21m Boom Lift Supplied to IKEA Wuhan Store
Hubei Goman Heavy Industry has achieved another successful project in the commercial retail sector. The company’s custom-developed 21m self-propelled aerial work platform has been officially delivered to IKEA Wuhan Shopping Mall and put into high-frequency daily operation and maintenance tasks.

As a global benchmark in home furnishing retail, IKEA maintains extremely strict access standards for mechanical equipment in terms of environmental adaptability, working efficiency and silent performance. Featuring an optimal working height and ultra-narrow passage capability, Goman’s 21m aerial work platform effectively solves typical high-altitude maintenance challenges inside large shopping malls, including heavy pedestrian flow, narrow aisles and high-grade finished floors, becoming a key upgrade for IKEA’s facility maintenance system.
On-Site Pain Points: Vertical Maintenance Dilemmas in Retail Stores
As a flagship mall in central China, IKEA Wuhan presents highly challenging working conditions for aerial maintenance:
The store features multi-layer indoor ceilings equipped with large light boxes, fire sprinkler systems and signage installations. Traditional ladders and scaffolding fail to meet modern safety standards for high-level operation. In addition, retail floors are covered with premium epoxy flooring and stone tiles, while shelf aisles are limited to approximately 1.5 meters in width — making large boom lifts completely inaccessible.
Most importantly, IKEA prohibits long-term zone closures during daily maintenance, requiring all equipment to support flexible, fast and non-disruptive operation. Goman’s 21m aerial platform is purpose-built to resolve the triple dilemma of inaccessible spaces, insufficient working height and customer-disturbing maintenance.
Technical Advantages: Optimized 21m Golden Working Height & Micro Precision Control
The 21m aerial work platform is a scenario-tailored solution developed specifically for large retail and commercial environments. The 21-meter working height is precisely calculated as the golden height for mall maintenance, fully covering ceiling lights, advertising installations, sprinkler systems and top-layer shelves without the bulky size of oversized aerial equipment.
Ultra-Narrow Passage & Omni-Directional Mobility
With a narrowed chassis design and proprietary omni-directional driving technology, the machine supports 360° in-situ rotation and lateral movement within narrow 1.2-meter shelf gaps. Operators can precisely align working positions without repeated reversing, enabling flexible “threading-through” movement inside dense shelf layouts.
Ultra-Low Noise & Non-Disruptive Operation
Equipped with an optional full-electric drive system, the platform operates below 55dB, blending seamlessly with indoor background noise and realizing zero-disturbance maintenance during business hours.
Micro-Movement Precision Control
The precision hydraulic control system enables millimeter-level fine adjustment of the working basket, allowing operators to perform accurate positioning and avoid collision with display furniture, shelves and delicate indoor decorations.
On-Site Value: Higher Efficiency and Lower Operating Costs
Since deployment, the 21m aerial work platform has efficiently completed lighting system maintenance, POP advertisement replacement and high-level shelf restocking across multiple zones in IKEA Wuhan.
During the latest quarterly full-store inspection, the machine finished all high-altitude maintenance work within 3 hours — a task that previously required an entire day of manual scaffolding work — boosting overall operational efficiency by more than 60%. Equipped with an intelligent anti-tilt system and automatic leveling outriggers, the equipment provides superior safety redundancy during complex indoor operations.
Customer Testimonial
The facility maintenance supervisor of IKEA Wuhan commented highly on Goman’s equipment:
“Goman provides not only high-quality aerial machinery but also mature scenario-based maintenance solutions. Among all similar products we have evaluated, this 21m platform delivers the best narrow-space passability and silent performance. Its compact size and low noise greatly reduce impact on customer shopping experience, even during peak weekend business hours.”
Industry Significance: Setting a New Benchmark for Commercial Facility Maintenance
The successful delivery of the IKEA Wuhan project marks a solid step for Goman Heavy Industry in customized aerial equipment development for segmented commercial scenarios. It proves that aerial work machinery competition has shifted from simple height parameters to scenario adaptability and refined operation capability.
In the future, Goman Heavy Industry will continue to focus on customized solutions for shopping malls, logistics warehouses and high-end manufacturing industries, providing smarter, more compact and eco-friendly aerial equipment to support safer, more efficient vertical space maintenance across all sectors.
