Helping business move goods and people quickly and safely in the UK

Niche passenger lifts are available in a range of sizes, and due to them only requiring a minimal pit they can be easily installed with only limited builder’s work. In environments where space may also be tight, a Niche platform passenger lift is often the best solution, requiring a much smaller footprint than a traditional lift.
