Ideal Lifts Ltd. were approached by our repeat client, leading housing developer Crest Nicholson, who were working with one of England’s largest affordable housing providers The Guinness Partnership, to provide the lifts on a multi-block project by the historic Gloucester Quays.  The £85m waterfront scheme incorporates over 400 mixed-tenure homes, with a selection of 362 1&2-bed luxury apartments and 49 2&3-bed houses.

The Canalside project required Ideal Lifts Ltd. to install Category 2, BS EN 81-71 Vandal Resistant lifts in all blocks, with robust PEGASUS doors, finished in a durable linen textured stainless steel.

The project was of hybrid construction incorporating both traditional and Light Gauge Steel (LGS) blocks, we therefore installed some of the lifts in our Ideal Lifts Frame System and others using a direct wall-mounted solution.

In the LGS block the lifts were installed in our unique frame system for OFFSITE construction, removing the need for a conventional lift shaft.  The Frame System incorporates lifting beams, pit ladder and removes the need for scaffolding.  There is no need for additional special fabrication or steelwork inserts to be built in delivering a much-simplified repeatable process to the team.

The existing analogue telephone network will be switched off by 31 December 2025. Therefore, all the lifts were fitted with our optional Digital Communications Platform (DCP) providing the interface between the lift emergency Autodialler and a mobile telephone network, along with the additional option of a managed commercial grade SIM card package.

All lifts installed were our IL4 passenger lifts is for larger buildings and busy environments – to carry people higher and faster. Fitted with a premium variable speed motor room-less (MRL) gearless traction drive and can achieve 2 BREEAM credits.
