Commercial platform lifts are space-saving, low maintenance transport solutions built for public and private commercial buildings. Whether you’re looking to improve accessibility in an office, hotel, school, or retail environment, these lifts offer smooth and reliable operation with minimal structural requirements. Features such as compact footprint, custom finishes, fast installation and compliance with UK safety standards make them ideal for modern business premises.
A well-positioned platform lift can boost retail footfall by up to 20%. At Alliance Platform Lifts, we install commercial lifts that are functional and practical for marketable properties. Each lift is designed to meet compliance standards while delivering silent operation, compact footprints, and fast installation.
All lifts are built for quiet performance and minimal disruption during installation. Whether you’re upgrading a boutique hotel, fitting out an office, or improving access in a retail space, our solutions are engineered for reliability, speed, and long-term value.
