Steel shaft
Lift structures and custom elevator shafts
Panoramica
The metal lift structures designed and manufactured by TEKNO SMS are engineered shafts created for integrating elevation systems both indoors and outdoors. Made of cold-formed galvanized steel sheet, these modular enclosures represent a structural solution for both new constructions and barrier-free accessibility retrofits in historical or pre-existing buildings.
Also ideal for elevator installations with reduced headroom and pit, our structures comply with current regulations and are accompanied by EN 1090 certification.
Discover the excellence of TEKNO SMS lines: structures built to last, fully customizable in finishes and colors, and designed to blend seamlessly into any urban or architectural landscape.
Fast On-Site Installation:
Fully bolted and pre-assembled components that eliminate the need for welding and drastically reduce construction time
Architectural Adaptability :
Configured for indoor installations (within narrow stairwells) or outdoor solutions (weather-resistant external elevator towers)
Engineering & Design:
Box-section pillars and transoms that eliminate visible conduits for a completely clean aesthetic
Regulatory Compliance:
Structures manufactured in full compliance with current standards, including safety requirements for EN 81-41 lifting platforms

INTRA Line
Indoor lift shafts
The INTRA line is specifically engineered for indoor architectural spaces, adapting with millimeter precision to existing stairwells, internal courtyards, or skylights.
Clean & Minimalist Design: Features a sleek, linear aesthetic thanks to fully enclosed and jacketed pillars and transoms.
Fast Installation in Tight Spaces: With pre-assembled components and the ability to assemble the framework directly from the inside, INTRA is the ideal solution for apartment buildings, historic properties, and narrow staircases.
EXTERNA Line
Outdoor lift towers
The EXTERNA line delivers the perfect balance of maximum weather protection and high-end design, making it ideal for retrofitting external elevators in villas, hotels, residential complexes, schools, public buildings, and commercial properties.
Zero Sealants Required: The structural combination of galvanized steel sheet, anti-corrosion treatments, and powder coating works with a field-tested gasket system to guarantee waterproofing and long-term durability.
Certified Structural Stability: The use of structural bracing and cantilevered anchors allows for freestanding headers on terraces and high-stability setups, ideal for tall vertical structures.
Tailor-Made Accessory Integration: Construction versatility allows for seamless integration of custom landing walkways, canopies, portals, and protective roofs.

INFRA Line
Structures for EN 81-41 lifting platforms
The INFRA system is engineered to satisfy the strict technical and regulatory standards for open-cabin lifting platforms (without cabin doors) installed in pre-existing stairwells, small courtyards, or lightwells.
Flush Interior Cladding: Infill panels and glass are installed completely flush on the inside. This mandatory requirement ensures a smooth, continuous vertical surface during travel, eliminating hazards and maximizing user safety.
Robustness & Modularity: The box-section frame ensures exceptional load-bearing capacity, combining rapid assembly with a uniform, minimalist visual impact.
