Lift Products:

Northern Lifts supply, install, test, commission and CE Mark a complete range of passenger and goods lifts. Here you will find information on our range of lifts including:

Machine Roomless Lifts:

The Silens-Pro gearless machine is the latest development in permanent-magnet synchronous-traction motors for machine roomless lifts.

  • Operates at low revolutions - runs smoothly and silently.
  • Guide rails consist of self supporting structures that make additional interval fixing unecessary.
  • Eliminates the need for special building and civil engineering requirments.
  • Does not require a separate motor room.
  • Space saving, combines comfort and very low energy consumption and running costs.

With a capacity of up to 33 persons, speeds of up to 2.5 m/s, and travel up to 26 floors - Machine Roomless are a great choice of lifts.

The Silens-Pro Range: www.imem.com

We now include Fire Fighting and Evacuation lift specifications to EN81-72 utilising Machine Roomless technology.

Electric Traction Lifts:

Electric Traction Lifts have a capacity of up to 2500kgs with travelling speeds of up to 3.0 m/s and vertical travel of up to 40 floors. Because of this large capacity, electric traction lifts are ideal for heavy duty lift systems. The machinery for these lifts are contained in a separate plant room and they have a variety of applications including:

  • Heavy duty passenger lifts
  • Heavy duty goods lifts
  • Evacuation and Fire Fighting lifts

Custom Built Lifts:

All lift cars available in various interior finishes.

  • Wall panels: laminates, steel, wood.
  • Flooring: marble, granite and rubber.
  • Lighting: various.

We also provide custom built access lift platforms and home lifts, vehicle lifts for car and driver travel, and hospital lifts suitable for ICU, Stretchers and Beds.

Hydraulic Lifts:

Hydraulic Lifts are available for standard low cost and specialist installations with capacity of up to 4000 kgs. With speeds of up to 0.6 m/s and suitability for internal and external use hydraulic lifts are ideal for the following uses:

  • Passenger Lifts
  • Hospital Lifts
  • Goods Lifts
  • Vehicle Lifts
  • Scenic Lifts including all glass models.

Prefabricated Lift Shafts & Structures:

Northern Lifts have recently become the first lift installation company in Scotland to supply, install and test a number of 8 person - 630kg machine roomless passenger lifts in Corus bi-steel lift shafts.

The prefabricated lift shaft installation varies only slightly from a traditional build but the main advantages are accurate dimensions of the shaft +/- only a few millimeters, a clean wind and watertight environment allowing our engineers a trouble free  installation and ensuring any pre-finish snagging is kept to an absolute minimum.

Project: Flatted Development, Pollockshaws Road, Glasgow
Client: Westpoint Homes, Glasgow
Architects: Ross Woods Architects, Glasgow

Where building conditions prevent normal lift shaft construction, e.g. listing buildings, within stair wells and external positioning, a prefabricated self supporting structure can be supplied with or without cladding panels - glass or steel.

Refurbishment:

We offer a cost efficient solution for lift installations requiring upgrading and/or refurbishment. We undertake an initial site survey to establish the scope of works required. Thereafter a fully detailed report including a fixed price quotation will be provided. All refurbishing work is carried out in accordance with current legislation requirments.
