Challenge us!
At Stannah we love a challenge: an out-of-the-ordinary request to provide lifts that
solve problems, enhance buildings and above all provide safe, reliable, stylish
travel for every passenger.

Our passenger lifts provide access in some of the
most surprising places: in cathedrals, on bridges,
in stadia, in airports and railway stations, to name
but a few. Blending new equipment into heritage
sites is a challenge we always enjoy. Wherever
we work, we take care – in all our processes, our
transport, on site, our people and the environment.
Our design engineers relish lifts in unusual places
and are on hand to work with our customers to
develop creative but practical solutions that enhance
their surroundings.
We take pride in every installation; after all, every
one of our products bears our family name.
Challenge us to exceed your expectations.

 Total capability
Our capability may surprise you… Stannah can supply small lifts for
low-rise buildings but we can also supply every type and style of
passenger lift right up to high-rise, high-speed lifts for iconic buildings.

We like to think of our passenger lifts as one branch of our lift family.
It means each element displays our qualities of safety, reliability, great
design, advanced technology and high performance but also that you can
source all your lifting products from one supplier.

Breadth of our passenger lift range

• We can supply lifts for 4-46 persons and up to 3500kg
Take a look at just a few of our
• Travel up to 48 floors and up to 3.0 m/s but typically thousands of passenger lift
most of our installations require up to 16 stops and installations across a wide
up to 2.0 m/s range of market sectors.
• Entrances can be single, through or adjacent
• We supply motor room-less traction lifts, lifts with
traditional motor rooms, lifts with motor room
cabinets for sites with restricted space, and hydraulic
lifts too
• Wall-mounted or structure-supported

Each one of our passenger lifts can be supplied either

individually, or as one of multiple passenger lifts
across major developments, ensuring each one is
suited to its travel, traffic and situation – with finishes
to suit.

Top-class energy efficiency and ride comfort

Each component of our passenger lifts is calculated
to contribute to the lift’s overall energy efficiency,
ensure minimal environmental impact and designed
to deliver ride comfort year after year. We can provide
energy calculations, lifts with A-rated energy efficiency
certification in accordance with VDI 4707 or to meet
the BREEAM credit requirements. The result? A range
of eco-efficient lifts that are designed to add real value
to your building and score on comfort, safety and looks.

 Lifts for special places

We think every lift we install is in a special place, however some sites do

have special requirements – and we know we have all the answers.

Our unique FX structure

If your project struggles to accommodate a conventional lift
shaft, or structural loadings are likely to be a problem, then
we can provide an alternative solution. Our steel lift frame
is designed to give ultimate flexibility and reduces both
building time and costs. With thousands of FX structures
installed, this proven technology is particularly well suited
for modular build and timber-framed buildings.

Tough finish, vandal-resistant lifts

Designed for tough environments and truly standing the
test of time, our durable and vandal-resistant finishes are
ideal for Category 1 and 2 vandal-resistant specifications,
or goods/passenger applications. These hardy workhorses
are suited to infrastructure environments where human
traffic is constant; hospitals where beds and goods are
moved frequently; and housing blocks where constant use
needs resilient lift cars to meet the demands, day and night.

Firefighting and evacuation lifts

We help to provide constant peace of mind in medium to
high-rise buildings. Our fire-fighting lifts mean firefighters
can access all areas and our evacuation lifts ensure there
is a means of escape for building occupants if the worst
should happen.

Whatever your requirements, you can rely on Stannah

lifts to provide the answers.

can be tailored to the style of your building.

Bespoke lift finishes

Looking for something a little different? No problem
at all! We are very proud of our ability to work closely
with our clients to achieve their vision. We have
supplied and installed lifts in all sorts of buildings that
have required a high degree of sensitivity and a truly
impressive finish.

We can work with you to deliver the look you are after
or, alternatively, we can provide a bare lift car ready for
fitting out by other contractors.

Whether it’s a modern statement or a heritage period

interior, we provide lifts that enhance their setting and
perform superbly.

 Lift selection guide

Choosing the correct lift for your needs is no small task, so we recommend that you
contact us to discuss your requirements and guide your choice. However, this guide
will give you a general overview of the choices available.

1 Lift capacity
In order to select the right lift car size for your needs, we suggest that the primary consideration is what the lift is to be used for:

High capacity, heavy usage? Shopping trolleys or baggage? Demanding environments? Multiple lifts required?

Displayed here are our most commonly specified lift sizes, but this does not represent the full range of what we can offer – we are
very happy to work with you to provide a lift tailored to your exact requirements.

require a larger lift shaft in some instances.

 Engineering excellence for over 150 years

In 1867, Joseph Stannah began engineering lifts and cranes for London’s
dock yards. Five generations on, this family-owned, British business still uses
its expertise to keep people and goods moving, and remains committed to
Joseph’s values of quality and integrity.

Whether it’s a lift at the station or an escalator at the airport, a dumbwaiter at the coffee shop or a
platform lift at the library, a moving walkway at the supermarket or a goods lift at the pub, a homelift
or stairlift at home – we are there quietly helping life happen.

A lot has happened since Joseph founded the business – yet some things, like making life easier and
more fulfilling for people, remain unchanged.

Dedicated to upholding the highest standards

Of course, every one of our lifts and internal processes has
satisfied and, more often, surpassed every relevant quality
and safety standard in our industry. We will always supply
a quality product that is both reliable and affordable.
Safety is our number one priority and this is reflected in
our nine consecutive health and safety awards from the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

By continually investing in our systems and our greatest

asset, our people, we can deliver excellence in all areas
of our business.

Our nationwide post-installation local service is delivered

by our own highly trained lift engineers from eleven
different locations across the UK. They can help all our
customers with their responsibilities as lift owners/
managers and can advise on all the latest guidance to
guarantee the safety of their equipment. Stannah also
look after all types of lifts from all manufacturers.
