The 400-space car park for Chequers Court retail centre is part of £5m investment in the redevelopment of Huntingdon Town Centre.
Stannah Xtralifts 2.0 duplex stainless steel 21-person, stretcher passenger lifts were installed to offer access to all.
Located opposite the stairs, each 21-person passenger lift complements the light, spacious
design aesthetic whilst addressing the demanding environment:
The Stannah Xtralift’s oil- and vibration-free high-performance, gearless traction drive ensures a smooth ride.
Low noise, energy use and running costs are ideal for increased usage and higher travels.
Stannah worked with both the customer and project requirements, providing the supply and test of lifting beams and full depth landing architraves for additional robustness to the large passenger lifts.
Chris Allen, Projects & Assets Manager at Huntingdonshire District Council:
The Stannah Xtralifts represent excellent value for money and provide the heavy duty, high volume people movement needed in this distinctive, busy car park servicing the growing retail needs of Huntingdon town centre. Reassurance is part of the package with a 24-hour, 365-day after-care service courtesy of the local branch of Stannah Lift Services.
Installing, owning and operating a Stannah Xtralift helps to meet all building standards and regulations, including the requirements of the Equality Act 2010
