June 2009.

Pierce’s Grain Store, Paul’s Quay, Wexford town has seen the installation of the tallest platform lift in Ireland. The travel was a few centimetres under the 13m maximum allowed by law which was recently increased from 9m. Our A-Type lift was the first lift on the market to take advantage of this change and as a result we could supply the perfect solution.

The Grain Store is a listed building and it was not possible to install a passenger lift. The design of the A-Type, which has a fully self-supporting shaft, enabled Premier to provide a solution that not only enabled full access of the building but also minimised impact to the surrounding structure.

The ceiling heights were on the whole very low and this required Premier to fabricate custom height doors and frames on the majority of floors.

Our installation has enabled every part of the building to be fully wheelchair accessible with a fully Part M compliant solution.
