Stannah: a British lift company with over 150 years of experience
Our priority is quite simply to meet the needs of our customers.
Since our Founder, Joseph Stannah, began the business in 1867, making and selling cranes and hoists to move cargo around the London dockyards, we’ve been lift specialists moving people and goods. For over 150 years, we have built our reputation as the leading, trusted, independent UK lift company.
We’re still a family-run lift company five generations on and are proud to maintain the quality service Joseph believed in years ago. After all, our lift installation, maintenance and repair services are relied upon by thousands.
