The Butler proves the shortest way between two levels is not always the stairs.
More and more people are thinking about adding some luxury and comfort into their homes. Now Access BDD brings you an affordable way of overcoming the burden of climbing the stairs whilst also increasing the value of your property. A whole new way of improving the quality of life without the need for major building alterations or the installation of an expensive traditional elevator.
The Butler is a homelift, specially designed to fit inside your home. Butler is self standing and comes with its own enclosure so no special shaft or building work is necessary. No pit is required but where possible, a 50 mm recession is advised. The lift can operate through floors. The entrance and exit doors are at the same side.
A brief description.
The Butler has proven to be a very safe design and meets the demands of today. Butler is a platform lift, a shaft and an engine room all in one, making installation simple, without requiring any major structural alterations or drastic architectural adaptations. The special lifting ring system makes the lift silent in operation and can go up to 9 metres in height. The standard carrying capacity is 225 kg and the operating speed is 0.15 m/s.
Features
For every type of building
The moving platform is enclosed on all sides so there is no danger to other people in the vicinity. Above all, a lift should be pleasant to use and should integrate with the building design. The Butler has an open character with optional glass walls or additional glazed door panels creating a feeling of spaciousness and comfort, despite the modest dimensions.
Easy to use - no special operator
Operation is safe and easy, requiring no special training or attendant control. Additional security locking is available when required by the owner - for instance to prevent unauthorised use. The lift is called by push button. The platform features a light and a permanently illuminated instrument panel, with clear operating instructions and is located within every passenger's reach. Door opening may be power assisted whilst the doors are self closing, as standard.
Installation - little construction work, little disturbance
Because an engine room or deep pit is not necessary, the Butler can be installed with a minimum of construction or structural disturbance. Although built on a self supporting frame a limited amount of wall fixing is necessary, for stability. The lift is usually shipped partially assembled and all components are equipped with convenient assembly features. Butler is easy to assemble on-site and usually fits into an existing space, such as a corner or in the space adjacent to the staircase.
Your safety
All our lifts, large and small, satisfy the most demanding safety requirements. The Butler is designed to satisfy relevant European safety regulations as a matter of course. Our safety measures include a lift platform constructed from high-quality steel, equipped with anti-slip mat and safety edges which stop the lift if they meet an obstruction. The Butler only moves if destination buttons are being pressed and runs at a steady, controlled speed. The operating panel features an alarm button and emergency lighting. Furthermore the Butler has an emergency lowering system, whereby in case of a power failure the user is always able to go down by pushing the buttons.
Finishing touches
Doors, doorposts and shaft are all painted in white powder coating. Doors are delivered with large glass panels as standard. Glazed panels can also be fitted to the shaft sides. Other options include:
- Automatic door openers
- Key controls on doors and platform
- Telephone on platform
- Glass panels on long and/or short side of shaft
