A care home in Stoke had two passenger lifts within their building. One of them was working smooth as butter as we gave it a lift upgrade previously. The other one however, became problematic and needed urgent attention.
As they have two lifts, we decided the most practical and efficient solution was a replacement lift. We removed and replaced the original passenger lift and replaced it with a brand-new platform lift.
This is effective as the platform lift can be used as a back-up to the original lift. Due to the platform being a back-up, it means it would see less usage than the old passenger lift, meaning less issues.
This means that if the main lift is out of order, residents can use the back-up lift.
Typically, we would never advise to put a platform lift as the only lift in a care home. The reason for this is because of high usage. However, as a secondary back up lift, this is where platform lifts shine.
The care home initially went to another lift company regarding their second lift, but ultimately went with us as our costs were a third of the other companies cost. As well as this, we completed all work in an extremely short time period.
If you are experiencing any issues with your lift please get in touch today. The sooner you act the better.
