Manufacturing site offices, Oxfordshire
A food manufacturer wanted step-free access between floors in its site offices.








The challenge
A food manufacturer wanted step-free access between floors in its site offices.
The lift had to fit a new floor opening, with doors that matched the building’s timber joinery.


Our solution: Hydraulic Platform Lift
We installed a 400kg APL Hydraulic Platform Lift through a new floor opening, needing a pit of just 66mm. The 1,280 x 1,100mm platform enters on one side at the lower level and on the other at the upper level.
Half-hour fire-rated oak-veneer doors match the offices, and the lift was handed over in autumn 2022.

We have used Alliance Platform Lifts on various projects over the last 3-4 years and we find them to be professional, punctual and very forward thinking. No problem is too great and the communication at both tender and post installation stage is second to none. We will continue to use APL’s services on any future platform or cabin lift projects we have.Daniel Griffin · Google review
