Pool Lift brochure

I’ve worked in the disabled lift industry for thirty years and 14 years ago I
redirected my passion for providing access to those that need it most and
created The Pool Lift Company. The launch of our company coincided with
new laws to provide access for all (Equality Act). In the years that followed
we have become The Pool Lift specialists in disabled lift procurement and
installation. We have installed over 5000 lifts since our inception and boast
a hugely successful portfolio of award-winning work in many areas vital to
today’s society including; retail, health, education, rail, defence, commercial,
domestic and historical properties. Our product range offers a cost effective
solution to public access legislation including compliance with Part M. They
are designed and installed in accordance with the requirements of BS6440
and EN81-41.
Our European Head Office is in Andover, Hampshire and it is here that our
dedicated team look after all clients in the Northern Hemisphere. We also
have offices in London, Manchester and Glasgow and our overseas office in
Sydney, Australia looks after our clients down under!
I’m passionate about two things in this industry; firstly, I still enjoy providing
people with access to what the majority of us take for granted, and secondly,
delivering outstanding and innovative solutions whilst exceeding customer
expectations at every stage of every individual project.
Fortunately, this passion has rubbed off on our staff, resulting in a professional
workforce who recognise that gaining access to shops, offices, places of work
and individual homes can be a real problem for some and together we create
solutions to radically improve the everyday lives of so many.
There are many reasons to use The Pool Lift Company but what makes us
unique is the exceptional service we are able to offer because all of our
experts work for the Company. In-house, we have our own Draughtsman,
Estimators, Surveyors, Installers, Legal team and Accountants, so you can be
sure of an immediate response. We offer aftersales support for your lift and
are responsive and available nationwide ensuring your installation is protected
24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We look forward to working with you.

poolpod
Poolpod
®
provides dignified, independent
access to swimming pools. It is designed for
any swimmer who finds using a pool ladder
inappropriate and is set to revolutionise the
swimming experience for wheelchair users
and people with reduced mobility.
Developed for the Olympic Delivery
Authority and with financial support from
the London Marathon Trust, Poolpod offers
an independent swimming experience in
a package that also provides functionality,
reliability and value for money.
Upgrading swimming facilities with Poolpod
champions cutting edge, inclusive, human-
centred design and ensures that services are
appropriate for increasingly older populations.
Poolpod Pool Lift
The unique pivot arm design of the
Poolpod allows the platform to deploy in a
single motion. It takes approximately 20
seconds to lower to a 0.9m depth.
The lift remains level during its
deployment phase and remains clear of
the pool when stowed.
Touch sensors ensure the safety of other
pool users.
Hands-free operation
Poolpod is operated by RFID
proximity wristband.
Users operate the machine by
placing their wristband next to
the descent/ascent controls on
the Poolpod or Poolside Control
Station

Poolpod is powered by a safe, rechargeable
battery, allowing approximately 20 cycles
per charge. This, coupled with a robust
mechanical design, ensures access to the
pool is fast and reliable.
Ascent, descent and depth are user defined
using a button free RFID proximity wristbands.
Swimmers can choose to use the Poolpod
with the custom designed submersible
wheelchair or alternatively can remain
standing while they descend to a comfortable
water depth.
poolpodSubmersible Wheelchair
Built to the same exacting standards of the
Poolpod lift, the submersible wheelchair allows
a user to transfer from their own wheelchair to
the submersible wheelchair in the privacy of the
changing room.
Wheelchairs securely lock into the platform by
way of Poolpods’s clever castor fork design
accompanied by automatic closing of the
platform’s door.
Ease of installation
Installing a Poolpod necessitates two anchors for the
Poolpod and one for the Poolside Control Station. Anchor
installation requires drilling 20mm diameter holes 200mm
deep into the poolside and fitting wedge type anchors and
extenders.
M12 Stainless Steel Bolts are used to fix the Poolpod to the
anchors.
Poolpod can be easily removed from the poolside and
stowed remotely for events by pool staff.
The complete Poolpod system includes a pool attendants’
remote control, wall-mounted charging unit and
transportation wheels.
