Client
When Cobie Loubser was creating his new veterinary practice in Eastbourne, he was keen to achieve an exceptional finish throughout. His chosen location for Cobie VetCare near the town’s Enterprise Centre had the required space but he felt it extremely important to provide easy and comfortable access to the practice for his clients and their pets too. Whilst the entrance is on the ground floor there are a few steps, which Cobie knew could be troublesome for older, larger dogs.
Having seen a platform lift in use before, he knew that this would be an economical solution to easing the entrance problem. An internet search brought him to Evolifts, which he selected on the basis of the lift quality and aesthetics. In collaboration with his architect, Cobie was careful to specify a lift that would be strong and sturdy – he wanted to be confident that it would not jolt or wobble, which dogs can find unsettling. At the same time, they didn’t want a lift that would overwhelm the entrance hall aesthetically, or be problematic to use or maintain.
Solution
An EVO350 Open Access Short Rise Platform Lift was installed in Cobie VetCare’s entrance hall to improve accessibility. With a rise of up to three metres and little or no alterations required for installation, this platform lift is a fast and simple access solution with low maintenance and running costs too. The EVO350’s stainless steel finish with polycarbonate infill panels and high quality manufacture creates an excellent first impression. But it’s tough too, with a 500kg lifting capacity, integral ramp and anti-slip flooring, it is designed and built for internal and external applications.
Cobie Loubser from Cobie VetCare commented: “I was creating a high quality finish for my new business and this lift could be no exception, both technically and aesthetically. Although I knew what I was looking for, it was extremely important to me to choose a quality lift that I could be confident would stand up to the job for many years. I looked at a couple of lift companies but ultimately chose the product that felt solid, robust and dependable. I found Evolifts’ technical specifications online extremely helpful and the whole process was straightforward and professional throughout - everything went very smoothly. Although I have only just launched the business, I have already had feedback from clients who say they are impressed by the inclusion of the lift. I would have no hesitation in recommending Evolifts to others.”
