Modernisation packages for Chain Lifts help beat the Credit Crunch
The uncertainties of the current economic climate mean many of our customers are finding the prospect of a large capital outlay for lifting equipment daunting, and the option to spread payments over a longer term is much more feasible. With this in mind we are able to offer rental options on new lifts , modernisation packages , access and lifting equipment .
In addition we have developed both standard and luxury modernisation packages for Chain Lifts . Package options range from just the replacement of the control and drive equipment, up to the full lift modernisation of the whole lift including the re-lining of the lift car. Full modernisations on our rental terms are available from as little as £157.00 per week.

Lifts What not to buy - The Life Time Cost
A few questions at the beginning when you are considering either a new lift or a major modernisation could save you a small fortune in the long run.
Until recently new lifts in a typical care home were all of a similar design and generally speaking could be maintained by any suitably qualified and trained lift engineer. This has had the effect of keeping service very competitively priced.
Real problems lie in the fact the some lift companies are now installing control panels which have coded access only and unless the engineer has special tools (which the manufacturers will not supply to other service companies) you will only be able to use the lift manufacturer’s service company for service and repair.
Knowing that they have a monopoly on the servicing of your lift makes the cost of service shoot up.
