What Are the Different Types of Lifts We Install?
PASSENGER LIFTS
Passenger lifts are as the name says, lifts designed to carry passengers up and down a vertical shaft. These lifts are hugely popular and are used across all sections, public, private, commercial and more.
They are used in hospitals, hotels, office buildings etc. They are designed to improve accessibility making it much easier to traverse big distances across a building. Possible lifting mechanisms for a passenger lift include pneumatic, traction and hydraulic lifting methods.
GLASS & SCENIC LIFTS
Scenic Lifts or panoramic glass lifts offer the functionality of a lift without compromising the aesthetic look of your building. This allows the lift to blend seamlessly into the interior and exterior of your building. VM Elevators can customise your scenic lift so that it meets your requirements.
DUMB WAITERS
Dumbwaiters are automatic services lifts that are miniature in size so are used for transporting small goods.
Traditionally you would find these in use in kitchens to transport food from the kitchen to the restaurant and for the waiters to return dirty dishes to the kitchen staff below.
They can be used in any commercial setting though and although still in use in commercial applications like restaurants they can also be found in hotels and hospitals.
PLATFORM LIFTS
A platform lift, also commonly known as a wheelchair lift, is a passenger lift with added weight capabilities. Platform lifts are built with accessibility in mind. A platform lift will allow users with impaired mobility ease of access to your building. In some situations it is a legal requirement that accessibility to your building is possible for those with impaired mobility, and if a ramp is or other alternatives are not possible, a platform lift might be a legal necessity.
Goods & services lifts are usual commercial lifts found in commercial and industrial settings. They are perfect for transporting oversized, heavy items usually on trolleys, cages and pallets between multiple floors at retail stores, hospitals, warehouses and hospitals. The transport of passengers on a Goods lift is generally prohibited.GOODS & SERVICES LIFTS
VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION LIFTS
Vehicle lifts/car lifts are usually found in multi storey and residential carparks and are used to move vehicles vertically between floors. The benefit of the car park lift is that it allows the maximum number of parking spaces to be increased resulting in a more efficient car park.
Scissor lifts move personnel and equipment vertically. These are used in applications in place of a ladder or scaffolding.DOCK LEVELLER & SCISSOR LIFTS
A dock leveller is used to bridge the gap between a vehicle and the loading bay. This ensures that the safe and smooth unloading and loading of goods and materials.
A mobility lift is used to move passengers with impaired mobility through a passageway or into a space that would otherwise be inaccessible to them. These could accommodate both a user and a mobility aid, such as a mobility scooter or wheelchair. Common types of mobility lifts include stair lifts, wheelchair lifts, and lift chairs.MOBILITY LIFTS
ESCALATORS & MOVING WALKWAYS
Escalator or moving staircases are used to transport passengers vertically between floors or levels. Usually these are short distances. They are often found in mass pedestrian areas where there is a need to allow a constant flow. This can include the tube stations, retail stores and airports. Moving walkways, also known as travelators, are very similar but are used to move pedestrians horizontally. You will often find these in airports. These are ideal for travellers with impaired mobility.
