All people- and goods-moving requirements within the eco-leading Scarlet Hotel in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, have been met with the installation of two Stannah lift products.

An 8-person Maxilift MXL hydraulic passenger lift and a 250kg Trolleylift serve the six staggered terraces that comprise this 37-bedroom haven of ‘green’ tranquillity and relaxation.  Built into the hillside with a curvilinear profile that blends with and enhances its setting, this ultra-chic retreat has optimised accessibility and streamlined service so that everyone can fully appreciate the location and surroundings which include: panoramic views of the bay through picture windows at all levels; individual art and sculpture in key public areas; colourful furnishings that contrast with cool slate floors and abundant natural wood; the finest, locally-sourced, organic food served within a sumptuous restaurant; an Ayurvedic spa to pamper the most indulgent of luxury-lovers.

Finished in complementary blue laminate with a wood-effect floor, the MXL passenger lift is a motor room-less model that houses the hydraulic drive system within the lift shaft and the controller in any of the landing architraves. This flexibility saves on space and cost, making it the ideal choice for any eco-conscious enterprise. The MXL is the deluxe model in the Maxilift range of passenger lifts and, as with all Stannah passenger lifts, helps premises’ owners meet with DDA requirements for access for people of all mobility levels.

The Trolleylift is a rugged service lift that loads from floor level. The landing entrances are protected by a single, hinged, steel door with grey baked-enamel finish, and a concertina shutter-leaf gate with a galvanised finish. All doors have safety locks to comply with safety regulations. Supplied in a structure-supported frame, the lift does not require a separate motor room or load-bearing lift shaft.  It is easily and swiftly installed with the minimum of builder’s work and helps premises’ owners meet the requirements of the Manual Handling Regulations.  This through-car model is ideal for the reliable, efficient movement of larger loads such as luggage, laundry and supplies in this deceptively busy environment.

Scarlet Hotel General Manager, Nikki Broom, comments: “The Scarlet Hotel is a sanctuary of peace and sustainable opulence.  Every care has been taken to enhance customer and staff comfort, including the provision of a luxury passenger lift and a trolleylift.  These reliable Stannah lift products will discreetly improve our service and help us maintain the safe movement of people and goods.”
