RVI Newcastle Phase One Complete
Recently Classic Lifts’ Northeast Branch put the final touches on the first phase of lift replacements completed on behalf of the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The first phase included the replacement of three lifts within the Leazes Wing of the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. Each of which are of the ‘Machine-above’ Traction lift variety, with a capacity of 28 persons (2100kg).
The lifts also include 21.5” Industrial screens supplied to us by our friends at Drucegrove. These screens give the lifts a modern feel and functionality which goes along with the robustness of the ‘Select Range’ Equipment we have supplied.
Classic Lifts is delighted to have delivered this first phase of installations on programme and is eagerly awaiting the start of the second phase of the project, where a further four lifts will be replaced within the same wing.
