Reduced pit elevators
Cases where pit depth is below standard (typically 1100–1400 mm). We select technical solutions (special buffers, safety systems) maintaining EN 81-20/50 compliance.
Company profile
PROENSO — Polish elevator engineering since 2008
Since 2008 PROENSO has been selecting, supplying, installing, modernizing and servicing elevators for projects in Poland and across Europe. We combine our own engineering integrations with technologies from proven European manufacturers, so every project — from a standard apartment-block elevator to a non-standard panoramic cabin in a prestige building — gets a solution matched to shaft conditions, schedule, UDT requirements and investor budget.
What we do
We work across six areas that form one coherent engineering offering:
- Passenger elevators — for new residential, office, hotel and public buildings. MRL and with machine room. Low pit / low headroom and through-cabin configurations.
- Freight elevators — warehouses, factories, logistics centres. High payload and non-standard configurations.
- Accessibility platforms — for persons with disabilities in public and private buildings, selected in line with applicable accessibility requirements.
- Home lifts — compact lifts for single- and multi-family homes.
- Modernization — replacement and retrofit of elevators in existing buildings, compliance upgrades to current standards.
- Service & parts — full UTB lifting equipment service, UDT inspection support, component availability.
Roots in the Polish elevator school
Part of the PROENSO team began its elevator career at Warszawska Fabryka Dźwigów Translift (Warsaw Elevator Factory Translift) — founded in 1950, for decades the only major manufacturer of passenger and freight elevators in Poland. Translift delivered over 70,000 elevators to Polish buildings — from prefabricated apartment blocks to public and industrial facilities. ODA and MDA models still operate in thousands of Polish stairwells — testimony to a solid Polish engineering school.
PROENSO continues this heritage: we know legacy constructions inside out, we understand Polish post-war architecture, and we know how to modernize Polish-tradition lifting equipment without full replacement — with modern European components but Polish know-how. If you operate an older elevator in a prefabricated building, see our Polish guide on Translift / ZREMB modernization (in Polish) →
Our specializations
PROENSO is known in the Polish elevator industry for delivering projects that standard suppliers reject as "impossible":
Reduced headroom elevators
Configurations critical for older tenement buildings and listed heritage buildings under modernization, where the construction does not allow standard overhead clearance above the top landing.
90° through cabins
Elevators with cabin entrances arranged at 90° to each other — useful in buildings where front and rear access are required from different facade orientations.
Custom cabin design
Bespoke cabin interiors for prestige and hospitality projects — material selection, lighting design, control panel layout.
Modernization keeping existing shaft
Component replacement (control, drive, doors, cabin) without rebuilding the elevator shaft — minimizing construction work in occupied buildings.
Manufacturer network
PROENSO operates a network of 25+ manufacturers across Poland, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Lithuania, Sweden, Spain, the Czech Republic and Austria. Equipment selection is project-driven — every shaft, every cabin, every drive is matched to the specific building and operating profile. We do not sell a single brand. We sell engineering decisions.
How we work
One accountable engineering team coordinates every project lifecycle stage:
- Technical brief — shaft analysis, regulatory scoping, equipment matching
- Quotation — transparent breakdown: equipment + installation + documentation + acceptance
- Coordination — manufacturer, installer, general contractor, building operator alignment
- Documentation & UDT acceptance — complete Polish technical inspection package
- Service & maintenance — periodic inspections, parts, emergency response
Experience
18+ years of integrating elevators across Poland and Europe. 100+ models in catalogue. Full Polish UDT documentation and acceptance support. CE compliance, EN 81 family standards, Directive 2014/33/EU. Active in residential, commercial, hospitality, public and industrial sectors.
