Showcasing our latest double lift installation, benefitting the residents of social housing provider Pobl in Newport, South Wales.
The apartments were constructed in timber frame which meant that the Ideal Frame System was specified to facilitate natural vertical timber movement.
Ideal lifts installed two of our increasingly popular, energy efficient IL3E Eco-Drive passenger lifts into this later living development.
The Ideal Eco-Drive passenger lift uses 35% less electricity than conventional traction lifts and can achieve two BREEAM credits. A fully compliant EN81-71, Category 1, Vandal Resistant lift is also available in this model.
During the construction of these stunning apartments, which incorporated solar panels and green roofs, the local community ‘adopted’ an old site office as a small meeting place which was known locally as The Shed/Y Sied, but unfortunately this was lost to make way for the new development.
When building names were suggested for the new development, the local community were vocal with the opinion that only one name was possible, ‘THE SHED/Y SIED’. This new bigger community hub now forms a vital part of this later living complex.
One of the passenger lifts is cleverly designed as a through-car to give access to the rear sloping gardens for the residents.
The lifts were 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 allows the lift to be monitored remotely enabling diagnoses, and on a number of tasks rectifying, without the need for site visits.
The award-winning site manager for this scheme, Matthew Hall, from J.G. Hale Construction had this to say about the lifts.
“WITH THE END OF THE DEVELOPMENT VERY NEAR, I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER FAULTLESS LEVEL OF SERVICE YET AGAIN. IDEAL LIFTS HAVE WORKED YOURSELF TO THE TOP OF THE LADDER TO BE ON THE LIST OF OUR A* PERFORMERS.
FROM QUOTATION TO COMMISSION, YOU MAKE EVERYTHING EASY FOR YOUR CUSTOMER. COMMUNICATION IS ON POINT AND THE END PRODUCT IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ANOTHER COMPLETED DEVELOPMENT, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THE NEXT.”
Ideal Lifts Director, David Whorwood said “This development is one of the most impressive I’ve seen in a long time. It was great to tour the completed site and see the contribution our lifts have made to this important new building.”
Our history with Housing Associations 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” which meets the Housing Associations exact specification.
