Telelift is headquartered in Maisach, near

Munich in Germany and has three
subsidiaries in Berlin, Stuttgart and
Singapore.

History
Telelift was founded in 1964 in Munich. In
the same year, the first of numerous
patents was granted for an electric track
vehicle system which was the start to a
long lasting and still remaining business
success [1] in many countries, mainly in
Europe and America, but also in Asia,
Middle East and Australia. A professional
distribution brought hundreds of so-called
"UniCar“ systems to many hospitals,
libraries [2] and administration buildings.
HSBC headquarters for example in London
and Hong Kong operate large Telelift
systems with hundreds of transport
trolleys.
A second product line was an AGV
(automated guided vehicle) called
"TransCar" which was installed from 1974
– 2012 in dozens of hospitals in Europe
and Asia.

In 1989, Thyssen bought Telelift GmbH,

integrated its own library automation
system type "MultiLift" and added the
Siemens track system type Simacom VT.
In 1999, a Swiss company bought Telelift
GmbH and integrated it into their
healthcare solutions group. In 2012,
Telelift GmbH was sold and is privately
owned again.
To date, more that 1,300 Telelift systems
have been installed in over 40 countries.

Products
Telelift develops and produces rail-bound
conveying system for transporting goods
up to 50 kg in buildings and production
plants. Unique character of all system is a
three-dimensional traffic routing, 100%
system monitoring and Industry 4.0
qualified implementation. Healthcare [3]
has the largest market share. About 500
systems have been installed to hospitals,
increase hygiene standards significantly
and drop the number of lower-educated
transportation staff. Other markets are
libraries from 250,000 books,
administration buildings with security
demand and industry applications
(automotive and food industries).
