Spread across 40 acres of rural countryside, Ashfield Academy is a secondary school with academy status located in Kirby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. Having already purchased a platform lift from Ability lifts back in 2005, when it came to looking for another platform lift for the expanding Ashfield Academy, Ability Lifts was the obvious first choice.
To provide access for all students from the ground to upper floors, the Optimum 100s platform lift was the perfect choice. After an initial site inspection, and meeting with the school, glazing was specified for the platform lift to offer an enhanced openess and additional natural light in the lift area.
For additional security and piece of mind, additional features such as school-locking at each landing, and a GSM auto dialler where also added to the Optimum 100s to build up a full package to cover all of the Academy’s requirements for the platform lift installation.
With the minimum of preparation work required by the school and an installation time of only two days for this two floor platform lift, the project was commissioned and handed over on time with staff training being completed as part of the installation handover procedure.
