RJ Lifts Group Ltd: lift engineering in the UK

RJ Lifts Group Ltd is a British company specialising in the maintenance, repair, refurbishment and installation of lifts and lifting equipment. Founded in 1992, it has more than three decades of activity and presents itself as one of the leading specialists in the sector in the UK, with a growing customer base across the country.

The company operates with its own engineers distributed throughout the UK and maintains an emergency call-out service available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. According to the company's own data, the average response time to a call is two hours and, in emergency situations, it is usually between 30 and 45 minutes.

Maintenance and repair services

Lift maintenance is one of RJ Lifts Group's core activities. The company points out that it is a legal requirement for all lifts and that a suitable programme increases safety and the service life of the equipment, as well as reducing breakdowns and subsequent expenses. Its engineers also handle urgent repairs and breakdown call-outs, with national coverage.

The company also carries out LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspections, which in the case of passenger lifts require two inspections per year and one per year for goods lifts. This service is offered as a complement to regular maintenance.

Refurbishment and installation

RJ Lifts Group handles both mechanical and interior lift refurbishment. The former improves the efficiency of the equipment and reduces breakdowns; the latter allows the appearance, feel and functionality of the lift interior, control panels and doors to be renewed. The company also offers energy-saving refurbishment solutions, with the aim of reducing consumption and emissions without replacing existing systems.

In the field of installation, the catalogue includes passenger lifts, goods lifts and service lifts, dumb waiters, platform lifts and stairlifts, wheelchair lifts, step lifts, mobility aids, disabled access solutions and bespoke lifting projects. The company works with the project team to adapt the solution to the building, rather than forcing the structure to the dimensions of the lift.

Equipment and systems it maintains

In addition to lifts, RJ Lifts Group maintains escalators, scissor lifts, industrial doors, dock levellers, cranes and hoists, and lifting equipment and tackle. This breadth of services makes it possible to serve installations with very diverse lifting and access needs within a single contract.

Sectors served and coverage

The company states that it serves a wide variety of sectors, including food production, car manufacturing, distribution and logistics, commercial buildings, industry and both public and private organisations. Its coverage is national in the UK, with its own engineers distributed throughout the territory.

Track record and recognition

Founded in 1992, RJ Lifts Group highlights that its founders already had extensive knowledge of the sector before creating the company, which allowed them to accumulate experience from the very beginning. The company states that it holds a series of accreditations and, in January 2026, announced its incorporation as a member of LEIA (Lift & Escalator Industry Association).

Among its recent publications are articles on bespoke lift solutions, the maintenance of existing commercial lifts, what to do when a lift is stuck between floors, safety systems and protection devices, signs that a lift needs urgent repair, modernisation versus replacement and energy-saving refurbishments.
