Carefully engineered to suit both modern and architecturally sensitive settings, our circular glass cabin lifts offer smooth operation, refined aesthetics, and reliable performance—delivering a lift solution that is as visually impressive as it is functional.
A finish to suit every space
From glazed and mirrored panels to bespoke colours and lighting, every circular lift is finished to match the property it’s installed in.
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

Circular lift questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often. Can’t find what you need? Call 01206 803 132.
How Much Space Is Required for a Circular Lift?
The smallest APL Circular Glass Cabin Lift has a structure diameter of 1,300mm. We have a range of sizes available, to book a no obligation consultation with our expert sales team please contact us.
What Is the Size of a Standard Circular Elevator?
Circular lifts are purposefully designed to be compact and space-efficient, making them a practical solution for properties with limited room. Our APL Circular Glass Cabin Lift comes in three sizes – Ø1,300mm, Ø1,450mm and Ø1,600mm (the Ø1,600mm lift has a 1,670mm structure).
Where Is a Circular Lift Best Placed in a Building?
The ideal location for a circular lift depends on your building’s layout and your specific needs. Stairwells are a popular option, especially if you have a spiral staircase or unused space near an existing stairwell. Alternatively, placing a circular lift in a central living area, such as a lounge or entrance hall, can create a striking focal point that serves both as a functional addition and a modern design statement.
