Not every Amsterdam home has facade access. Many apartments in the city center and surrounding districts can only be reached through backyards, inner courtyards or balconies at the rear of the building. That is where GEDA lift hire makes all the difference.
A GEDA modular lift is a freestanding construction lift that is assembled on-site from individual sections. Unlike stair lifts and trailer lifts that lean against the facade, this building lift stands independently and can be placed virtually anywhere, including backyards, balconies, inner courtyards and other hard-to-reach locations. It works as both a furniture elevator and a professional moving lift, capable of transporting heavy items to any storey.
This makes it the go-to construction lift rental for Amsterdam's many rear-facing apartments, buildings without street-side windows large enough for furniture, and properties located behind other buildings. Our specialists build the lift on location, matching the tower height and platform angle to your building. Every booking includes a moving lift with operator, so you can focus on the relocation itself. Browse our frequently asked questions or contact us to book your GEDA lift hire.
A large number of Amsterdam apartments -- especially in the Canal Ring, De Pijp, and Oud-West district -- face the rear of the building. The front facade has windows too small for furniture, or the street is blocked by trees, tram wires or a canal with no parking. A stair lift or trailer lift needs direct facade access from the street. If that access does not exist, neither lift type can help you relocate.
This is especially common in buildings that were converted from warehouses or commercial properties. The living quarters sit at the back, overlooking an inner courtyard or garden. The only way in for large items is through the back door, up a narrow garden path, and somehow to the upper levels. A furniture elevator that leans on the facade simply has no place here.
Without a GEDA construction lift, you are left with one option: carrying everything by hand through cramped hallways and narrow stairs. For a full household, that can mean a full day of manual labour and a real risk of damage. Check availability and call now to avoid unnecessary delays.
Without a GEDA building lift, every item has to be carried manually through narrow hallways, garden gates, and back staircases. This turns a 3-hour job into an all-day marathon. You need more movers, which means higher labour costs. Heavy items like washing machines and wardrobes risk being dropped on uneven garden paths or narrow stairs.
Damaged flooring, scratched doorframes, and broken furniture are common results. A professional moving lift at €225 per hour is a direct investment that pays for itself by cutting hours off your move, protecting your belongings, and preventing damage claims from your landlord. Reserve your GEDA lift hire today and let us handle the heavy lifting.
Modular design allows customisation to any building and situation. This professional furniture elevator adapts to every location.
Our team arrives with the modular lift components and assesses the location. The GEDA construction lift is then assembled section by section from the ground up, creating a freestanding tower with a motorised platform. The entire structure is secured and stabilised before operation begins. Every job comes as a moving lift with operator -- you never have to handle equipment yourself.
Once built, this building lift in Amsterdam operates similarly to our other models: items are loaded onto the platform and lifted to the required storey. The key difference is that the GEDA lift does not need to lean against anything. It can stand in a garden, courtyard or any open space next to the building. Whether you need to transport a sofa, a washing machine or renovation materials, just book now and we take care of the rest.
Our lifts are available Mon-Sat 07:00-19:00, Sunday on request. Call now to check availability.

Transparent pricing for every GEDA lift hire. VAT and trained operator always included. See our complete pricing overview for all lift types.
You need a GEDA lift when there is no suitable facade access for a standard stair lift or trailer lift. Common situations include apartments that can only be reached via the backyard, buildings with inner courtyards, or properties where the front facade is too narrow or obstructed. Our team will advise you on the best option when you call.
Assembly typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the required height and complexity of the location. This time is included in the first hour. Our experienced team handles the entire assembly and removal process.
Yes. The individual sections of the GEDA lift are compact and can be carried through narrow passages, gates and hallways. This is one of the key advantages of the modular design: the components go where a fully assembled lift never could.
The GEDA lift requires more equipment, more labour (assembly and disassembly on-site), and specialised expertise. It is a custom solution for situations where no other lift type will work. Despite the higher price, it is often the only way to avoid carrying everything by hand through narrow stairways.
If the GEDA lift is placed entirely on private property (your backyard or inner courtyard), a permit is usually not required. If any part of the equipment or our vehicle needs to use public road or pavement, you will need an objectvergunning from the municipality. We check this for you when you call and advise on the exact requirements for your address.
Yes. The GEDA lift is popular for renovation projects across every Amsterdam district, especially in canal houses where building materials, kitchen units and bathroom fixtures need to reach upper levels. Contractors across the city center hire our GEDA construction lifts to transport heavy materials that cannot go through narrow stairs. We offer hourly and half-day rates -- book now or call to check availability for your project.
Real feedback from Amsterdam residents and contractors.
"Our apartment in De Pijp is only accessible from the back garden. No street-side windows big enough for a sofa. The GEDA lift team built the tower in the garden and had everything upstairs in 2 hours. Could not have done it any other way."
"We renovated a canal house on the Prinsengracht. The GEDA lift came through the courtyard and hoisted all our kitchen units and bathroom fixtures to the 3rd floor. The crew was fast and very careful with the listed building."
"I manage 12 rental apartments in Amsterdam West. Every time a tenant moves in or out of a rear-facing unit, I call MovingLift for a GEDA. They know the buildings, the access points, and they always deliver."
