Inclined lifts for public sites
Create an accessible link across difficult levels while integrating passenger flows, operations and the surrounding public realm.
- Use, accessibility and passenger flows defined in the briefDeveloped for the actual terrain and pattern of use
- Technical and civil interfaces coordinated with the project teamDeveloped for the actual terrain and pattern of use
- Commissioning and long-term maintenance planned from the outsetDeveloped for the actual terrain and pattern of use
Access on sloping ground
The route, cabin and landings are developed around the people and the place.
The first assessment considers the vertical rise, alignment, levels to connect, obstacles, site access and likely frequency of use. This establishes whether an inclined lift is appropriate and what information is needed next.
F. Labbé coordinates the metalwork, mechanics, stations and interfaces with the surrounding civil and landscape work through installation and commissioning.
Project stages
From feasibility to long-term operation.
A successful installation begins with accurate site information and continues with proper access for inspection and maintenance.
- 01
Initial feasibility
Site, route, use and access are reviewed from drawings, photographs and survey information.
- 02
Design development
Cabin, guideway, landings, controls, safety provisions and civil interfaces are coordinated.
- 03
Manufacture and installation
The equipment is produced, assembled on site and adjusted in its operating environment.
- 04
Commissioning and maintenance
Testing, handover and an appropriate maintenance programme support reliable operation.

Include the location, approximate rise, levels to connect and intended users. Photographs and topographical information are particularly helpful.
