Hi-Tec Lifts have just secured lift modernisation work in Staffordshire. We have secured lift modernisation projects in Crewe and Stoke for two existing customers. Lift upgrade work is an ideal solution for existing sites and offers clients many benefits over a full lift replacement.

We offer a free on site survey for customers and supply a detailed report and quote for all work that needs to be done. A lift modernisation normally includes an upgrade of the lift control system, landing pushes / indicators, car controls and all associated wiring. It can also include lift upgrade works to the hydraulics, doors and lift interior too.

From receipt of an order we can start on site within two weeks and all work is completed within one week. This gives our customers a fully upgraded lift within three weeks.

All the lift parts and components that we supply are open protocol and we offer a 24 month warranty on work completed.

Some parts on older lifts can become obsolete from manufacturers, so we will advise customers early so they can budget for lift modernisation work in the future. A lift upgrade can be done with no building work, no electrical changes and with very little hassle on site. They are a fast and cost effective solution to problem lifts.

We offer a nationwide service for all your Lift Maintenance, Lift Repair or Lift Modernisation requirements. We have installed many lifts in the Midlands including:- Stoke, Newcastle, Tamworth, Burton, Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Leicester, Coventry and Wolverhampton. We also offer the complete range of new lifts and full turn key packages that include lift removal, builders work and electrical work.

With offices located across the United Kingdom, we are able to provide a fully comprehensive package to all our clients.

Our bespoke range of passenger lifts is ideal for existing sites where a standard sized lift is not suitable.

The MRL traction lift gives the client a fast, reliable and eco-efficient product with two BREEAM credits. From receipt of an order and approvals, we can normally deliver a lift to site in around 8 weeks, making us much faster then the industry standard.

We have recently secured an order for some passenger lifts in London. The exciting office refurbishment project is for an existing contractor of Hi-Tec Lifts. The existing lifts on site need replacing due to age and unreliability. We have offered a full turn key package for the client including the lift removal and building work.

The two new MRL traction lifts will offer the office staff a high speed and smooth ride for their new office refurbishment.

Our MRL traction range of lifts offers the customer BREEAM credits and an efficient environmentally friendly product.

After a site survey we have managed to supply bespoke passenger lifts in the existing structure. We have offered even bigger lift cars, a much faster ride and they will use half the energy. We even managed to fit the landing entrances in the shaft to save on building work on all the entrances which saves the contractor money and time.

We was recently approached by a main contractor regarding a care home lift, who had issues on site with flooding. They had recently built a care home for the end client but the site flooded, meaning that the lift pit had been covered in water and damaged parts. The previous lift company had supplied a hydraulic lift meaning many parts were damaged in the floods.

Hi-Tec Lifts suggested an MRL traction passenger lift for the care home with a reduced headroom. This way if flooding ever occurred again, then the lift components would be above the water level, meaning no damage. We also assisted with sealing the lift pit and using a sump pump as a back up.

This care home lift needed a one stop shop from Hi-Tec Lifts as it is now an operational care home. The passenger lift was removed by us within a week, whilst leaving the site safe and looking the same to the end client.

An MRL traction passenger lift is an excellent solution over other types of lift. These lifts offer end clients many features and benefits including BREEAM eco-efficiency credits, fast service, no motor room requirement, reduced headroom option and smooth / silent operation.

We have installed thousands of lifts over the years and offer a bespoke range of lifts throughout the UK.

We offer the complete range of passenger lift products, all of which are fully open protocol including:-

• Passenger lifts (from 2 person to 33 person)
• Glass lifts
• Scenic lifts or Panoramic lifts
• Bespoke lifts (from 2 person to 33 person)
• Home lifts

All of our lifts are open protocol which means that any company can service or repair our lift products in the future. We offer a standard range of lifts but also offer fully bespoke solutions with any car size, load, door size or interior you want.

We even have a home lift that can move people and light goods on only single phase power. Our home lift range is a passenger lift with many advantages such as small lift pit, reduced headroom, full compliance to machinery directive and it feels and looks the same as a normal passenger lift. This home lift can be supplied with a steel structure and Hi-Tec can do all the associated builders and electrical work, giving you a one stop shop.

So if you have a project with a passenger lift or home lift on then please contact us if we can help at all for any lift repair or modernisation work, we also offer free site surveys and like to be involved from conception to completion.

Hi-Tec Lifts have supplied and installed a Hotel Lift for a client of ours on the South Coast. Having worked with the client on many projects previously, we was asked to be involved early.

We offered a free site survey to determine the right passenger lift for this project. The hotel is a fantastic old building on the sea front and offers clients the perfect stay on the south coast. A reliable hotel lift was required but the works undertaken to replace the lift were quite extensive.

Luckily at Hi-Tec Lifts we offer the full turn key solution for our clients. We removed the existing passenger lift and then adapted the top of the shaft to give us the increased headroom. Having used this range of passenger lifts for many years, we knew that the client would get an open protocol lift that was reliable. We supplied a new MRL traction 630kg 5 stop passenger lift for this hotel with a custom interior to suit the customers requirements.

Hi- Tec Lifts have been supplying and installing passenger lifts now for over 30 years and with over 1000 lifts installed we have vast experience of all lift types. All of our products are open protocol and high quality as we do not believe in cutting costs to win projects.

Hi-Tec Lifts have secured some further lift servicing work at multiple new sites in Staffordshire. The client is a property developer we work with on other buildings of theirs but due to excellent service from Hi-Tec staff, they have decided to use us for all sites.

Hi Tec Lift Systems offer traditional lift maintenance and lift service nationwide. We can offer preventative planned packages for all types of passenger lifts, goods lifts, platform lifts and access products. With over 30 years of experience, we have serviced and maintained all types of lift equipment throughout the UK.

Traditional lift maintenance allows our experienced lift engineers more time to look after your lifts on site. By offering the right lift service, our engineers can help cut down on call-outs, breakdowns and costs. By spending more time on an individual lift it allows our engineers to prevent issues happening in the future. We do not believe in giving our engineers huge rounds to complete each day as this can cut back on quality and time on site.

Our lift maintenance packages can be tailor made to suit clients requirements. We can offer standard contracts or comprehensive solutions for your lift servicing. However we like to take into consideration the type of equipment, usage, age and clients budgets before we agree the best way forward for you.

By having the right in house engineers and right lift maintenance structure in place, this will save you money, hassle and downtime for all your lifts. Our lift engineers have experience in servicing and repair work for all types of lifts. We currently have lift maintenance contracts in place throughout the UK for hydraulic lifts, traction lifts, platform lifts, step lifts, chain driven lifts and hoists.
