Alimak has been supplying rack and pinion elevators and lifts to the offshore industry since 1974 when it installed its first unit on an Aker H-3 design semi-submersible. The benefits of installing elevators from Alimak are recognized worldwide by oil & gas companies for platforms, semi-submersible rigs and drillships.

Alimak offers both rack and pinion and traction elevators. They are mostly installed on derricks, in hull columns, living quarters and outside platform modules and are built for harsh environments. The elevators complement potentially hazardous stairways and ladderways to provide convenient access to pump and machine rooms and other process-critical areas.
