Our Replacement Lifts for Commercial Buildings
Our replacement lift solutions feature two exceptional models designed to meet the needs of modern commercial properties. Each combines functionality, reliability, and efficiency, making them ideal for upgrading accessibility and compliance in your premises.
Aritco 9000
The Aritco 9000 is a cost-effective enclosed cabin lift that offers the familiar feel of a conventional passenger lift, making it a top choice for commercial environments. With a capacity of up to 400 kg (5 persons) and the ability to travel up to 13 metres across six stops, this lift provides smooth, quiet operation. Its compact design eliminates the need for headroom, a machine room, or a pump box, streamlining installation and saving space.
Commonly used in gyms, hospitals, retail spaces, and offices, the Aritco 9000 ensures a reliable and efficient solution for diverse settings.
Aritco PublicLift Access
For a versatile and highly customisable option, the Aritco PublicLift Access stands out as the preferred platform lift for public and commercial spaces. Offering multiple size and finish options, it integrates seamlessly into any environment, supporting wheelchair access and ensuring full compliance with accessibility standards. Its energy-efficient, self-contained design requires no machine room, making it quick and easy to install – often in as little as three days.
Popular in schools, office buildings, hospitals, and care homes, the PublicLift Access also includes an outdoor option with weatherproof features for external applications.
Tailored Lift Replacements for Every Space
We understand the unique demands of commercial industries, and deliver platform lift solutions that prioritise safety, compliance, and efficiency. We will help you to modernise your building and improve user experience with our trusted lift replacement services.

Key Benefits of BIM for Commercial Lift Projects
