Our range of Multi-level Home Lifts and other lifts can provide you with a choice of residential or commercial lifts tailor made to suit your exact requirements.
We are happy to offer you free advice and help you through the process of selecting the best type of lift for your needs. We also work with Occupational Therapists and local authorities on DFG (Disabled Facilities Grant) projects.
We have a huge range of lifts suitable for all types and styles (traditional or contemporary) of properties such as: Town Houses, Detached, Semi-Detached, Terraced Properties, Properties with Loft Conversions, Cottages, Country Residences, Flats and Penthouse Apartments.
Made to Measure Multi-level Home Lifts
Our lifts are available as Hydraulic Platform Lifts or Electric Powered Traction Lifts (240 volt or 3 phase). We will advise you as to which type of lift will best suit your needs and explain the different options that are available to you taking into account various factors such as the available space for a lift within your property, the desired performance of the lift – e.g. how many floors/ levels will it serve and other operational factors such the rate of travel (speed) of the lift, the required load capacity, key pad security options and of course the choice of finishes available for the lift cabin.
Lifts for Loft Conversions
Our loft conversion lifts can be installed (space permitting) inside a property or in certain cases externally on a side or rear wall of a property. Depending on the space available these lifts can be large enough to accommodate a wheelchair user or where space is at a premium just a single passenger with the option of a fold down wall seat in the lift cabin.
Loft conversion companies, architects, builders and members of the public are welcome to contact us or email their plans / drawings to us. We will study those plans and offer you free general and technical advice as to whether it is possible to incorporate one of our lifts into your project thus opening up the possibility for people who have difficulties in using stairs, including the disabled, to be able to easily access and use or perhaps live in a loft conversion / granny flat.
Small Lifts
We have lifts with floor sizes from under one metre square – i.e. taking up about as much the floor space a domestic upright fridge freezer or a small shower cubicle tray.
Medium & Larger Size Lifts
Our larger lifts have load capacities for several people including wheelchairs and heavy powerchairs or mobility scooters.
Made to Measure Home Stretcher Bed Lifts
We can also supply custom made lifts for use in private residential properties where there is a requirement for a lift to be large / long enough to transport a home stretcher bed lift or a larger powerchair. Please see the Stretcher Bed page on this website for more details.
Further information about our range of lifts:
We have lifts with different door configurations (layouts). For example, you can enter the lift car/ cabin from the front then the lift travels up or down to the desired floor/ level then you can exit the lift from the right hand side, the left hand side or even straight through and out of the back of the lift depending on the layout of the building. The ability to configure the layout of the doors can be a vital factor in designing a lift in some homes- for example when a lift with its door facing forwards directly into the room is positioned at the back of an underground / basement garage then travels up to the ground floor where its door now has to open up on the left hand side of the lift car/ cabin onto the hallway and then finally the lift travels up to the first floor landing where now its door has to open out of the back of the lift car/ cabin in order to avoid the banisters. In traditional homes our lifts can be hidden behind solid or plasterboard walls, we can even conceal lifts behind doors that match antique wood panelling. Alternatively if you are after a contemporary design we can supply lifts in self-supporting structures constructed of panoramic glass fitted to a customised special finished metal framework, these glass towers can make a bold visual statement and can even be situated inside a stairwell.
As for the interior design choices for your lift car/ cabin, the possibilities are endless:
Walls: Wood effect, wall mirrors, leather panels, full height plate mirror glass, patterned etched glass, special metal finishes etc…
Floors: Marble, granite, tile, slate, laminate, checker plate steel, wood or carpet.
Lighting: LED ceiling lights, additional lighting around mirrors, addition floor level lighting.
Security Access: Key pad security options whereby a specific code has to be entered in order for the lift to operate or where an individual code is required in order to permit travel and access to a particular floor (or floors) within a property.
We are confident that we can design a lift to suit your home that you (and us) will be proud of.
Our Hydraulic Platform Lifts comprise of an electrically powered pump which forces hydraulic oil into a cylinder with a piston at the base of the lift which powers the lift car up or down. These lifts usually only require a normal 240 volt single phase electricity supply with some appropriate additional wiring and fuses. Typically we use this type of lift where there is a requirement to travel beyond just a single storey up to a height of 6 levels/ floors.
Our Electric (Traction) Lifts are more expensive than our Hydraulic Platform Lifts because they can travel faster and further by using an electric motor to power a winding mechanism attached to cables, a pulley and a counterweight. This type of lift might be used in a situation such as a Town House or large property where up to 8 levels/ floors are involved or where the rate of travel (speed) of the lift becomes a significant factor after about the 4th floor level. A single phase 240 volt electricity supply is sufficient for most installations of this type though using a 3 phase electrical power supply is also an option.
