Commercial Lifts

Installing a commercial lift can benefit your business in many ways.

For example, a commercial wheelchair lift will allow wheelchair users to move between floors safely and comfortably – making your building much more accessible for employees and customers.

A commercial stairlift, on the other hand, will improve accessibility without taking up too much space. These have a compact footprint and feature a platform that can be folded away neatly against the wall, allowing others to use the staircase.

Commercial lifts, such as goods lifts and dumbwaiters, can be used to transport heavy or awkward items up and down the stairs. Whilst this reduces the need for manual lifting, it also increases productivity in the workplace.

Choosing a commercial lift can be difficult – especially with so many options available. But our experts can help.

One of the most important factors to consider is what your lift will be used for.

Commercial vertical platform lifts and wheelchair lifts can be used to transfer passengers with reduced mobility – either seated in their wheelchair or a folding seat.

Goods lifts and dumbwaiters can be used solely for goods and/or passengers and are most beneficial for busy environments, such as warehouses, factories, restaurants, etc.

Depending on where your commercial lift will go, you need to make sure there is ample space for it to be installed and used safely. It also needs to cater for the width and length of wheelchairs and have a suitable lifting capacity.

A commercial stair lift is an excellent alternative to a vertical platform lift. If your staircase has several turns or landings, a curved rail platform will ensure smooth operation, whereas a straight rail platform stair lift will suit most standard flights of stairs or wheelchair ramps.

If you’d like to discuss your requirements in further detail or receive expert advice, talk to the team at Level Access Lifts. We’ll happily assist you in choosing the best commercial lift for your needs, space and budget.

Most commercial lifts will need to be inspected at least once a year, but this can vary depending on how often your lift is used and the manufacturer’s guidelines.

For example, if your commercial platform lift is in a high-traffic area, such as a hospital or public building, it may need to be serviced more frequently to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Scheduling routine maintenance and servicing for your commercial lift can help to prevent potential issues and identify necessary repairs or replacements before they escalate into something much more serious. It will also ensure optimal performance, safety and longevity.

During a commercial lift service, an inspector will check and adjust the cables and pulleys as well as the hydraulic or pneumatic system.

They’ll also replace worn or damaged parts and test the safety features and emergency systems.
