7-Stop 13-Person Passenger Lift Install for Cambridge Heath in Hackney


Strategic Passenger Lift Installation – A 7-Stop Solution for Hackney Developers

As a London developer, your choice of vertical transport is critical to the building’s efficiency, user experience, and long-term asset value. At Tower Lifts, we have spent over a decade refining the design and installation of passenger lifts across our capital city.

Our recent project – a 7-stop 13 person passenger lift install for Cambridge Heath in Hackney, exemplifies how a high-capacity, multi-stop system can be seamlessly integrated into a fast-paced urban development.


The Requirement – High Capacity Meets Multi-Floor Efficiency

For this project in the heart of Hackney, our brief called for a durable, high-performance vertical transport solution capable of serving a seven-storey structure. In dense London districts like Cambridge Heath, maximising internal footprint while ensuring rapid passenger flow is a constant challenge for developers.

The solution was a bespoke 13 person passenger lift install, designed to handle the heavy footfall of a modern multi-occupancy building. A 13-person capacity (approximately 1,000kg) isn’t just about numbers – it also guarantees that the building remains accessible for wheelchair users and residents with pushchairs or bulky items to transport. The task was to future-proof the property for a diverse range of tenants.

Design and Engineering – 7-Stop Precision

Navigating a seven-stop installation requires careful planning at the design stage. Our team worked closely with the project architects to ensure that the lift shaft and machinery were optimised for the Hackney site’s specific constraints.

Key Technical Features of the Hackney Install:

  • 7-Stop Coverage – Ensuring smooth, rapid transitions between all floors, including lower-level access.
  • 13 Person Capacity – Delivering high-volume transport to minimise wait times during peak periods.
  • Bespoke Cabin Aesthetics – The interior was finished with durable, high-specification materials that reflect the architectural identity of the Cambridge Heath residential development.
  • Full Regulatory Compliance – As with all Tower Lifts projects, this installation meets all current UK safety standards and accessibility requirements (Equality Act 2010).

Why London Expertise Matters For London Developers

Working with a London-based lift specialist who understands local building regulations and the logistical complexity of East London is a significant advantage. Our team managed the entire lifecycle of the Hackney project – from initial design and derogation through to the final commissioning and handover.

By delivering a 7-stop system that combines reliability with aesthetic appeal, we provided the developer with a tangible increase in property desirability. A high-spec 13-person lift is a strong selling point for premium office spaces or residential units, signalling quality and attention to detail to prospective occupiers.

Our deep understanding of local building regulations is further demonstrated in our work on other local landmarks, such as this recent installation of two passenger lifts for a Hackney hotel.


High-Capacity Lift Systems – FAQs

As a specialist partner, Tower Lifts provides the technical authority needed to mitigate risk and ensure a smooth installation. Here are the critical factors to consider for your next Hackney or City-based project.

London’s architecture and regulations are unique. Our decade-plus experience in the capital means we understand local site constraints, BREEAM requirements, and the specific expectations of London developers, ensuring a more responsive and knowledgeable service.

Yes. We offer a large range of finishes – from architectural metals to bespoke lighting and flooring – so your lift becomes a seamless extension of your building’s style and identity.

Our bespoke approach allows for greater flexibility. Because we design from scratch, we can often adapt the lift engineering to accommodate minor structural variances discovered during the construction phase, keeping the project on track.

A 13-person (1,000kg) lift is the optimal technical spec for modern multi-occupancy buildings. It improves passenger flow during peak hours and ensures full compliance with Part M of the Building Regulations, making your property more attractive to premium commercial and residential tenants.
