Hill Farm Marina, just North of the historic market town of Stratford Upon Avon, is a stunning 50 berth marina in a rural setting on the South Stratford canal, a part of the well-known Avon Ring. The owners of the marina recently decided to develop a casual dining venue to complement the business, and so they converted a cattle and grain store into a stunning restaurant and meeting room called ‘The View.’
Working with DCA Projects Limited of Stratford Upon Avon, Invalifts were contacted to recommend and install a platform lift to allow access between the two floors.
After a site survey, Invalifts recommended their popular MC2000 platform lift. As the distance between floors was less than 3M the client was able to opt for a half height gate at the top landing rather than a full height door and frame. This was incredibly useful as the lift was located under a sloping ceiling and the headroom was reduced.
The lift has a compact footprint of 1250mm x 1560mm, giving a fully compliant Part M sized platform of 1120mm x 1480mm. The ground floor slab was formed to give a 60mm pit for the lift.
To maximise light within the lift shaft and to help blend in with the environment, the unit was supplied with glazed doors and a partially glazed shaft. Key locking was provided on the landing call buttons to enable control over the use of the lift, and an intercom was included as a means of emergency communication.
An end user basic service plan was provided for after sales support., Whilst the lift comes with a full parts and labour warranty for 12 months, and a 5 year parts warranty on the motor and gearbox plus a 10 year warranty on the drive chains.
