Passenger Lifts Specialists
Bespoke Passenger Lifts for Modern Architecture
A passenger lift should never be an afterthought – it’s integral part of your building’s transport infrastructure and its architecture. Many lifts simply offer function, but a bespoke lift does more; it enhances your building’s style, improves the user experience, and reflects the overall design vision. As passenger lifts specialists we don’t just move people between floors – we create a lasting impression of your design.
For over a decade, Tower Lifts has been working with architects and developers to design and install exceptional passenger lifts. We focus on creating lifts that are not only sustainable and flawlessly engineered but also become features of the spaces they inhabit.
What Do Passenger Lifts Specialists Do?
At Tower Lifts, we understand that no two lift installations are alike. Our experience has shown us that what may be considered a ‘standard’ installation is a rarity. With each new building comes a distinctive set of challenges, just as every business presents unique requirements for its office, retail space, or public building lift.
In navigating these challenges, the design team at Tower Lifts excels at overcoming restrictive site dimensions. Whether it’s a shallow pit, limited headroom, or unconventional space/shaft dimensions, we tailor our solutions to fit the architectural environment.
We pride ourselves on creating bespoke lift designs that align with the specific needs of a building’s operating environment. For example, the lifts we install in hospitals, schools, or heritage buildings, accommodate specific work practices, solve ongoing logistical problems, and provide an inclusive environment for employees.
Designing for Unique Environments
At Tower Lifts we design lifts that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also synonymous with safety, durability, and high performance. In order to achieve this, we can modify virtually any lift component as part of a bespoke lift design, including:
- Passenger Lift Sizes. Whether we’re designing private office lift or facilitating the vertical transport needs of a bustling hospital, our passenger lifts are bespoke to your precise requirements. We understand that size matters, and our lifts are tailored to fit seamlessly into any space, ensuring optimum functionality.
- Lift Mechanism and Performance. Consideration of operating conditions is paramount in our design process. We offer expert recommendations on hydraulic, traction, or pneumatic lift mechanisms, tailoring each solution to meet the specific demands of your project. The result is a lift that transports passengers efficiently and safely.
- Accessibility Expertise. Tower Lifts engineers design lifts that comply with The Equality Act (2010). We ensure that every passenger lift we design not only meets but exceeds the appropriate standards. Our aim is always to create an inclusive and user-friendly vertical transport experience.
- Enhanced Lift Security. Recognising the significance of security, we provide comprehensive solutions. Elevate your security measures with additional features such as lift sensors, alarms, card readers, biometric scanners, keypads, and CCTV systems. Your passengers’ safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.
- Passenger Cabin Design. The interior of your lift is more than just a functional space; it’s an integral part of the overall aesthetic. Our designers work closely with you to seamlessly match the cabin interior to the style of your building, ensuring a harmonious blend of form and function.
Elevate Your Perspective With Scenic Lifts
Our glass lifts redefine the concept of passenger movement, by blending practicality with panoramic vistas that transform vertical transport into a memorable journey.
Our glass lifts embrace transparency, offering passengers a 360° panorama. Whether it’s framing a building’s architecture or providing a unique vantage point of a cityscape or landscape, our lifts transform vertical movement into a visual feast for the eyes.

Our scenic glass lift installation at Kew Gardens, London, is an example this transformative power. It not only offers access to the renowned Treetop Walkway but also takes passengers on a journey through the tree canopy, to emerge above it.
FAQs – Partnering with a Passenger Lift Specialist

A standard passenger lift is an off-the-shelf product with limited options. Our specialist solution, however, is a consultative process. We tailor every aspect – from the drive system and door mechanisms to the car’s internal finishes and control systems – to meet the specific functional, stylistic, and performance requirements of your project.
Our project managers will be your single point of contact and are highly experienced in operating on active construction sites. They coordinate closely with your site manager to schedule deliveries and installation phases, ensuring our work is performed safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption to other trades.

We regularly integrate the latest accessibility technologies beyond standard compliance. This includes features like voice announcement systems, destination control systems that reduce waiting times, Braille-embossed buttons, and hearing loops. We can advise on the best solutions to make your building exceptionally welcoming for all users.
We prioritise proactive maintenance to prevent faults before they occur. Our service plans include regular, thorough inspections and servicing by qualified engineers. In the event of an issue, our dedicated repair teams will diagnose and resolve the problem promptly, ensuring we maximise uptime and maintain a consistency of service for the building’s users.
