WHEN LARGE SINGLE TIER OR MULTI-TIER FLOORS ARE INSTALLED BY ACTIVE SUPPLY & DESIGN, WE WOULD ALWAYS CONSIDER RECOMMENDING THE INSTALLATION OF A LIFT

Whether this is a "goods only" lift or whether it is a "good and passenger lift" depends on a number of factors such as the size of the lettable area and budget and you may want to consider either of these as part of yourself storage facility design.

GOODS LIFTS

These can be installed without the need to dig a pit and their inclusion does not require expensive fire rated shafts as occupants are not allowed in the lift car itself. Staircases should always be located near to goods lifts to enable straight forward usage of the service.

GOODS AND PASSENGER LIFTS

These are more complex installations, requiring a lift pit, motor room and lift shaft. Passenger lifts do, however, enable easier access to upper floors for self-storage users and although their cost is far more than that of a goods lift; the benefits areself evident.

Which ever option is agreed, Active Supply & Design can liaise with the appropriate lift manufacturers on your behalf to ensure that the specification, dimensions and working drawings are all in accordance with your expectations. Within our electrical package, we can also ensure that the necessary power supplies are installed for the lifts usage.
