Pitless passenger lift, installed at Oscars Burnley

Case Study

Install our brand new A7-emotion ‘Leonardo’ traction platform lift, with machine room in lift shaft, and new low power geared motor.

The Challenge

The client was very specific about the type of lift required for this project, they had previously used an ‘L’ shaped conventional platform lift, but they had found that some people had found it difficult to hold down the lift button to run and some people did not really like the feel of the open style platform travelling in a shaft. They wanted originally a conventional 8 person passenger lift, however with advice from structural engineers they could not build the pit required. The clients contacted Axess 2 purely by chance at a trade exhibition, where they had seen our new A7 traction lift.

The Solution

We visited the site and found that the E - Motion lift was more than suitable for the project as the lift only requires a 200mm pit and 2700mm headroom, with a smaller lift shaft required for a DDA compliant size, this allowed the client more retail area. As the lift has automatic sliding car doors and one touch controls the users would not know they are travelling in a platform lift.

The Outcome

With a maximum power usage of 4 amps our new A7 passenger lift will provide Oscars clients with a safe comfortable way to travel within the store.

I am delighted with the end product provided by Axess 2, we really are looking forward to opening more stores and now feel we have found a truly exceptional lift company to work in partnership with, and with the low maintenance fixed costs we can plan our budget far easier.
