Hard working lift in a caring environment

ecalifts latest lift installations in a care home, tucked away within the foot hills of thePennines, has provided the residents and staff with environmentally friendly, multipurpose access, designed to allow for a variety of functions.

The care home, situated on the outskirts of Stalybridge, is a completely new facility springing from a former Victorian school. It has been designed from the ground up toprovide a warm, safe and convivial environment for its residents.

Being a care home facility, one of the key requirements was for access.

First and foremost, the design brief required safe and convenient access to allaccommodation levels from the reception area. The installation and subsequentfunctioning of the lift had to fit in with an eco-friendly ethos which permeated the new-buildblueprint from start to finish. It also had to fit into a compact design in lieu of the scale ofthe care home which was built to provide a friendly, domestic setting for the residents. 

The ecalifts Fluitronic Green lift (eFGL)) was the ideal solution for such requirements. Its quiet operation and small footprint in terms of shaft size (including the pit and headroom),were ideal for an interior design which has deliberately avoided the ‘institutionalised’ feel oftraditional care homes. Neatly tucked away into the corner of the care home reception, theeFGL provides quick, safe and efficient access to the homes three floors.

The eFGL’s environmentally friendly credentials include an extremely efficient power unitwith dry motor, resulting in very low power consumption with the operation of the lift.

ecalifts were also commissioned to install a separate dual purpose lift as further access was required for a complex combination of utility uses, to integratewith the fluid and open plan form of the facility.

The primary requirement was to provide a bespoke solution for transporting goods andpersonnel along the vertical axis to the kitchen on the ground floor. An intelligent designelement in the plan also had a requirement for horizontal personnel access from the heartof the care home to the exterior of the building.

Designed as a cross purpose platform and passenger lift, the ecalifts Sovereign VerticalPlatform lift was ideally suited for this purpose. The lift was installed with double entry doors which provided for the myriad of circulation options on both the vertical andhorizontal axes.

Procuring such solutions to complex design requirements has become ecalifts watchword.

Our extensive knowledge and experience, combined with an excellence in service secondto none, has afforded the residents of this outstanding care facility in Stalybridge withintelligent, safe and environmentally friendly access designed to enhance the quality oftheir lives.

This lift is especially suitable for heritage site applications with its ability to 'blend' into the background when level with the existing floor.
