Gartec has provided its Aritco 9000 enclosed cabin lift for a H&M store in Rugby. The store had an access issue up to a mezzanine second floor. As a high footfall shop, it was important that 2 lifts were put into the store quickly without disrupting business.

Whilst space was limited, an area was free which backed onto the staircase. The lift needed to fit the image of the store, whilst providing a facility that customers would feel safe and accustomed to.

The Aritco 9000 imitates a conventional lift, with single touch buttons and a car lift enclosure. The range of colours and finishes meant the style of the shop was imitated at both landings. Brushed stainless steel controls and white cladding was chosen. After adding the H&M lift graphics above the doors, the look was complete. The space worked perfectly for the double bank of lifts, which are constantly in use.

Emily, the Store Administrator, said: "Allowing all customers to access the mezzanine is fantastic, and it’s great for prams as well as wheelchairs. It looks and feels just like a normal lift”
