Lifts for Public Buildings


Comprehensive Lift Solutions For Public Buildings

The city is always on the move, which means that seamless and dependable accessibility within public buildings is of prime importance. At Tower Lifts, we specialise in the design and installation of lifts for public buildings such as offices, shopping centres, civic centres, and leisure facilities. We guarantee robust, reliable, and safe lift solutions that comply fully with the Equality Act 2010, ensuring full accessibility for all.


Since we began in 2006, Tower Lifts has been a trusted partner in the realisation of public lift projects, working closely with architects and building developers. Our comprehensive service package encompasses every aspect of the project, from initial design through to efficient project management and seamless installation.

Our lifts are engineered to excel in high-traffic public spaces, delivering the performance, durability, and quality essential for the everyday operation of your lift. We understand the critical role that lifts play in the functionality and accessibility of modern public buildings, and we take pride in delivering solutions that prioritise safety and security.

Lifts for Limited Space, and Low Headroom

Low pit and low headroom lifts are essential in various scenarios where traditional lift installation is constrained by limited space. Whether access is restricted, there’s a narrow lift shaft, or space is scarce due to architectural considerations, Tower Lifts designers and installers have the expertise to address these challenges without compromising on accessibility, performance, or design.

Our proficiency in designing and installing low pit and low headroom lifts is particularly beneficial in the following scenarios:

  • Commercial Spaces. Many commercial buildings, especially older structures, or those with architectural constraints, face spatial limitations. The installation of a conventional lift may become impractical due to the substantial pit depth and headroom requirements. Tower Lifts offers innovative solutions that maximise space efficiency without compromising on lift performance.
  • Historical Buildings. Preserving the historical authenticity and structural integrity of a building is of paramount importance. This often necessitates adhering to strict space limitations. Our low pit and low headroom lifts seamlessly integrate with historical settings, allowing for both modern accessibility and historical preservation.
  • Accessibility Upgrades. In the process of enhancing accessibility within existing buildings, minimising the lift’s footprint is a critical consideration. Low pit and low headroom lifts serve as an ideal solution for ensuring unobtrusive installation while significantly improving accessibility for all occupants.

Transforming Architectural Visions into Reality

Public buildings serve a diverse range of people, and their design plays a crucial role in shaping the overall experience. At Tower Lifts, we pride ourselves on our ability to align our expertise with the creative visions of architects and developers while remaining sensitive to the historical context of the buildings we work in.

Preserving Aesthetic Integrity. Take Irene House in Balham, London, for example. Here, we created a passenger lift that seamlessly integrated with the building’s stunning Art Deco design. Our commitment to preserving and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of historic structures is unwavering.

Efficient Goods Movement. In cases where lifts are needed for the transportation of goods rather than people, we offer robust service lifts capable of handling a wide array of items, from food to laundry to goods with individuals in attendance. Our portfolio includes the installation of numerous dumbwaiter lifts in restaurants across major cities and the provision of goods lifts for Selfridges in London.

Elevating Experience. If you’re seeking a lift solution that makes a bold statement, look no further. Tower Lifts is your trusted partner for scenic lifts, such as our recent installation of a striking glass lift for the Treetop Walkway at Kew Gardens. Moreover, our bespoke passenger lift at Glyndebourne perfectly mirrors the uniqueness of this remarkable venue, offering an experience that’s as exceptional as the location itself.

When it comes to lifts for public buildings, Tower Lifts combines innovation, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for architectural beauty to deliver solutions that go beyond mere functionality—they enhance the very essence of the spaces they occupy.

Refurbishment & Modernisation Services

In some instances, a legacy lift can be an integral part of a building’s historic character. Instead of opting for a replacement, you may wish to consider retaining and refurbishing it.

At Tower Lifts, our modernisation services are designed to breathe new life into old lifts, ensuring not only enhanced performance for passengers but also full compliance with safety standards. The end result is a lift that exudes both inner and outer beauty, seamlessly blending with its historical surroundings.


Our Commitment to Excellence.

The Tower Lifts team is made up of factory-trained engineers who have the knowledge and expertise to work with any brand of lift. This ensures that our modernisation services are not only comprehensive but also compatible with a wide range of lift systems. We take pride in delivering reliable servicing, maintenance, and repair solutions for lifts in public buildings throughout the UK.

As an ISO9001:2015 Lift Cert and UKAS approved company, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and excellence, consistently meeting all Lift Regulations.
