Quattrolifts was born out of health and safety concerns for glass workers and businesses. Ricardo Carlei, the inventor of the Quattrolifts range, is a chiropractor who saw firsthand the chronic injuries and disabilities affecting people working with glass fabrication and installation.
It was from this, together with customers wanting bigger and heavier glass installed in their homes and businesses, that the team at Quattrolifts started to design innovative machines to help reduce the risk of injury.
