Our bespoke lift installation means you can get a state-of-the-art lift in your building, but what lift do you need? In a market as vast as lifts, figuring out what lift you need can feel confusing. Fear not, this guide should serve as a pointer of what to invest in.
Having a lift in your building means its more inclusive and ensures people with mobility issues can traverse from floor to floor stress free. With this being said however, some buildings have lots of floors, while some have only a few. Because of this, certain types of lift aren’t always practical. Our bespoke lift installation means we can tailor our work to you.
Types Of Lift We Deal With
What Lift Is Best For My Building?
This depends on how many floors, how often it is used, how necessary to the building it is and other factors. Here is a general rundown of what lift is best for your building.
Passenger Lift
Passenger lifts are the most common types of it, it only takes a short walk in a town to find one. They are often found in shopping centres, care homes, flat blocks or hospitals. Passenger lifts are best for buildings with high lift usage or with multiple floors. With regular maintenance, they can last a long time.
Platform Lift
Platform lifts are a one-stop solution, specialising in disabled access. They are different to passenger lifts as they are specifically made for disabled people. Unlike the passenger lift, they do not need any building work to install and are cheaper. Platform lifts are best in buildings with low travel and low lift usage, such as schools, office blocks or community centres.
Step Lift
Step lifts are another great disabled access solution. Like step lifts, they are specifically for disabled users. The main different between this and a step lift is that step lifts are used for raised entrances or less than 1m of travel. With this being said, they are a perfect solution for disabled access.
Goods Lifts
Goods lifts are, as the name implies, strictly used for goods. These are often in warehouses, shops, resteraunts or anywhere where goods need to be transported from floor to floor. They can be for a small or large amount of goods. These lifts are best for a building that requires constant moving of goods.
