Barnfield Construction Ltd

Vantage Court Offices for Cooke Fuels

Case Study

The Challenge

Local company, Barnfield Construction use Axess 2 platform lifts again for this project for Cooke (Samuel Cooke and Co) Fuels offices in Barrowford.

Barnfield Construction chose our A5 platform screw lift for the first offices on the Vantage Court site, which was perfect for the requirements for Part M of the building regulations, as this type of platform lift is designed for disabled access only with low use.

The client along with Barnfield Construction wanted a more useable lift with a more conventional passenger lift appearance.

A visit was made to the Axess 2 showroom, to view and ride in the new A7 E-motion pitless lift with low headroom. All were impressed with the look and feel of the product and after a short time decided to chose the lift specification and interior exactly how we had it in our offices. We believe it is much better to see our lift before buying, especially in these times when value for money and reassurance is needed.

The Solution

Although extremely high specification of lift car and glass structure was chosen, as it comes from our range, the lift was delivered within the eight weeks remit. The Vantage Court site had been prepared correctly by Barnfield Construction, to our drawings and the whole structure and complete platform lift were installed in 4 days. There were a couple of special items requested, as there was no permanent power on site we installed the lift from a 1kw generator, and because the lift is so low powered we only used half of the power output, this meant we did not delay any of the project due to power requirements. The client also wanted to have a tiled floor in the cabin, so a 15mm recess was designed in the cabin floor to allow a tile to be installed.

The Outcome

Just look at the pictures they speak for themselves, a unique modern platform lift for our discerning customers in 2010.
