Whilst we don’t go as far as to build your lift shaft for you, we do provide our clients with detailed site-specific construction works information (in CAD/BIM) to allow you to provide a simple non-load bearing lift shaft to interface with our frame system. Our frame mounted passenger lift installation requires only standard walls or panels in timber frame, light gauge steel (LGS), modular, and pre-cast concrete.
