Gartec Lifts - Platform Lift Maintenance and Servicing

How Installation Works

The Aritco HomeLift Access is designed for straightforward installation with minimal disruption. It can be set into a 50 mm pit for a flush finish, or surface-mounted with a threshold or ramp where excavation isn’t possible. All electrics are integrated into the unit, removing the need for a separate machine room or pump box.

As a modular system, the lift is delivered with its own shaft and can usually be installed within just a few days. Entrances can be configured on one, two, or three sides, making it highly adaptable to different floorplans and layouts.

Why Choose Gartec for Compact Home Access

Every Aritco HomeLift Access is supplied with a 5-year parts warranty, covering the lift in full. The patented screw and nut assembly also carries a 10-year warranty, reflecting its long-term reliability.

With over 30 years of experience, we are recognised as the UK’s leading supplier and installer of platform lifts. Our nationwide service team offers a range of maintenance plans, so homeowners can keep their lift safe, efficient, and dependable year after year. Combined with our award-winning reputation for customer care, we provide excellent products backed up by unbeatable service.

We had a limited budget and Gartec worked out the very best option and price for us, they ensured we got the correct people involved regarding the design of the hole for the lift to travel through, and we duly placed the order. We had some misgivings about what we ordered as we were concerned about how it would look when it was installed and how obtrusive it would be, indeed we decided to amend the order so the lift had glass sides and wow! How glad we are that we did. The communication was first class all through and the aftercare has been very good.

I examined the market for a suitable lift for our premises, and Gartec had a lift that would fit into our small bar area and would not be too obtrusive, hence making contact and requesting someone visit to look at the site and advise on the best option for us, we are a grade 2 listed building and were having problems getting the planning permission for the lift to be installed where it would serve us best, Gartec made contact and arranged to visit us. Gartec was very professional and most helpful, and much more interested in getting it right for us than any of the other suppliers.

The cricket club is currently being used as a COVID vaccination centre and the lift is essential for those of limited mobility. Hence it was important to get the work done as soon as possible and on a day when the centre wasn’t in use.  We’re very grateful for the swift response from Gartec, the service engineer was also very competent and helpful.

“We turned to Gartec, and their innovative moving floor design. It was an attractive and successful option taking only 6 days to fit. The safety features include a remote lock and a Smart app operation from an iPhone, so parents can ensure no trapped fingers  or ‘junior joyriding’ – perfect for a family house. We have been impressed with both the product and professional installation, and would certainly consider Gartec again for another Octagon home.”


Anton Dummer, Octagon Developments

“Both our Architect and Building Manager found Gartec Home professional, organised and proactive, and the installation process went smoothly. All the people my husband and I have dealt with have been helpful, and any queries dealt with quickly. The end result is totally integral to the build and reflects the modern architectural style.”


Hazel Coomber, Brentwood

“I would like to say that everyone at Gartec has been very helpful. The lift is my lifeline and enables me to live here.”


Barbara, Stourbridge

“The Gartec Home team were friendly and knowledgeable, they kept me informed and even tidied everything up at the end!”


Mary Jones, Abingdon

“Gartec offered a quick turnaround using a high-quality lift solution. It was important to have lifts that would complement the design and quality of the rest of the houses. The Gartec lifts offered this and only required a short installation period carried out by two friendly engineers. I am pleased with the overall look of the lifts installed and they will contribute to the townhouses being desirable to a bigger market. We look forward to working together again.”

FAQs


 

Can I customise the finish?

Yes. Options include Traffic White as standard or a full RAL colour palette, clear or tinted glazing, a choice of vinyl or Bolon flooring, and even DesignWall panels with Scandinavian artwork.

Do I need a pit or machine room?

No separate machine room is required. The Aritco HomeLift Access is fully self-contained. It can be recessed into a 50 mm pit for a flush finish, or installed directly onto the floor with a threshold or ramp where excavation is not possible, keeping building work to a minimum.

Can a wheelchair and carer travel together?

Yes. Larger platform sizes are available with capacities of 410 kg or 500 kg, making it possible for a wheelchair user and carer to travel together comfortably. The 500 kg options require a three-phase power supply but provide the greatest internal space and lifting capacity for shared journeys.

How does the alarm and phone system work?

A telephone handset is supplied as standard which can either be connected to a GSM with a SIM card, or in areas of poor signal, using a digital line via the router.

As an option the phone can be replaced with an auto-dialler that can be pre-programmed with up to five numbers, automatically cycling through them if the first goes unanswered.

The auto-dialler is activated by depressing the alarm button for 10 seconds.

An external alarm sounder is fitted for added safety.

What happens in a power cut?

The lift is fitted with battery-operated emergency lowering. If mains power fails, the system ensures the platform can be driven safely to the nearest floor. From inside, a user simply continues to press the button, and lift will descend to the next floor. With external assistance the lift can be driven up or down to the nearest floor.

On arrival, the lift goes out of service until the power is restored. A Battery Guard protects charge levels so that power is always available when needed, giving peace of mind during unexpected outages.

Can it be installed outdoors?

Yes. The HomeLift Access is available in an outdoor version with C5-rated guide rails for corrosion protection. These models require a roof and ventilation fans as standard, with a canopy to shield doors and an optional heater for cold weather.

Note: These are only suitable where the lift serves an external to external environment.
