It also solves the problem of affordability whilst being fully compliant with the code for sustainable homes and renewable energy generation.

"We pride ourselves on the diversity and reliability of our product range and the flexibility of our service".

The Independent Access Lift range comprises a total of six platform sizes, travel up to twelve metres and two platform rated load options, as well as numerous optional extras to help ensure that the installation looks and performs precisely according to the brief.
Comprehensive information on the range including data sheets and a brochure request facility is available on the company's website.
