The Lift Installation Process
Lift installation is a complex process that demands careful planning and execution.

Finally, we connect the lift to the power source and test that it functions correctly. Lift installation is a complex task, but a necessary one in the eyes of absolute safety and functionality.

Benefits of Having a Lift Installed
Installing a lift delivers a whole host of benefits for your home, property, or business.
Lifts greatly enhance accessibility for those with mobility impairments, the elderly, or anyone needing to transport heavy loads, making movement between floors effortless. They are also a convenient alternative to stairs, especially in multi-story buildings.
A lift can increase the value of your building, making it more attractive to potential buyers or tenants. Lifts can also improve safety by reducing the risk of falls and injuries associated with stairs. Plus, when incorporated into the design of a building from the planning stage, they open up new possibilities for architectural creativity.
Finally, modern lifts are energy-efficient, making them a more environmentally friendly transportation option.
Here’s an extensive breakdown of the benefits:
- Accessibility: Lifts are a vital lifeline for those with mobility impairments, elderly individuals, and anyone needing to move heavy loads. By making it easier to navigate between floors, lifts make daily life accessible and inclusive for everyone.
- Convenience: Stairs giving you hassle? Take the lift! They offer a convenient way to get around, saving you time and energy in multi-story buildings.
- Property Value: Adding a lift can boost your building’s appeal to buyers or tenants seeking accessibility, making it a smart investment.
- Safety: Lifts provide a safer alternative to stairs, especially for those with mobility issues.
- Design Flexibility: Embrace greater design flexibility! When incorporated at the planning stage, lifts offer architects and designers more creativity for their building designs.
- Energy Efficiency: Modern lifts are designed to be energy-efficient, making them a more sustainable choice for getting around.
How Much Does a Lift Installation Cost?
The cost of a lift installation depends on several factors.
Firstly, the type of lift you choose plays a significant role in determining the price. Some lifts require more complex procedures and specialised skills, which can increase the overall cost. Another factor is the size and capacity of a lift. Larger lifts with higher carrying capacities naturally come at a higher cost compared to standard-sized lifts. Finally, the complexity of your building’s structure can affect the installation process. Buildings with more complex designs or challenging layouts may require more time and effort to install a lift, which can drive up the cost.
What Types of Lifts do we Install?
Throughout our years of lift installations, inspections and maintenance, we’ve worked within a variety of industries, installing and maintaining all types of lifts. Some of the lifts we’ve worked on include:
The most common type of lift, passenger lifts are used to transport people from floor to floor. Nowadays, passenger lifts are used in all sorts of buildings throughout every industry and are seen as the standard type of lift.
Platform lifts are used to add or increase accessibility in buildings. Nowadays, platform lifts can be a legal requirement if ramps and other forms of accessibility can’t be installed. Typically, platform lifts are small in size and are just large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
Typically used in commercial and industrial buildings, service lifts are designed to carry heavy loads that help businesses carry out everyday operations more efficiently. If it’s cargo that needs transporting from floor to floor, it’s service lifts that’ll do the job.
Glass lifts are just another form of passenger lifts. As the name suggests, glass lifts feature large panes of tempered glass that make for a nicer, more aesthetic-looking lift compared to your average steel passenger lift.
Making use of any vertical space within a parking lot or garage, car lifts are designed to carry the heavy weight of a vehicle and unlike their name suggests, car lifts are built to accommodate vans and heavier vehicles as well as cars.
Traditionally used in restaurants, dumbwaiters are small lifts that are used to transport small items from floor to floor.
