Lift in an Old Apartment Building

This is a beautiful installation of a Kalea A4 Primo lift in an old apartment building, situated in Salins-les-Bains, in the Jura region in France. Thanks to the simple design and glazed lift shaft, the lift becomes an attractive architectural feature that works well with the old charm of the building. Yet another successful lift installation by Kalea partner AAM.

High Lift with 4 Stops

This screw-driven platform lift serves 4 stops and has more than 10 metres travel, but that is no problem for the Kalea A4 Primo. In fact, the Kalea A4 Primo can easily manage a travel of 15 metres and 6 stops.

Reduced Lift Pit

The Kalea A4 Primo can actually be installed without a lift pit and then a simple access ramp is provided. In this case, the lift has a shallow pit of just 5 centimetres, so that the lift floor is perfecty flush with the old cobble stone floor.

Few Fixing Points

Thanks to the space-efficient design, low lift pit and few fixing points, the lift integrates seamlessly with the old building. Kalea provides fixing brackets suitable for most standard lift installations, but what we see here is a customised fixing solution, adding just enough stability to the lift shaft. Discreet and elegant.

Wheelchair Accessible Lift

Thanks to the generous platform size of the lift, the old apartment building is fully accessible to people in wheelchairs. The lift also makes it easy to transport groceries, prams, boxes and furniture, which is a great everyday comfort to the people living in the charming old apartment building.

A Great Lift for Old Buildings

Thanks to the smart and space-saving construction of the lift, it was possible to preserve the charming details of the building, such as the ornamented railings and old floors, with only minimal intervention.

Glazed Lift Shaft

Except for a small portion above the door on the bottom floor, the lift shaft is fully glazed. It is possible to glaze all four sides of the lift shaft of most Kalea platform lift models. Glazing not only looks beautiful, it also allows a maximum of light into the lift and stairwell.
