The Stannah FX - Structure Supported lifts

FX simply means a Stannah lift supplied in its own structure to fit anywhere within a building. No load bearing wall is needed - just a firm base, solid floor and headroom support. There is no need for a lifting beam - this is supplied on the structure which is assembled within the shaft. The FX can be installed into existing lift wells too. A structure supported lift is particularly useful in timber framed buildings where the walls may be unable to support a traditional shaft. See FX Case Study.

The advantage; reduction of building works required prior to installation, saving time and money with the additional benefit of ultimate flexibility in the location of the lift.

• Designed and manufactured by Stannah in the UK
• There is no need for inserts (unistruts) for fixing to be built by the builder, making it easier to build and saving cost.
• There are no load bearing walls to be built, making it easier and cheaper to build.
• Scaffolding is not needed (on most models) to erect the lift, saving substantial cost and disruption, with fewer people involved.
• There is no need to have a lifting beam built into the top of the lift shaft by the builder, saving money. Stannah supply this on the structure.
• There is no need to hire a structural engineer to test the lifting load of the lifting beam, saving cost.
• The structure is assembled within the lift shaft by Stannah.
• Can be installed into existing lift wells with minimal builders work.
• Simplifies building programme.
• No lintels or separate pit access ladder required.
