Custom-designed luxury car lift in central London

Luxury car lift

Design and manufacture a large-capacity lift for the transport of top-of-the-range luxury cars inside an existing building in central London.

Our client made it clear that, given the characteristics of the building concerned, which is located in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the British capital and whose residents expect only the very highest standards, and given the fact that the lift would be used to carry high-security armoured Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, we would have to design a made-to-measure lift system which was very robust, was equipped with a range of special features and provided a smooth and comfortable ride in accordance with the particular needs and expectations of their clientele.

IMEM’s engineering and R&D departments set about studying the particular site conditions and the specifications requested by our client with the aim of producing the best possible solution for the job in hand.

Large cabin

The extra-large lift car is equipped with two operating panels and strip switches in a selection of colours which are mounted on the side walls and can be operated by the vehicle driver irrespective of his precise parking position inside the lift car.



Remote controls

Remote controls are included for driver/passenger convenience, allowing the lift to be called without leaving the vehicle.



Traffic-light system

The external doors are equipped with a traffic-light system which informs the waiting driver of the lift car’s availability, a green light indicating that the car is free and a red light indicating that the car is currently occupied by another vehicle.

Visual signal system

The car lift is equipped with a visual signal system to ensure the correct positioning of the vehicle within. Two photoelectric light curtains detect the vehicle’s position and one of the two arrows on the operating panel lights up according to whether the driver should move forwards or backwards to position the vehicle correctly and avoid interfering with the opening and closing of the automatic doors.
