4 Stop Passenger Lift Installation for Swallow House, Kings Cross

When a building outgrows its existing vertical transport systems, what do you do? Scrap the whole thing and start again? Accept limited access for what it is and move on? Tower Lifts offers a third option, which is guaranteed more cost-effective and efficient than the alternatives.

We’re currently working on an ambitious project at Swallow House, Kings Cross, as part of the building’s major expansion and renovation works. The building is being extended an additional two floors above its previous height, which will require full lift access.

The Tower Lifts team was challenged with taking the existing lift system and extending its reach, in order to cover a further two floors along with its current four stops. Hired on the back of our experience, expertise and reputation, our creative lift solutions are ideal for complex jobs like these.

Innovative Lifts for All Properties

What sets Tower Lifts apart from others in our field is our ‘can do’ approach to every job we take on. The way we see it, no challenge is impossible with a creative and thoughtful approach. Where others would be unable to get the job done, we thrive on the opportunity to put our skills and talents to the test. In the case of Swallow House, we knew the moment we were contacted that this job had our names written all over it!

Where space is limited and conditions are non-typical, this is where we thrive. Our initial inspection of Swallow House brought to light a number of potential complications and challenges, though none that weren’t comfortably within our capabilities. Having tackled so many complex and demanding lift modification projects over the past 15 years, we were in our element from day one.

By taking a dynamic, fully bespoke approach to lift design and installation, nothing is off the cards. If you’re told a job is simply impossible elsewhere, contact the Tower Lifts team to find out what we can do for you.

What Should I Consider When Choosing A Lift?

What Should I Consider When Choosing A Lift?

Identifying the requirement for a vertical transport system is just the first of many steps in lift design and installation. Providing seamless access to upper and lower floors with a capable lift means first taking into account a series of consideration.

Here at Tower Lifts, we can provide you with our full support when determining the ideal lift system for your building.With our help, your property will benefit from a reliable and efficient lift, designed and installed in accordance with the following:

Building Requirements

The most immediate point of importance to consider is the practical requirement of your building. For example, you’ll need to think carefully about:

How much space there is for a lift to be installed
The number of floors to be served and required stops
If there is sufficient headroom and pit depth for a lift
Where in the building the lift should be located

As lifts are installed to serve purely practical purposes, it’s the practical aspect of your building’s requirements that should be given priority.

Aesthetic Preferences

Following the initial practical considerations, you can begin thinking about the visual styling of your lift. Contemporary lifts can be styled to suit just about any type of interior imaginable.

Consider what would be the best fit for your current interiors, taking inspiration from similar buildings if necessary.

Restrictions and Regulations

It’s also important to note that there may be certain restrictions and regulations imposed on the building. Particularly in the case of historic and listed buildings, or structures not typically suited to traditional lift installation.

If unsure, it’s advisable to discuss restrictions and regulations with the experts, before taking your plans any further. The specifics of the building regulations could affect which lift types are permitted or otherwise.

Passengers and/or Goods

Another important consideration is that of what exactly the lift will be used for. Lifts can be used solely for transporting passengers, for moving products and general items between floors and in mixed-use environments alike. The primary purpose of your lift will determine its appropriate shape, size and capacity.

Flow of traffic also factors into this consideration. For example, how many passengers will be using your lift at a time? Will the lift be in use 24/7, or for specific hours daily? All such factors will significantly affect what does and doesn’t represent a suitable lift for your premises.

For any residential or commercial setting, speak to our team today on 01525 601099.

Available Budget

Last up, your available budget will have a marked impact on the viability of the available lift systems for your building. Cost-effectiveness and value for money should be considered carefully, along with visual styling, additional lift features and so on.

Lift Installation at Selfridges Food Hall

Lift Installation at Selfridges Food Hall

It’s always exciting to be working in an iconic building or location, and Selfridges Food Hall certainly provided a memorable context for our dual adjacent, 3 stop passenger and goods lift installation. Selfridges had asked us to provide vertical transport which would connect the loading bay where fresh and packaged goods are delivered, the fresh food preparation area, and the dazzling Food Hall. We fitted a duplex lift with an upper weight limit of 2000kg, capable of providing reliable and smooth transport for both goods and staff members. The lift is now fully operational, and it fills us with pride to think that we have aided the elegant service and efficiency which characterises this brand.

Working with A High-End Brand Brings Responsibility
The recently completed goods and passenger lift is the third installation we have had commissioned by Selfridges, and in each case we have taken our responsibility as representatives of the values of their brand extremely seriously. The Selfridge founder, Harry Gordon Selfridge, had a vision of shopping as an extraordinary experience – rather than a mundane daily activity. Powerful brands translate their values into every aspect of their marketing, processes and operations, and Selfridges is no different. Our professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for the daily schedules and routines which make Selfridges a unique shopping experience, were key to developing our ongoing relationship with the store.

Its not just our Lift Installations – Tower Lifts Provide a Wealth of Experience

Our highly skilled lift designers and installers have accumulated a wealth of experience over the past fifteen years, in a variety of locations with competing demands and numerous challenges. We have provided vertical transport in heritage properties, homes, schools, art galleries, leisure centres, shops and car parks; each one of these environments requiring a distinct approach, sensitivity and awareness of unique problems to be overcome. We have now come to relish the new and the unexpected, and we know for certain that no lift installation is standard – especially if it’s Selfridges!

In addition to our passenger and goods lifts, we can also install a variety of lifts in bespoke configurations, throughout London and the UK including:

Dometic Lifts • Food Lifts • Service Lifts • Step Lifts • Goods Lifts • Scenic Lifts • Heavy Duty / Car Lifts • Low Pit / Pitless Lifts • Passenger Lifts • Dumbwaiter Lifts • MRL Lifts • Fire Evac lifts • Residential Lifts • Bespoke Platform Lifts
