GEDA MAXI 120S 81 m – Professional Scaffold Hoist for Fast Material Transport

The Most Popular GEDA Construction Hoist

The GEDA MAXI 120S with an 81m wire rope is a professional rope hoist designed for transporting construction materials to scaffolding, rooftops, and upper floors of buildings.

For many years, this model has been one of the most frequently chosen construction hoists by scaffolding, roofing, façade, and renovation companies throughout Europe.

The combination of high lifting speed, low dead weight, and a lifting capacity of up to 120 kg significantly improves construction site logistics while reducing the need for manual transportation of materials via stairs, ladders, or scaffold structures.

This solution was developed for professionals who require safe and efficient transportation of tools, construction materials, and work equipment at height every day.

Why Choose the GEDA MAXI 120S?

Unlike basic construction hoists, the GEDA MAXI 120S has been designed for intensive daily use.

Its hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides excellent resistance to weather conditions, while the dual-speed lifting system allows operators to adjust lifting performance according to the type of load being transported.

The unit can be used for scaffold erection, roofing projects, façade works, renovations, residential construction, industrial facilities, and multi-family housing developments.

Key Benefits

• Fast transportation of materials to elevated work areas
• Reduced physical labor costs
• Improved worker safety
• Easy installation and dismantling
• Suitable for operation at significant heights
• Reliable construction from a renowned German manufacturer
• Wide range of transport accessories available
• Low dead weight
• High mobility between job sites
• Long service life even under intensive use

Dual Lifting Speeds – Up to 60 m/min

One of the greatest advantages of the GEDA MAXI 120S is its ability to operate at two lifting speeds:

• 20 m/min
• 60 m/min

This allows the operator to select the appropriate lifting speed depending on the type of material being transported.

For lighter loads, materials can be moved extremely quickly, significantly reducing project completion times.

With a maximum lifting speed of 60 m/min, the unit is among the fastest scaffold hoists available on the market within its class.

Extended Working Range with an 81m Wire Rope

The standard package includes an 81-meter steel wire rope.

Depending on the installation method, the hoist can operate at heights of:

• Approximately 40 m when the drive unit is installed at the bottom of the scaffold
• Up to approximately 76 m with the appropriate configuration and higher drive-unit positioning

These specifications make the GEDA MAXI 120 S suitable for both residential buildings and larger commercial construction projects.

Which Scaffold Hoist Should You Choose?

Selecting the right construction hoist depends primarily on working height, the type of materials being transported, and the intensity of use.

The GEDA MAXI 120S is most commonly chosen by construction, scaffolding, façade, roofing, and renovation companies that require a machine offering high lifting capacity, fast lifting speeds, and reliable long-term operation.

If materials are transported daily, investing in a professional hoist quickly pays for itself through labor savings and reduced physical effort.

The unit is commonly used for:

• Scaffold assembly and dismantling
• Façade works
• Building renovations and refurbishments
• Residential house construction
• Solar photovoltaic installation projects
