The lifts are designed and manufactured in New Zealand and can be highly customised to suit the specific design and layout requirements of architecturally designed buildings. Powerglide’s system services up to four floors and meets the NZBC requirements for public disabled access transport in a commercial building. There is a range of models to cover the level of customisation required and Powerglide offer a full design support service to help designers incorporate the lifts successfully into their designs, ensuring a smooth process from design through to construction and lift installation.
