Passenger Lifts for Timber Apartments

Ideal Lifts Timber Apartments

Based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, this development is part of the largest self & custom build community in the UK.

The apartments provide luxury open plan living designed to maximise space and comfort, that have been built with energy efficiency in mind.

Ideal Lifts were approached as market leaders in installing lifts within Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to install 4 passenger lifts in the timber framed apartment buildings.

We installed four 13-person, traction, 1m/s lifts within our Ideal Lifts Frame System, which is specifically designed to accommodate the natural vertical settlement of the timber building.

By using our frame system in place of a traditional block lift shaft, the developer was able to avoid various construction issues associated with building traditional block lift shafts in timber buildings, such as compromising the fire integrity of the lifts shaft as well as any potential trip hazards and expensive landing entrance repairs caused by the settlement period.

All 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 system allows the lift to be monitored remotely which enables the service company to diagnose and resolve issues without having to visit site, resulting in improved response times for faults and reduced lift downtimes by knowing which replacement part is needed before we even attend site.
