Follow on Google News | Disabled Access a Priority for Vale FurnishersA movemanSKG platform lift allows less able customers at Vale Furnishers to move independently around the building, and means the company remains Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant.
By: movemanSKG Established nearly fifty years ago, Vale Furnishers supplies products that make homes comfortable; Disabled access is a top priority at Vale Furnishers. Director Mark Chandler explains; “There are over ten million less able adults in the UK, many of who shop at our store. So making the premises accessible to them is not just ethical, it makes good business sense. As a retailer, Vale Furnishers is also subject to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).” People with mobility impairments reach the first floor of Vale Furnishers’ store using an existing passenger lift. From here, they can access the second floor via the two-stop Prestige, which has a platform big enough to accommodate a wheelchair user plus a carer. Vale Furnishers’ Prestige lifts 400kg nearly three metres. It features fire doors, which resist intense heat for up to an hour, and user-friendly controls positioned at a convenient height for wheelchair users. The lift resides in a shallow pit to sit flush with the floor surface, eliminating the need for a ramp. Mark continued; “We chose movemanSKG above other platform lift suppliers because it offered good value for money. Prestige gets regular use at our store and performs reliably. It incorporates a range of safety devices, including interlocks that prevent people opening the doors while the platform is in motion. I recommend Prestige highly!” # # # movemanSKG is a supplier of specialist lifts. It supplies platform lifts and service lifts for industrial and commercial application. These include schools and colleges, hotels and restaurants, shops, leisure centres, churches and libraries.
