    The IL2 Hybrid Design

    The IL2 hybrid designs offer much of the functionality of a conventional passenger lift, with a fully enclosed cabin and automatic ‘one touch’ car and landing controls. Automatic 2 panel sliding car and landing doors are included as standard. The IL2 is designed to fit in a greatly reduced pit and only requires minimum headroom. In keeping with EN81-41 the IL2 has a drive system designed for low use where speed is not an issue.

    Full Width Landing Entrances

    With a plethora of benefits to constructors our full width landing entrances can offer an alternative to time-consuming, costly and messy finishing on site. During construction, communal areas, such as landing hallways, are often completed towards the end of the programme. By reducing associated works by the contractor, full width entrances contribute to the earlier completion and handover of the building.

    Ideal Lifts install only open protocol products, parts and components and therefore your machine will not require specialist equipment, obtainable only through us, to enable the lift to be maintained by other qualified lift companies.
