THE LIFTALOO™
OFFSHORE WELFARE SOLUTIONS
ENGINEERING THAT OUTPERFORMS

INDESTRUCTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
Rotomoulded one piece monocoque construction in tough fully recyclable LDPE - shockproof - no weld joints - no construction compromises. The FEA designed Internal lifting hanger spreads the load throughout the cabin enabling a single certified lifting point.
While others rely on brittle aluminium and welded steel frames with blow moulded or plastic coated wood panels and high maintenance multi-point lifting systems, Liftaloo is a one piece indestructible germ free shockproof unit. We are the first to deliver a certified welfare solution 100% leakproof even in the event of a knockdown, ensuring zero risk of environmental contamination. Sealed waste tank. No smells give full user pleasure, a first in remote sanitation.
SIMPLIFIED LOGISTICS
Patented single certified lifting point reduces LOLER equipment from nine pieces to just one, allowing safer and more efficient deployment and ongoing maintenance. The strength of the cabin is in its indestructible material, its FEA designed shape spreading the load throughout the cabin in conjunction with its single lifting point.
By eliminating the need for a separate lifting frame, Liftaloo simplifies logistics Shackles, lifting eyes, and frames all require regular testing – the LiftaLoo cuts that down dramatically. You can swap out the single lifting eye in seconds with a fresh certified one and reuse lifting hangers across multiple cabins. This means quicker mobilisations, less downtime, and more space efficiency on deck.
COMPLIANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The mission is to elevate human dignity and safety for technicians by providing welfare solutions that ensure full compliance with health and safety standards while protecting the environment from human waste. We have moved beyond the industry standard "So far as reasonably practicable" (SFAIRP) approach to provide fully compliant solutions that meet non-negotiable HSE demands.
Critically, the HSE mandates hot water — a significant challenge without external power. Griffin has successfully achieved this non-negotiable requirement. The Liftaloo features a standalone hot water handwash to meet the non-negotiable HSE mandate for full compliance and superior hygiene.
HYGIENE-FIRST
The Liftaloo features a magnetic seat lift to keep the toilet seat raised, preventing the seat from being splashed, along with a higher than standard seat height, it promotes a hygiene-first design to combat poor aim and allowing a hover posture. Liftaloo has a raised heel step for seated use. By raising the knees above the hips, this posture helps to naturally align the body's internal passage as recommended by the NHS.
The toilet bowl is high quality marine-grade porcelain. Recirculating flush negates fresh water to be carried to the turbine minimising water consumption. One way valves prevent waste returning once flushed into the sealed waste tank eliminating odour. The Liftaloo offers unparalleled offshore compliance safety and user comfort, featuring a secure, DDA-compliant locking door, non-slip flooring, stand alone hot water, and solar recharge lighting.

FEATURES INCLUDE:
- DIN 16194 compliance
- Removable tank for easy servicing
- Quick-disconnect dry-lock couplings
- Fully sealed tank, zero spillage
- Watertight breathable vent valves
- Dedicated slinging grooves
The tank avoids unwanted slosh and spillage; easier logistics back to shore for odour free servicing than other non compliant solutions.
ADVANCED WASTE MANAGEMENT
The custom-designed DIN 16194 compliant Waste Tank offers a superior and more reliable solution by focusing on quality and compliance. Its heavy-duty LDPE construction is certified for lifting, ensuring maximum durability and safety.

THE LIFTALOO VS CURRENT MARKET UNITS FOR OFFSHORE WELFARE COMPARISON
The Griffin Cabin incorporates significant improvements over current systems. From a lower single lifting point, lighter weight, tougher construction through design and materials, to utilising a zero-spillage removable waste tank for easy service giving simpler logistics.
