Showcasing our second hotel redevelopment in Buckinghamshire with our repeat client, who came to us as experts in installing lifts into timber buildings, located in their new timber extension.
Installing our energy saving IL3 Eco-Drive lift within our Ideal Lifts Frame System, which is specifically designed to accommodate the natural vertical settlement of the timber building.
By using our frame system in place of a traditional block lift shaft, the developer was able to avoid various construction issues associated with building traditional block lift shafts in timber buildings, such as compromising the fire integrity of the lifts shaft as well as any potential trip hazards and expensive landing entrance repairs caused by the settlement period.
The IL3 , motor room-less (MRL) gearless traction drive passenger lift was ideally suited by reducing energy use. The IL3 passenger lifts use 35% less electricity than conventional traction lifts and can achieve two BREEAM credits. For further information about the IL3 Eco-Drive see our Video.
Due to incoming power constraints on this site, our Single Phase (240v) drive lift was installed.
The 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.
The existing analogue telephone network will be switched off by 31 December 2025. Therefore, the lift was fitted with our optional Digital Communications Platform (DCP) providing the interface between the lift emergency Autodialler and a mobile telephone network.
