“SmartHoist isn’t just theory, it delivers results on real sites. On one of our jobs in NYC, average hoist wait time dropped to just 2 minutes and 25 seconds, compared to the industry norm of 7 minutes. That gave every worker 0.5 extra productive hours per day without changing how the site runs."

Ami Amron

Project Manager

"The Smart Hoist system transforms a construction hoist into a nearly fully automated solution, significantly reducing our wait times."

Steve Hawthrone

"Its efficiency is unmatched, and its ability to adapt to site-specific conditions is truly impressive. It was a real game-changer during full construction."

Why Hoist Delays Still
Kill Productivity

Without visibility or control, hoists become bottlenecks. Workers lose between 30 and 60 minutes per day waiting, depending on the building height. Radios fail, calls are missed, and queues pile up. SmartHoist fixes that, helping sites recover 3-5% of total working hours. In one 45-floor tower, SmartHoist helped cut wait times from 7 minutes to just 4 per call. That is a 41% improvement.

Why SmartHoist is more than a call system

Many know us as a Hoist Call System. In reality, SmartHoist goes much further.

AI-Powered Efficiency

Think of it like Google Maps for your hoists. SmartHoist syncs calls, predicts best stops, and balances traffic.

Plug & Play Set-up

SmartHoist works on all hoist brands. It is installed in 2-4 hours with no workflow changes.

Real-Time Data Access

From wait times to utilisation stats, get instant insights via dashboards.

Basic System Seperator

SmartHoist is Built to Boost Site Productivity

On busy sites, workers lose 30+ minutes per day waiting for hoists and most of it goes untracked. SmartHoist eliminates the noise: syncing calls, optimising routes, and giving site managers full visibility into delays and usage.

In a 29-floor case study, hourly labour savings alone exceeded £86,000, with energy savings of £8,000+ and reduced rental and operator costs worth £67,000. For larger projects, the impact scales up even further.

SmartHoist Interior Elevator

SmartHoist for Interior Elevator phase

SmartHoist transitions seamlessly onto interior elevators during fit-out. When doors block sound and radios fail, coordination slows down. That’s where Smart Lift takes over. It keeps communication clear and workflows moving, even after the external hoists are gone.
