Hospital Lifts

Day in and day out, hundreds of patients, doctors, nurses, staff and visitors move between floors, in these environments hospital lifts are critical where time is precious. Low mobility areas in a hospital can make it tricky to gain access from the different floors whens stairs both internally and externally are not an option. Our range of lift solutions are suitable for all hospital applications and are reliable to move people and goods rapidly and smoothly.

Alliance Platform Lifts will ensure dimensions of hospital lifts are standard to at least accommodate for one stretcher. The interior design of the hospital lifts are stainless and the lighting is kept at a level that does not disturb patients. Hospital lift cabin buttons can be lowered than traditional lifts and the doors can be wider to suit.

What if my property is a grade listed building?

We are specialists in the design and installation of vertical platform lifts in historic and grade listed buildings – we’ve even fitted a lift in Westminster Abbey! 
 
We have extensive knowledge in this area and can provide all the technical information you need for a planning application. We also work with a number of specialist architects and planners who will be happy to assist.

Do we need a pit to have a vertical platform lift or home lift fitted?

No – although we prefer a small pit (between 60mm and 120 mm deep), we can easily fit a small ramp if this is not possible.

Will you carry out the required builders work?
