So please, if you have any questions, feel free to give us a ring and have a chat with us.

Our Companion lift selection ranges from the Premier, a foldable inclined platform lift designed to follow the incline of a rise of steps, to the Companion Prestige, this is the flagship of our range which can travel up to nine metres. Other interesting platform lifts that we supply include the Supreme, ideal for exterior applications and Excel, a scissor liftable that requires no external wall for support.

The DUC (Designated User Control) switch is an option for our Companion Prestige lift. When the lift has been left idle for a predetermined amount of time it will 'park' itself between landings. This means the landings doors lock preventing unauthorised access. This is particularly useful in schools to stop children using the lift as a hiding place.

Advanced communication devices can be installed into our platform lifts, this along with powered doors (standard on the Prestige lifts) make the lifts more accessible in certain environments. Lift colour and glazing of the shaft and doors are popular options for projects where aesthetics are important. Exterior clapping and fire resistant doors can also be added.

We offer a wide array of options for our platform lifts and they can be tailored to meet your exact requirements. Our clients are always impressed with the flexibility and versatility of our designs. For example we installed three platform lifts at The Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh, to coincide with the famous Fringe Festival that took place in August. This was a tight deadline to meet but the job was completed successfully.

Hutton and Read were the principle contractors who worked on the project and a spokesperson from the group commented on our performance:

"movemanSKG pulled out all the stops to complete the lift installation ready for the festival, despite only being called in at very short notice. They were professional and reliable at all stages of the project, and the platform lifts work efficiently. I would definitely use movemanSKG for future projects."
