Ideal Lifts Ltd.

Barking, London: Modular

Barking London

Our ground-breaking compact frame-mounted lift was the ideal solution to meet the needs of this Modular client, who came to us after their original lift contractor couldn’t measure up.

The need to provide a vandal resistant lift EN81-71 (Category 1) and the number of floors ruled out the use of a typically smaller, platform lift.

The challenge was to fit a fully compliant frame-mounted passenger lift and to also comply with Part M4 (2) of Building Regulations for accessibility standards. Ideal Lifts were able to achieve an incredibly compact 1670mm wide lift shaft, adjacent to a 1000mm corridor all within a factory standard module size of just 3000mm. This was made possible with early client engagement.

In addition to a compact footprint was the need for improved energy efficiency, we therefore specified our IL3 ECO-DRIVE to serve the 4-storey apartment block.

With an ever-increasing demand to reduce energy, our IL3 ECO-DRIVE uses 35% less electricity than conventional traction lifts and can achieve two BREEAM credits. Available to work on 3-phase, 415v or single phase, 240v.

The residential development was for a housing association who wanted a standard set of designs to deliver repeatability and drive efficiencies. The apartments included a 1-B flat, 8 x 2-B flats and 4 x 3-B flats aimed at helping to tackle the housing shortage in the area.

This lift was also fitted with our Automatic Remote Monitoring (ARM) System. Our advanced 24/7 ARM system provides building owners, managers and users additional confidence and peace of mind. The ARM system allows the lift to be monitored remotely which enables the service company to diagnose and resolve issues without having to visit site, resulting in improved response times for faults and reduced lift downtimes by knowing which replacement part is needed before we even attend site.
