The laundry lift system 1 is for use in a commercial laundry pit (18, Figure 10). A height adjustable framework 6 supports a top plate 2, for preventing laundry items falling on to a pit floor of the laundry pit. A controller is operable on the framework to move the top plate between a lowered position within the pit to allow laundry to hang down into the pit, and a raised position level with a floor at a top of the pit to allow retrieval of any fallen laundry items from the top plate. The top plate may be mounted to the framework by a releasable fastening means such as a magnetic strip. The top plate may comprise transparent sheet to allow visual inspection of the pit and framework. A flexible seal such as a brush seal may be used at outer edges 5 of the top plate. The framework may comprise a scissor lift 7 with a hydraulic actuator drive means 14. The system allows an operator to manoeuvre the lift system from the bottom of the laundry pit to the top, thus effecting an easy, safe and hygienic method of retrieving laundry from the laundry pit.
