External panoramic lift handed over at a Chernivtsi heritage site

We have handed over a project that took us two years: in the courtyard of the Chernivtsi Regional Administration at 1 Hrushevskoho St., our external Izamet panoramic lift stands in a glass shaft by the wall of the heritage building.

You cannot put a lift inside a monument of national significance, so it stands in the courtyard. We set the shaft on its own piles: a metal frame, glass over four floors and a roof on top. It puts no load on the old wall and is attached to it only by point fixings.

The work was done in two stages, under contracts from 2024 and 2026: foundation piles, the pit, a glazed steel-frame shaft, doors in place of windows on three floors, lift installation, electrical work and commissioning. The 630 kg lift with a speed of 1.0 m/s serves four floors.

Now the top floor of the administration building can be reached in a wheelchair, and no one has to ask for help on the stairs.

If you have a protected heritage building with the same kind of stairs, write to us: we will arrange the design and approvals, build the shaft and install the lift ourselves.
