A few examples of Wheel Chair Lifts we have designed and installed. As you can see, we are more than capable of handling any task you assign to us.

The first one top right is your basic no frills, 100% functional lift whilst the picture below is moulded into the surrounding building as if it were part of the original design.

The Staffordshire County Council
The S.C.C. Local Authority had an existing college entrance, with short rise stairs to each side of the reception and was required by current legislation to provide easy access for day pupils and mature students attending evening classes, who were ambulant or wheelchair users.

The reception had attractive modern 'finishes' with painted metal and wooden balustrades to the raised dias areas, stairs etc. The Client specified a cost effective installation that was to be robust, practical, reliable, restrict un-authorised use, make the best use of limited space, cause minimal disturbance, and blend with the décor.

Edinburgh Building Contractors, Messrs John Dennis & Co. Ltd, had difficulty locating a lift Company that could provide a wheelchair lift solution to operate in a "Light Well" situation, adjacent to the short rise entrance steps and landing of Scottish Provident's Head Quarters Building.

Saxon Engineering were located via the R.I.B.A database reference, as Designers and Manufacturers of Be-Spoke hydraulic scissor driven lift solutions.

The equipment had to withstand weathering and be operatable from a public pavement. To resist corrosion in the exposed conditions all fabricated steel sections were shot blast and hot zinc sprayed, electrical components specified to IP65 Marine Standard with the control panel sited remote and under cover.

The installation had to be unobtrusive and be totally complementary to the existing balustrade, the specification called for power operated gates, dedicated user card swipe control system & incorporate an intercom link.
