Who We Are

Proudly Australian. Passionately Innovative.

At LIFTA, we're driven by innovation and a deep respect for the hardworking men and women in the solar industry. As a proudly Australian-owned and operated company, our mission is simple: to design and manufacture equipment that makes your job easier, safer, more efficient—and more cost-effective.

With over a decade of experience in the solar industry, we have seen firsthand the challenges that come with ensuring safe and efficient solar installations. From dealing with the complexities of installation to prioritising worker safety, we have always strived to create better solutions for our industry.

Over the past several years, we have dedicated ourselves to solving problems faced by solar installers, constantly experimenting with different products and concepts to improve both safety and efficiency on the job. which is why every product we build is engineered with practicality, durability, and real-world use in mind. From smart design features to time-saving assembly, LIFTA products are built to perform—so you can focus on getting the job done.

Our Journey

One of our major breakthroughs came when edge protection became mandatory for solar installations. At the time, there were no solutions specifically designed for solar installations. While edge protection systems were available for single-story buildings, none were adaptable to the various roof types encountered during solar installations. We took the challenge head-on and developed the first edge protection model designed specifically for solar. This innovation allowed installers to safely work on roofs of various heights and slopes, providing greater flexibility and peace of mind.

For the past few years, we’ve been working on developing a more efficient and safer lifting solution for residential solar installations. While there are plenty of bulky, heavy lifting models designed for commercial projects, these systems are often impractical for smaller, residential jobs. This gap in the market led us to our most recent innovation: a lightweight, easy-to-use solar panel lifter.

Our Innovation: The LIFTA300

After years of designing, testing, and refining, we are proud to introduce our Solar Panel Lifter—an industry-first lifting solution specifically designed for solar installations. This lifter is:

• Safe: Made with Australian-certified materials and fully compliant with Australian lifting standards.

• Lightweight: Easy to carry and transport, perfect for residential installations.

• Efficient: Capable of lifting and moving five panels at once in under a minute, improving both speed and productivity.

• User-Friendly: Can be installed and dismantled in minutes, saving time and reducing on-site setup.

One of the standout features of our Solar Panel Lifter is our dyna-winch. we’ve replaced the traditional steel wire rope with Dyneema cable—the strongest fiber in the world for the pulling motor. This innovation ensures greater strength and durability while minimising weight.

We’ve been using this lifter ourselves for the past couple of years and have seen the positive impact it has on both the safety and efficiency of solar installations. We are confident that this tool will revolutionize the way solar panels are installed and maintained, making the process safer and more effective for installers everywhere.

Why Choose Us?

• Innovation & Safety: We’re proud to offer the first-ever lifting solution specifically designed for solar installations, made with the highest safety standards in mind.

• Lightweight & Efficient: Our Solar Panel Lifter is built to be as efficient as possible while remaining lightweight and easy to handle, improving workflow and reducing physical strain on workers.

• Industry Expertise: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in the solar industry, we understand the unique challenges faced by solar installers and work tirelessly to provide solutions that address those needs.

• Health & Safety First: We recognize the importance of safety in the workplace, especially as solar panels become larger and heavier. Our lifter helps reduce physical strain and the risks associated with manual handling.

Join Us in Advancing Solar Safety

The solar industry is evolving, and so are the tools we use to install and maintain these systems. As Safe Work Australia advises against carrying panels up ladders due to the physical risks involved, our lifter offers a safe alternative that keeps workers healthy and reduces the potential for injury. We believe that no amount of money can replace health and safety, and we are dedicated to providing the industry with innovative solutions that protect both people and products.

We hope you’ll choose our LIFta as part of your commitment to safety and efficiency in your solar projects. Let’s work together to make solar installations safer for everyone.
