Case StudY:FIRST BSI APPROVED VERTICAL LIFTING PLATFORM INSTALLED AT BIRMINGHAM'S REVOLUTIONARY ARTS AND MEDIA QUARTER.The UK's first BSI approved Vertical Lifting Platform, The EquiLift Vertex, has been installed within The Custard Factory, Birmingham's vibrant hub or arts and Media activity. The Custard Factory is a 5 acre site which was originally built as industrial factories by Sir Alfred Bird, the inventor of custard a hundred years ago. One of the bright young companies who have taken office space at the centre is Maverick TV. Maverick are proud of their commitment to their staff as well as giving opportunities to new talent. The company's Head Office, at the Custard Factory is housed on two levels. In order to make their premises accessible at all levels to all abilities the company has chosen to install the UK's only BSI Approved Vertical Lifting Platform, the Vertex from EquiLift. The Vertex links the lower level reception to the upper level office area. The Vertex has been designed and built in the UK by EquiLift, to meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (1995). The Vertex is built to the highest standards of quality, safety and reliability. As a testament to this the Vertex is the only Vertical Lifting Platform on the market that has been approved by the British Standard Institute. As standard the Vertex is fitted with soft start and stop to ensure an ultra smooth and quiet travel for passengers, whilst ensuring minimum disturbance to the working environment. Customers have a choice of colours and finishes available to them, so that it can match the surroundings where it is situated. |
