Rising into the clouds some 3559 feet at the top of Mount Snowdon, Wales, the Summit Centre required a short travel lift in a corner space for less able visitors -

Requirements for the project were:

800mm travel & small footprint

Reliable, low maintenance lift

Doors on opposite sides

High capacity for wheelchairs

Removal of damaged old lift

Knowsley Lift Services rose to the challenge and installed a 7000 Aritco Platform Lift.

The 7000 platform lift was ideal, with a 410kg limit and wheelchair platform sizes without a large footprint.

The modular parts were ideal for lightweight transport to the top of the Mountain.

The removal and installation were simple, and the lift was in, on and ready to use in just 2 days.

The ceiling was raised slightly and the original pit widened, but all went smoothly.

A bold red finish makes a statement next to the railway stop and fits the small alcove space perfectly. Reliability was priority as getting to the summit for repairs would take longer than normal.

The low maintenance requirement and simple drive system was ideal.

Key Features of the lift.

Small pit & tiny footprint

Modular system with shaft

Easy maintenance and warranty

Durable and hard wearing

No head fixing or machine room
