New-build residential scheme, London
This new-build residential scheme needed a large lift to link its basement with the floor above.








The challenge
This new-build residential scheme needed a large lift to link its basement with the floor above.
The lift had to handle residents, deliveries and bulky items, with a wide opening and a hard-wearing car.


Our solution: Heavy-Duty Cabin Lift
We installed a hydraulic APL Heavy-Duty Cabin Lift with a 1,700 x 2,500mm car rated at 1,300kg (17 persons), travelling 3,575mm between two floors. Automatic telescopic doors give a 1,200 x 2,000mm opening for residents, deliveries and bulky items.
Brushed stainless steel walls and doors, a tread-plate floor and a handrail keep the car practical and easy to maintain. The lift was completed in March 2026.

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
