The Challenge

A West Yorkshire council required the full replacement of an ageing passenger lift within a busy public office building.

The existing lift had reached the end of its operational life, with increasing maintenance demands and reliability concerns. As a public-facing building used daily by staff and visitors, continuity of access and safety were critical.

The project was issued through a formal tender process. Curti Lifts were appointed to deliver a complete turnkey replacement within the existing shaft, meeting specification requirements while minimising disruption to day-to-day operations.

What We Delivered

A fully managed turnkey installation, coordinated from initial survey through to final handover.

Tender-led specification compliance
Detailed review of the client’s technical requirements, ensuring the proposed lift system met all operational and performance criteria.

Careful removal of the existing lift
Safe decommissioning and dismantling, with controlled access routes to maintain safety within the live building.

Installation of a new passenger lift system
A modern, high-spec lift built to the client’s specification and designed for long-term reliability in a public-sector environment.

Open-protocol system
Providing long-term flexibility and service transparency, avoiding dependency on proprietary restrictions.

Programme management within a live office environment
Works carefully phased to reduce disruption to staff and public access throughout the installation period.

Full commissioning and handover
Comprehensive testing and sign-off to ensure compliance, safety and operational readiness.

The Result

The council now benefits from a modern, reliable passenger lift that supports safe access across the building.

The installation met programme expectations and delivered a long-term solution aligned with public-sector standards. The open-protocol system ensures future flexibility, while improved reliability reduces ongoing maintenance pressures.
