Case study Asprey’s save space with incline platform lift

Asprey’s save space with incline platform lift

Asprey, the British luxury lifestyle house, chose the EquiLift Tangent wheelchair lift in the refurbishment of its magnificent flagship store, at 167 New Bond Street in London. The 20,000 sq ft store has been the home of Asprey since 1847. The design, by Lord Foster took two years to complete.

The dramatically revamped store comprises of several historically significant listed buildings which can often make wheelchair access to these types of buildings difficult.

To overcome one particular disabled access problem within the office area, Asprey have chosen to install two EquiLift Tangent incline platform lifts: The space saving Tangent lifting platform is fitted to the stair tread or wall and offers the perfect solution for straight staircases inside or outside of the building. Tangent is fully automated and easy to operate, when required, the user simply depresses the lift call button, which opens the platform for the user to board. Once the user has disembarked the wheelchair lift is folded away so that it does not restrict access for other people wishing to use the staircase.
