Tower Lifts, A Platform Lift Company in London Completes Installation for £36 Million Leisure and Housing Complex

Earlier this year Tower Lifts won the contract to install two passenger lifts in a fascinating historic building in London’s East End. The Poplar Bath House was constructed in 1852 for the princely sum of £10,000 and was intended to provide bathing facilities for the local population. Since then it has been a boxing ring, cinema and theatre before finally closing its doors in 1988.

Currently it is being transformed into a leisure centre and housing complex incorporating a swimming pool and gym. In addition to the passenger lift installation, Tower Lifts has also installed a platform lift offering enhanced access to the full range of leisure activities.

Platform Lift Solutions for Historic Buildings

Platform Lift Company in London

Tower Lifts has a reputation for providing innovative platform lift solutions for heritage buildings

Poplar Baths is a Grade II listed building which means that there are strict guidelines as to the range of structural alterations that can take place. The two passenger lifts installed by the Tower Lifts team required a pitless solution as the building had insufficient space for a lift shaft. Our platform lift solutions enhance access for visitors or staff with visual or physical disabilities. The platform lift is large enough to take a wheelchair, can be designed to accommodate standard or curved stairways, and provides an elegant and efficient alternative to stairs or steps in historic buildings.

Platform Lift Regulations

Safety sits at the heart of everything we do; our aim when installing lifts is to align maximum accessibility, reliability and safety. At Tower Lifts our highly qualified staff teams are trained to understand and adhere to current platform lift regulations. We are fully compliant with the lift requirements stipulated by the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), and we are ISO9001:2008 Lift Cert. Customer satisfaction and peace of mind is what we have built our reputation on at Tower Lifts; passenger safety is the foundation stone to all the work we undertake.
