In a Sunderland care home, we installed a platform lift as a backup to their passenger lift. This means, in the event of the main lift breaking down, disabled residents and staff can use the platform lift, ensuring disabled access at all times.
Platform lifts are an excellent addition to any building, they come with a wide variety of benefits and features. A great benefit of platform lifts is that during installation, there is no additional building or electrical work needed, making installation seamless. In addition to this, a lift pit or shaft isn’t needed either, making for an easy and quick installation. Having a platform lift as a backup is effective as it ensures lift access is always prevalent.
The Benefits
- Cost effective (half the cost of some conventional lifts)
- No lift shaft or pit required (saves lots on cost and space)
- Swift delivery (6 weeks, some lifts can be up to 16 weeks)
- Reduced headroom space (installed with no additional building work)
- Operates on single phase power only (big savings on power and install)
- Quick installation (2 to 3 days instead of 4 weeks like some other lifts)
- Various platform sizes to suit all projects and building restrictions
