Liftout Ltd

09/06/2026

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately, and that’s for a good reason.

The team at Liftout has been fully immersed in a busy period of ongoing projects, with a strong workload keeping our engineers and support staff focused on delivering safely, efficiently, and professionally across multiple sites throughout the UK.

While we haven’t been posting as regularly, it’s very much been business as usual behind the scenes. From detailed planning and logistics through to escalator installations, escalator and lift removals, heavy plant installation and removal, escalator modifications, servicing, maintenance, and repair works, our teams have been working tirelessly to deliver successful outcomes for our clients.

To give you an insight into what we’ve been up to, here are some recent photos from our Escalator Division showcasing a range of works, including:

🔹 Escalator Installations
🔹 Escalator Removals
🔹 Escalator Modernisations & Modifications
🔹 Service & Maintenance Works
🔹 Breakdown & Repair Activities

We’re incredibly proud of the commitment, professionalism, and expertise demonstrated by our teams during this busy period and would like to thank our clients, suppliers, and partners for their continued support and trust.

We look forward to sharing more project updates and behind-the-scenes content as we continue to grow and deliver across the lift, escalator, and heavy plant sectors.

Project Complete.

Successful removal of a 2-stop, 3200KG express goods lift featuring vertical bi-parting landing doors.

This complex decommissioning required detailed planning and precision ex*****on, utilising a shaft scaffold installation enabling the controlled removal of heavy-duty components between floors. Every stage was delivered with strict adherence to safety, structural integrity, and programme efficiency.

A technically demanding strip-out completed seamlessly by industry specialists.

Job Awarded! - Marlowe House, Sidcup

We’re pleased to share that Liftout has been awarded the lift de-commissioning works at Marlowe House, Sidcup.

While we’re fortunate to receive purchase orders regularly, this one really stands out for us. This will be the third time Liftout has de-commissioned lifts within this building since the company was founded back in 1990, with our previous visit dating back to 2008.

Marlowe House has been a Metropolitan Police building since 1966, and returning once again is something we’re genuinely proud of. Repeat work over decades like this is a strong reminder of the long-term trust our clients place in us and the consistency of our team’s expertise.

A great win, a historic site, and another chapter added to a long-standing relationship.

We’re proud to share the successful replacement of X2 escalators for our good client Jackson Lift Group at Trinity Walk, Wakefield.

This was a full turnkey operation, delivered from start to finish by the Liftout Escalator Division, covering removal, installation, coordination, and handover to ensure minimal disruption and a smooth transition back into service.

A big thanks to Jackson and the Trinity Walk team for the continued trust and great collaboration throughout the works. Projects like this are a perfect example of what can be achieved with clear planning, teamwork, and experienced engineers on site.

Our scope included full planning and ex*****on:
✔️ Supplying all plant, lift plans, method statements and fully qualified NVQ Level 3 engineers
✔️ CPCS lifting supervisor & slinger support throughout
✔️ Soft-stripping each escalator in situ — handrails, profiles, glass balustrades, skirting panels and steps removed
✔️ Full lifting setup across multiple floor levels including A-frame gantries and 110v hoists
✔️ Safely lowering each truss to ground floor from bottom up
✔️ Cutting each unit into 3 manageable sections ready to process and remove from site during night works

A challenging multi-level project in a busy central London environment, delivered safely, efficiently and on schedule by the Liftout team.

Proud of the engineers, supervisors and labour who made this happen 👏
