At Sheridan Lifts, we bring over 40 years of industry experience to every project. As a family run business based in the heart of Manchester, we combine traditional values with cutting edge technology to provide lift installation, maintenance, and repair services across the UK.

Passenger Lifts: Accessibility Meets Design

In contemporary commercial and domestic developments, passenger lifts represent a critical infrastructure component, underpinning both building accessibility and operational efficiency. We can tailor every design to the needs of your business, from sleek glass installations found in the hospitality sectors to a robust hydraulic system for an apartment block.  

  • Diverse Options: Choose from hydraulic, traction, or scenic glass lifts.
  • Compliance: Ensure all installations are fully compliant with Part M of the Building Regulations.
  • Turnkey Service: A trusted lift partner should handle everything, from initial design and lift removal to final installation and ongoing 24/7 emergency repairs.

 

Scenic and Glass Lifts: Making a Statement

Sometimes, a lift is more than a utility, it’s an architectural feature. Scenic lifts allow users to enjoy 360-degree views, turning a simple journey into a high quality experience.

  • Architectural Integration: Glass lifts blend seamlessly into public lobbies without disrupting the natural light or structure.
  • Visitor Attractions: In tourist hotspots or high end retail, a unique panoramic lift can become a landmark, boosting your building’s profile.
  • Styles: We offer curved glass, glass bottomed, and multi sided panoramic designs.

Service and Dumbwaiter Lifts: Boosting Business Efficiency

For the hospitality, healthcare, and retail sectors, efficiency is measured in seconds. Service and Dumbwaiter lifts help your staff meet manual handling regulations while speeding up operations.

  • Dumbwaiters (Food Lifts): Ideal for restaurants and hotels to transport plates and small goods between floors safely.
  • Trolley & Goods Lifts: Larger scale solutions for warehouses and hospitals to move heavy pallets or medical equipment.
  • The Benefit: Installing a service lift reduces the risk of workplace injury and allows your team to focus on customer service rather than climbing stairs.

 

Car Lifts: Maximising Urban Space

As urban space becomes more expensive, car lifts offer an innovative solution for multi storey parking and residential driveways.

  • Increased Capacity: Use over ground or underground stackers to double your parking space without expanding your building’s footprint.
  • Residential Luxury: A car lift can significantly increase the value of a home, allowing for secure underground vehicle storage.
  • Types: We install everything from man on board platform lifts to fully automated parking systems.

 

Energy Saving Lifts: Sustainable Lifting

We understand that modern businesses are committed to reducing their carbon footprint. Sheridan Lifts is proud to offer the most energy efficient installations on the UK market, meeting BREEAM standards with our energy saving lifts.

  • Significant Savings: Our eco friendly lifts can save you up to 30% on energy output compared to traditional models.
  • Green Features: Standby Mode: The lift “sleeps” when not in use.
    • Regenerative Drives: Energy created during travel is fed back into the building’s power grid.
    • LED Lighting: Long lasting, low energy illumination.

 

Bespoke Solutions: Your Vision, Our Engineering
