Introduction

Lifts are required in a great variety of settings and buildings. This has led to the need for installations that can be accommodated in environments that may have previously been unable to house a lift. The low pit lift acts as a solution to the problem of previously unsuitable locations, allowing for the installation of lifts in more settings.

Low Pit Lift Uses

The standard design of lifts requires a pit which allows space for the mechanical element of the installation. In the past, if a setting was unable to provide suitable space for a pit, the installation of the lift would not have been possible.

This inability to provide a pit may be likely in:

* [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Updating_Listed_Buildings Updates to listed buildings]
* Shopping centres
* Homes
* Public buildings
* Educational buildings

Therefore, a low pit lift or a pitless lift is able to provide the means for installation. This is particularly important as it can allow for improved disabled access in buildings which may have been impossible to navigate previously.

Limitations of Low Pit Lifts

While low pit lifts have a huge range of applications, it is worth noting that they are limited in the speed at which they can travel. The speed is limited to 0.15m/s according to a notified body certification.

Benefits of Low Pit Lifts

Low pit lifts have many benefits which have made them popular for a number of applications:

* Listed buildings often have plenty of rules and regulations to meet before they are able to make changes or updates to the building itself. This means that the excavation required for the installation of a regular lift may cause too much disruption to the original structure. However, a low pit lift can be installed with a pit as shallow as 120mm.
* The installation of a lift can often be disruptive, particularly during the pit excavation. This is significantly reduced when installing a pitless or low pit lift. For this reason, the low pit lift is often a popular choice for shopping centres and educational buildings, as disruption to business or learning is minimised.
* Lifts are often installed in homes, particularly when access is needed for an individual with mobility issues. Home installations are often restricted in terms of space, so a low pit lift can fit into a smaller space which may not be able to accommodate a standard lift.
