Mission-critical lift safety equipment for military and defence installations
Lift safety equipment built for the toughest missions
Defence facilities need lift systems that operate flawlessly under the most challenging conditions. From naval vessels and military bases to secure facilities, every component must meet stringent security protocols and reliability standards.
Your lifts face unique challenges, including extreme environments, heavy-duty use cycles, classified area restrictions and the need for rapid emergency response capabilities. In such mission-critical environments, equipment failure isn’t just inconvenient. It can compromise your operational readiness and the safety of your personnel.
With over three decades of experience supplying defence installations worldwide, Atwell International understands these critical requirements. We’ve provided certified lift safety systems for aircraft carriers, military headquarters and high-security facilities, earning trust through proven performance.
Lift safety systems for defence
Our defence solutions are built for extreme environments and mission-critical reliability. From submarine escape hatches to missile silo elevators, we deliver safety systems where failure isn’t an option.
The VG safety products range – featuring our Colossus bi-directional safety gears – supports loads up to 80,000kg on naval vessels. Bi-directional rope brakes offer protection during both ascent and descent, essential for ammunition and aircraft lifts. We also supply corrosion-resistant components for shipboard use, compact slimline tension weights for space-restricted areas, and shock-tested systems for mobile and combat platforms.
All our equipment can be configured for restricted areas, with tamper-evident features. Full documentation, compliance with NATO specifications and strict confidentiality protocols come as standard.
We combine innovation with practical knowledge to create solutions that protect lift passengers and give engineers, building owners and site operators complete confidence.
