fitted right up to the hoist.
UBS has developed innovative access solutions to give projects access for personnel and equipment without compromising the construction methods involved in the projects.
UBS are able to aid in the early planning and design of the required access and logistics to enable the customer to ensure the scheme works with their construction programme.
UBS have been at the forefront of Hoist and Access systems for commercial projects for the past 20 years including Canary Wharf, Swiss Re, Castle House, Heron Tower.
In addition UBS are working in partnership with other construction hoist providers supplying the Common Tower system used extensively for commercial construction projects across the UK for the last 20 years by UBS.
UBS have been involved in a number of projects involved in the supply of transport links, utilities and hospitals throughput the UK. These projects normally require substantial planning as they are often one off projects with their own specific requirements.
UBS has provided innovative access solutions to projects that have resulted in the supply of 6.2m long hoists to hospital projects to allow services to be fitted with half the joints and hoists installed in shafts 80m deep with only a single tie at ground level.
