Lift Clean Down

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

We are now offering a full Lift Clean Down to help protect against Covid 19 as part of our lift maintenance schedule. We will be doing this free of charge for our existing customers, ensuring the lift interior, pushes and lift doors are cleaned with bacterial disinfectant. This will help to protect our customers against Coronavirus. We are proud that our industry has really stepped up to the mark with assisting customers for lift breakdowns, lift callouts and also ensuring the lift is safe for customers.

Hi Tec Lifts offer traditional lift maintenance and lift servicing nationwide that now includes Lift Clean Down to help protect against Coronavirus. We can offer preventative lift maintenance packages for all types of passenger lifts, goods lifts, platform lifts and access products. With over 30 years of experience, we have serviced and maintained all types of lift equipment throughout the UK. We have many lifts on service in the Midlands including:- Stoke, Newcastle, Stafford, Tamworth, Burton, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Leicester, Coventry and Wolverhampton.

Traditional lift maintenance allows our experienced lift engineers more time to look after your lifts on site. By offering the right lift service, our engineers can help cut down on call-outs, breakdowns and costs. By spending more time on an individual lift it allows our engineers to prevent issues happening in the future. We do not believe in giving our engineers huge rounds to complete each day as this can cut back on quality and time on site.

Our lift maintenance packages can be tailor made to suit clients requirements. We can offer standard contracts or comprehensive solutions for your lift servicing. However we like to take into consideration the type of equipment, usage, age and clients budgets before we agree the best way forward for you.

Please contact us if we can help at all for any lift repair work or lift modernisation work. You can get in touch by emailing us at or telephone us on: 01782 562000

Disabled Access Lifts for Offices

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

Hi-Tec Lifts pride themselves on offering disabled access lifts for end clients, architects and contractors. We often get involved early on projects to ensure that the right lift is selected for our customers.

On this particular project, we worked closely with the end client to ensure that the right disabled access lift was chosen. Whilst the 2 stop 410kg platform lift was only going up two floors and 3m, it did have a few special features. We needed to have front and side opening entrances to suit the building layout. The small recess of 50mm could not be cast, so we provided a ramp solution. Also due to the position of the installation and L bracket was required.

The platform lift was required as soon as possible as they did not know disabled access was required at the time. We have completed the project on time and in the current circumstances we think that is pretty good going.

All of our platform lifts and step lifts are open protocol which means that any company can service or repair our products in the future. We offer a large range of platform lifts and step lifts but also offer fully bespoke solutions from 250kg up to 1000kg.

Our platform lift range is fully compliant with European machine directive 2006/42/EC and is ideal where disabled access is required but space or budget restricts using a passenger lift. Our platform lift range offers our clients many features and benefits including:-

Platform Lift & Disabled Access for New Council Building

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

Hi-Tec Lifts have just secured a platform lift order for a local council. The council needed some help providing disabled access for some of their staff and guests in a new office building. The issue was that a lift shaft or pit could not be formed due to space restrictions on site. Also they needed adjacent and front entrances on the platform lift or it would not have fitted in with the building design. Following a meeting on site with the customer and a site survey from Hi-Tec, the solution was resolved. We are supplying a new 2 stop 410kg Platform Lift for them with side and front entrances that fits perfectly within the staircase design.

From order placement, we was in the manufacturing period within a couple of days. Our delivery time is less than 7 weeks and we anticipate getting the new platform lift installed in 2 to 3 days. So from order placement to handover in 8 weeks.

Our platform lift range is fully compliant with European machine directive 2006/42/EC and is ideal where disabled access is required but space or budget restricts using a passenger lift. Our platform lift range offers our clients many features and benefits including:-

  • No lift shaft required (comes with own enclosure and structure)
  • No lift pit required (ramp or 50mm recess)
  • Reduced headroom space (within normal ceiling space)
  • Smaller footprint than passenger lift products
  • Quick Delivery (6 weeks)
  • Quick Installation (2 to 3 days)
  • Quiet and energy efficient
  • Runs on single phase power only
  • Single touch controls on landings (continuous pressure in cabin)
  • Various platform sizes available to suit all projects
  • European machine directive 2006/42/EC compliance

We offer a proven screw and nut drive system that is completely self-contained, meaning machine rooms or extra space is not required. We have many years experience of supplying this platform lift range and still have many of our installations in our service portfolio in the Midlands and North West.

So if you have a project with a platform lift or step lift on then please contact us if we can help at all for any lift repair work or lift modernisation work. You can get in touch by emailing us at or telephone us on:

Platform Lift in Cheshire

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

Hi-Tec have just installed a 2 stop Platform Lift at a site in Cheshire. The new exciting sports facility needed disabled access on site. Due to restrictions with available space, lack of pit depth and headroom, we only had one alternative for the client.

We specified an Aritco Platform Lift which only needed a small recess (no pit), low headroom and no lift shaft. This excellent and reliable product gives our client the disabled access they required without huge building amendments needed.

the 2 stop 410kg Aritco Platform Lift was delivered in 6 weeks and installed in only two days on site. We worked closely with the local contractors who ensured all our items were done and ready for our start date. Having worked with the architects on this project early on, we ensured this was the right lift for the building usage. We always need to take into account budget on projects but also the potential building work and amendments clients need to do to accommodate a lift.

All of the access lifts that Hi-Tec Lifts supply in the UK are open protocol. We use the same lift partners to ensure that our installation and service teams know the product inside out.

Platform Lifts can be an excellent alternative to a passenger lift where clients need disabled access. Platform Lifts come with their own structure (no shaft needed), do not need a pit (ramp option) and the headroom fits within a normal ceiling height. This saves huge money for customers on shafts and pits, but also potential roof issues for the headroom.

Access lifts are also very easy and quick to install, with some projects completed in one day. The delivery is 6 to 8 weeks from order placement and approval.

So if Hi-Tec Lifts can help you with any new projects that require a platform lift, passenger lift or goods lift please get in touch. We have installed over 1000 lifts in the last 30 years, so have the knowledge and experience to deliver your project. We can assist with design, drawings, specifications and budget costs for all projects.
