Lift Installation Services

From the UK's tallest buildings to remote Highland hotels — comprehensive lift installation across every system type and OEM brand.

What We Install

Every installation we undertake reflects our core philosophy: lift installation is not construction — it is precision engineering.

High-Rise & Jumplift Installations

Our primary specialism. Installing lift systems in tall buildings presents unique engineering challenges — shaft alignment, guide rail precision, rope and tensioning systems, and multi-car coordination at extreme height. Our team has direct experience installing lifts in the UK's tallest buildings, including the 62-storey, 278m 22 Bishopsgate, where we delivered the high-rise jumplift installation as part of a 52-lift programme.

Double-Decker Lift Installations

Complex multi-car systems requiring exceptional technical coordination. Two separate car platforms within a single hoistway, with independent door systems, levelling requirements, and safety interlocks. This niche specialism is rare among independent installation companies and represents a significant competitive advantage.

MRL, Traction & Hydraulic Installations

Full installation capability across all major lift types. Machine Room-Less (MRL) systems including Otis Gen2-MRL with precise hoistway integration. Geared and gearless traction systems with rope installation, sheave alignment, and motor coupling. Hydraulic systems for low-rise applications with full cylinder and power unit installation.

Manufacturer-Specific Expertise

Deep, proven competence across the UK's most specified lift systems and specialist OEM equipment.

Otis Gen2 & Gen2-MRL

Deep expertise in Otis belt-drive systems — belt installation, tensioning, alignment, and MRL hoistway integration. Multiple installations across London and Scotland including Exchange Court, Gairloch Hotel, and 9 Barnton Avenue West.

Kleeman Systems

Qualified installation of Kleeman lift equipment with manufacturer-trained engineers. Full competence in proprietary components, control systems, and adjustment protocols ensuring warranty compliance.

Precision Across Every Phase

From initial site survey to final handover — every phase of the installation lifecycle delivered to manufacturer tolerances.

Shaft Setting-Out & Surveys

Comprehensive shaft surveying and setting-out to verify all dimensions, alignments, and structural elements conform to manufacturer specifications.

Guide Rail Installation

Precision guide rail installation for car and counterweight systems. Rails plumbed, paralleled, and aligned to manufacturer tolerances using precision measurement equipment.

Car Sling & Platform Assembly

Complete assembly of car sling frames, platform decking, structural supports, and safety gear mechanisms with verification of all safety clearances.

Door Installation & Levelling

Landing door and car door installation with precise levelling, operator setup, and safety edge configuration — sliding, telescopic, and centre-opening configurations.

Rope & Chain Installation

Full rope and chain installation for traction and hydraulic systems. Correct tensioning, alignment, and termination to manufacturer specifications.

Lift Modernisation

Pre-handover inspections, commissioning support, rectification works, and upgrade installations for existing systems. Final verification against EN 81-20/50.

Full-Scope Lift Services

Beyond installation — comprehensive support for every stage of your lift's lifecycle.

Lift Modernisation

Full modernisation of existing lift systems — control system upgrades, door replacements, drive system modernisation, and aesthetic refurbishment to extend operational life.

Decommissioning & Removal

Safe, compliant decommissioning and removal of obsolete lift systems. Full strip-out, waste disposal, and site restoration to prepare for new installations.

Installation Steel Works

Structural steel fabrication and installation for lift shafts, machine rooms, pit ladders, guide rail brackets, and division beams — fabricated and installed to structural specifications.
