Ideal for almost any environment, the Gartec PublicLift Access has proven popular in Sports and Leisure locations because of its versatility, including an indoor, outdoor and light goods option all offering straightforward and simple accessibility for customer access or for moving equipment and light goods.

In the Channel 4 program ‘How Disabled-friendly are High Street Gyms?’ with Comedian Joe Lycett, a number of gyms were secretly filmed, and concerns were raised over disabled people being placed at a disadvantage because of little or no accessibility, with stairs or non-active and broken lifts even with a comment stating that a particular gym had “not been designed for Disabled people”.

The Gym Group came out on top, with the Gartec PublicLift Access with full accessibility and of course fully working. The team at Gartec believe accessibility is for all and their lifts continue to open up possibilities for everyone at an affordable price with running costs of less than £25 per annum.

One of the benefits of choosing a Gartec platform lift, is that it can be easily slotted into a building even if at early stages a lift hasn’t been specified, because Gartec lifts do not require any separate machine rooms and take up very little space, with minimal building works. Furthermore, the efficiency and reliability of Gartec lifts are backed up by a network of UK Engineers who maintain and service lifts to ensure they are fully working.

The Gartec patented screw and nut drive system offers a safe, quiet and environmentally solution, with an easy user-experience by continuous pressure. Additionally, the Gartec PublicLift Access has been designed for a seamless finish and Gartec are proud to provide many access solutions requiring individual specifications, including matching lifts to branded colours, often providing platform lifts using the RAL colour matching process and so the lift can be easily matched to the project exactly.

The benefits of choosing the outdoor option include saving space in a location such as a City or a restricted location where space is at a premium, and additional features are also available for durability and to keep the lift in great condition in any weather.

Overall having a lift installed, the Gym group have led the way with their approach and Gartec are pleased to have been a part of it, supplying and maintaining the Gym groups accessible lifts.
