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.
The Liftaloo
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, hand wash, Bio degradable sanitary bin liner, phone holder, large mirror, internal IP68 LED solar recharge lighting, heavy duty gear hooks. Rock-solid stability 100% bunded leakproof integrity for the harshest marine conditions along with wheels that come into contact when the unit needs to be manoeuvred and corner handles for safety and deck lashing.

Features include:
-
DIN 16194 compliance
-
Removable tank for servicing without removing the entire unit
-
Quick-disconnect dry-lock couplings
-
Fully sealed tank, zero spillage.
-
Two way watertight membrane breathable vent valves for gas expansion and contraction
-
Dedicated moulded lifting sling groves
The tank avoids unwanted slosh and spillage; easier logistics to take back to shore for odour free servicing than other non compliant solutions.
ADVANCED WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The custom-designed DIN 16194 compliant Waste Tank offers a superior and more reliable solution compared to standard portable toilets by focusing on quality, compliance, and user-friendly maintenance. Its heavy-duty LDPE construction is certified for lifting, ensuring maximum durability and safety, while its capacity is fully compliant with the latest DIN 16194 standards.

Purpose-Built Sanitation for Inside Wind Turbines
Why Contractors Choose Griffin
Optimised design gives unmatched Logistics and Access Engineered for Extreme Durability. - Patented structural corner extrusions allow the full size cabin to fold to a diagonal profile to pass through narrow access doorways. A full size cubicle can be passed through a narrow door. - Certified Single Point and DNV 4-Point lifting. - Dry or wet toilet solutions to suit client requirements. - 30 minute Fire-rated construction (body is self-ashing and roof is non-dripping opaque). - Hospital grade germ-free wall cladding. - Marine grade Mil'spec materials and ballasted base with tie down points allow outside usage.
Griffin's Director is the named inventor on the patent for the first ever offshore in-turbine toilet. First deployed in 2017.
The Griffin Internal welfare solution is robust, remarkably light using Milspec honeycomb alloy panel, fire rated and certified, engineered for demanding, remote environments. Compliant for fire rated in turbine installation. Its patented construction allows for a full size toilet to fit through a narrow turbine access door.
Critical advantages for offshore and industrial environments.
- Seamless Four Bolt Assembly: Once inside, the cabin is quickly secured and ready for service with our four bolt assembly to keep the building aspect as simple as possible. - Easy Dismantle Access: The unit can be craned in one piece and maneuvered through narrow turbine doors and constrained openings for easy deployment. - Rapid Deployment: This eliminates the need to break down and rebuild the cabin at the installation site. - Durable Construction: Designed to outlast the asset's lifetime.
The Internaloo’s Seamless Four Bolt Assembly is a huge competitive advantage, showcasing our superior, simpler, and more efficient engineering. Fewer fasteners mean dramatically faster mobilisation, quicker assembly and dismantle times, and reduced complexity. We keep the building aspect as simple as possible, reducing potential for error on site. Achieving robust, reliable security with only four bolts—where competitors require more —is proof of the Internaloo's advanced, patented construction. This level of innovation ensures rapid deployment without compromising the integrity required for industrial and offshore environments.
Engineered for true Rapid Deployment and Easy Dismantle Access, the Internaloo is designed to be craned and maneuverer into place in simplified 3 pieces (the hanger, the sides and the base), even through narrow turbine doors and constrained openings. This critical innovation completely eliminates the significant time, labour, and risk associated with breaking down and rebuilding the cabin at the installation site with a pack down system. Furthermore, its Durable Construction is designed to outlast the asset's lifetime, ensuring clients receive maximum return on a long-term investment.
The Internaloo provides superior operational flexibility with Certified Single Point and DNV 4-Point lifting offering both options, providing logistical improvement.
Option for a dry or wet toilet system for maximizing the Internaloo's deployment flexibility and clients requirements, ensuring technician comfort, especially in complex environments like wind turbines.
This dual capability allows the cabin to be safely installed in locations—such as near sensitive electrical or mechanical equipment—where water must be avoided to prevent a safety risk. By choosing the dry system option when necessary, maintaining compliance and operational safety.
Ultimately, this flexibility ensures that, regardless of the site restrictions, the cabin can still be installed to bring the highest level of comfort and dignity possible to the situation.
