About KEWAZO
KEWAZO develops LIFTBOT, a battery-powered robotic lift for vertical material movement on construction and industrial-maintenance sites. Interchangeable platforms carry scaffolding, insulation, paint, tools and mechanical or electrical equipment along a temporary rail mounted to scaffolds or directly to a structure.
LIFTBOT installs in about 20 minutes, operates to a certified height of 50 metres and moves at up to 42 metres per minute. A battery supports eight to ten hours of heavy use, and the system continues in winds up to 72 kilometres per hour. KEWAZO combines deployment and training with ONSITE analytics for tracking material flow and KEWAZO CARE lifecycle support.
