This week we finished a lift modernisation project at a shopping centre located in Washington, Tyne and Wear. this client is a brand new customer for us, so ensuring excellent service was crucial. We were asked to quote the modernise the goods lift, and shortly after successfully quoting we started the works.
We retained the existing Alberto Sassi motor and gearbox, but installed new:
- Schneider equipment – Control cabinet and inspection drive unit, including all new shaft wiring, COP & LOP’S with TFT’s
- Car top control box
- New lift ceiling light
- Re-roped the lift
- Fitted new shaft lighting
- New car gate switches and strikes
Thank you to Schneider Lift Controls Ltd. for the equipment used. We would also like to thank John Merrill for his support on this successful project. The Customer was ecstatic with our work. and they had this to say regarding the project:
“Hi James
Just a quick note to say a big thank you to you and your team for smooth project on modernising LZY2 Lift.
The comms from James and his team were clear and concise from the second the order was placed, all comms were on time and all parties knew what was happening and when.
Ascendant as a whole made the project seamless, and we will be engaging with Ascendant in future”
