Post-Installation Care for Commercial Platform Lifts
A successful commercial platform lift installation is just the beginning. To ensure your lift remains safe and reliable for many years to come, itβs essential to follow proper care practices. Whether youβve purchased one of our bespoke commercial lifts or a standard model, Invalifts offers expert support and tailored servicing to keep your lift performing at its best, long after the installation team has left.
What to Expect After Your Platform Lift Installation
Once your commercial platform lift has been installed, we ensure everything is fully operational and compliant before handover. Our experienced engineers carry out final safety checks and run through essential performance testing to confirm that your lift meets the latest UK regulations.
Youβll also receive the relevant certification and documentation, giving you peace of mind that your lift is safe and ready for use. As part of the handover, our team will provide on-site training for staff or facility managers β covering basic lift operation, key safety features, and what to do in the event of an emergency.
We make sure you know exactly how your new lift functions from day one. Whether youβve chosen a lift for a retail unit, school, hospital or office space, our team ensures the transition from installation to day-to-day use is smooth, simple, and stress-free.
