Lift Installation

PVE52 Three Passenger Residential Elevator

Having a lift installed in your home might seem like a huge undertaking but with today’s modern technology it’s not as big a job or as disruptive as many people think. Let’s take a closer look at what a standard lift installation actually involves.

The standard choice for most homes is the stairlift if you want to provide a way of getting to the upper floors and you have limited mobility. The problem is that these aren’t always suitable. You may have a wheelchair, for example, and switching from this to the stairlift can be complicated, to say the least.

The objections that are often found for lift installation is that they require digging foundations and a large amount of building work in order to complete. This could not be further from the truth.

Our Gulliver platform lift, for example, is ideal for smaller spaces and is perfect for fitting in the home. The installation can be completed in just a few days and the lift comes with it’s own shaft so you don’t need to build a concrete frame to surround it. Our Vacuum PVE is another example of a relatively easy to install elevator with no machine room required. It works using a vacuum pump and can fit in a building with a 15m vertical rise.

The other thing we should add is that these lifts are both very environmentally friendly as they use much less energy than other products on the market.

Of course, you might be a business or organisation that needs something built into the infrastructure. The Orion platform vertical lift is ideal for this and, though it needs a concrete shaft, can again be installed on your premises in just a few days.
