Hi-Tec Lifts have just secured a platform lift order for a local council. The council needed some help providing disabled access for some of their staff and guests in a new office building. The issue was that a lift shaft or pit could not be formed due to space restrictions on site. Also they needed adjacent and front entrances on the platform lift or it would not have fitted in with the building design. Following a meeting on site with the customer and a site survey from Hi-Tec, the solution was resolved. We are supplying a new 2 stop 410kg Platform Lift for them with side and front entrances that fits perfectly within the staircase design.
From order placement, we was in the manufacturing period within a couple of days. Our delivery time is less than 7 weeks and we anticipate getting the new platform lift installed in 2 to 3 days. So from order placement to handover in 8 weeks.
Our platform lift range is fully compliant with European machine directive 2006/42/EC and is ideal where disabled access is required but space or budget restricts using a passenger lift. Our platform lift range offers our clients many features and benefits including:-
- No lift shaft required (comes with own enclosure and structure)
- No lift pit required (ramp or 50mm recess)
- Reduced headroom space (within normal ceiling space)
- Smaller footprint than passenger lift products
- Quick Delivery (6 weeks)
- Quick Installation (2 to 3 days)
- Quiet and energy efficient
- Runs on single phase power only
- Single touch controls on landings (continuous pressure in cabin)
- Various platform sizes available to suit all projects
- European machine directive 2006/42/EC compliance
We offer a proven screw and nut drive system that is completely self-contained, meaning machine rooms or extra space is not required. We have many years experience of supplying this platform lift range and still have many of our installations in our service portfolio in the Midlands and North West.
