Lifts for Social Housing Providers

Social Housing Providers

Our history with Housing Associations and other Social Housing Providers is long, varied and successful.

Ideal Lifts understand the importance of long term maintenance and the role of using components from established suppliers. We are able to provide an ‘enhanced package lift’ meeting many of the Social Housing Providers lift specification.

As part of our enhanced passenger lift specifications we can include the following equipment, if required:

  • UK manufactured controller
  • CEG, Sassi and Ziel-Abegg motors
  • Fermator: Premium, Sovereign Spa and Robusta doors
  • Wittur: Hydra & Pegasus doors
  • Dewhurst & Schaeffer button and displays
  • Enlarged machine guides (16mm)
  • Safeline & Memcom (Avire) autodiallers
  • Memco door detectors
  • Safeline & Windcrest BS9999 Evacuation Control Communications Systems

In addition to the above, we are able to supply:

Ideal Lifts Open Protocol Policy

Guidance Notes:

Ideal Lifts has an open protocol policy, installing products, parts and components to our passenger lifts that are widely available.  

A classic example is our telephone autodialler, which is a non-proprietary open protocol system and therefore does not require specialist equipment to re-programme new contact numbers enabling the lift to be maintained by other suitably qualified lift companies.

The closed-protocol autodiallers supplied by some lift providers are pre-programmed to phone their own office telephone numbers and cannot be re-programmed. We believe this practice is not within the interest of the eventual building owners.

A typical cost to the building owner to subsequently install a replacement autodialler could be £2000-£3000. During the period when the autodialler is being replaced the lift cannot legally be used without another means of communication, causing considerable disruption to the building users.

The Engineers Programme Console remains the property of the Employer and remains on site.

Building owners and those with bulk service agreements, or those wishing to seek alternative tenders for maintenance after the warranty period should take into consideration the above.
