Construction sites are busy, chaotic, and constantly under pressure to finish faster, safer, and with fewer mistakes. And if there’s one thing that causes more hidden delays than most people realize, it’s how materials are moved from the ground up.
Carrying bricks, cement bags, sand, and tools up and down floors by hand may seem like the “usual way”—but it’s slow, risky, and expensive in the long run. That’s why more and more contractors, engineers, and project managers across India are switching to a smarter solution: the construction lift.
Whether you call it a mini lift, monkey crane, or portable hoist, a construction lift is one of the most important machines you can have on your site. At Mathura Crane Industries, we’ve spent over 40 years building and refining construction lifts specifically designed for Indian site conditions.
In this blog, we’ll walk through the 5 biggest problems that a construction lift solves—and why investing in one could be the best decision for your next project.
1. Slow and Tiring Material Movement
Every time your laborers carry material to the 3rd, 8th, or 15th floor, they lose time and energy. Multiply that across a team and several floors, and you’re looking at hours of lost productivity every single day.
A construction lift completely changes that. With a lifting speed of up to 10 meters per minute, and capacity of 200 KG, the Mathura construction lift moves materials quickly and consistently. No delays, no breaks, no fatigue.
With a reliable construction lift, materials reach the upper floors in minutes—without draining your team’s energy.
2. High Labor Costs and Over-Dependency
Let’s say it straight: hiring 8–10 laborers just to move material up and down is a waste of resources. It increases cost and slows down other critical site tasks.
A construction lift reduces your need for large manual teams. Two workers and one machine can handle the same workload more efficiently, letting your skilled labor focus on building—not hauling.
This shift doesn’t just save money. It gives you more control over your timeline, especially when labor is unpredictable or unavailable.
3. Site Congestion and Safety Risks
When workers are constantly carrying heavy loads through staircases or scaffolding, accidents are just waiting to happen. Add narrow passageways, wet floors, or shifting materials, and it becomes a serious risk to both people and timelines.
By using a construction lift, you eliminate that chaos. The machine operates externally—mounted safely—and lifts materials directly to the required floor. This means fewer people on the move, fewer interruptions, and a cleaner, safer workflow across the site.
At Mathura, our lifts come with gear-driven systems and sturdy design, reducing the risk of breakdowns or operational errors on-site.
4. Poor Equipment That Breaks Down on Indian Sites
A lot of imported or low-cost construction lifts simply don’t hold up in India. The heat, dust, and non-stop usage wear them down quickly. And when your lift breaks mid-project, everything grinds to a halt.
That’s why we designed the Mathura construction lift using high-grade mild steel, rugged components, and a 2 HP motor made to last through long hours. Whether you’re on a residential high-rise or a commercial build, it’s built to handle real site conditions.
It also supports heights up to 40 meters, and handles 200 KG loads easily—making it perfect for everything from cement bags to bricks to buckets of sand.
5. Long-Term Cost and Delays
Think a construction lift is too expensive? Think again.
Most site managers don’t realize that manual lifting costs more in the long run—through labor fatigue, broken materials, missed deadlines, and rework. In comparison, a construction lift from Mathura pays for itself in just 1–2 projects.
Starting at a competitive price point and backed with a 6-month warranty, our lifts are not just cost-effective—they’re smart business.
By investing once, you save every day on time, labor, and delays.
Final Thoughts: Do You Really Need a Construction Lift?
If you’re working on any site with more than 2 floors, and you’re still depending on manual lifting, you’re losing time and money—every single day.
A construction lift makes your site faster, safer, and more profitable. At Mathura Crane Industries, we’ve been helping builders across Maharashtra get the right machines for the right jobs since 1982. Our machines are reliable, easy to install, and made in India—with local service and support you can trust.
