Since 2000, we have built strong partnerships with educational establishments throughout Lincolnshire and the surrounding area. Our team understands the unique needs of school environments, from safeguarding requirements to term-time constraints and budget considerations.
Our advisors assess each facility individually. They recommend solutions that work for your building layout, student needs, and educational activities. With years of experience, we know how to deliver installations that enhance accessibility while maintaining safety standards.
Your students with complex needs may require assistance with personal care and changing. Our hoists provide safe transfer solutions in school care suites and changing facilities.
Ceiling hoists can be installed in specialist care rooms and accessible changing areas. Mobile hoists offer flexibility for different care scenarios. Both systems include appropriate slings and accessories for school use.
Steps and thresholds throughout your school create barriers for wheelchair users and students with mobility aids. Our ramp systems provide safe access to classrooms, libraries, dining halls, and outdoor areas.
Internal ramps handle doorway access and level changes between different building sections. External ramps provide access to playgrounds, sports facilities, and temporary classrooms. Each ramp meets safety standards and accessibility guidelines.
Schools with special educational needs facilities may require specialist mobility equipment. Our range includes equipment designed for students with varying abilities and support needs.
Equipment selection considers the specific needs of your student population and the training requirements for support staff. Safety features are enhanced for environments where students may need additional protection.
School environments require comprehensive emergency planning. Our equipment includes safety features designed for educational settings, including emergency stop systems and backup power options.
Emergency procedures are developed specifically for your school environment and student population. Staff training covers normal operation and emergency scenarios to ensure student safety at all times.
