Two passenger lifts from Stannah were chosen to to bring freedom of access for people of all mobilities to International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC), Lincolnshire.

The passenger lifts must unite two floors of facilities, comprising Digital Archives, Losses Database, three Exhibition galleries, the Hub Café and Guided Tours, all set within 10 acres of Peace Gardens featuring a 31-metre Memorial Spire, Ribbon of Remembrance and Walls of Names.

Two Stannah 5-person platform passenger lifts, moving in formation over a distance of 3600mm, were chosen for this purpose.

The lifts also had to help the IBCC owners meet the requirements of The Equality Act 2010, Part M of the Building Regulations (England and Wales), and BS8300:2018 Code of Practice. CE marking and compliance with the latest Machinery Directive were also essential.

The lifts deliver freedom for all to access the world’s most comprehensive historic records of Bomber Command’s part in the Second World War – ensuring that generations to come can appreciate the contribution of the million people involved, notably the heroism of the 57,861 men and women who lost their lives.
