Caredesign's new lift mechanisms for free standing worktops

New lift mechanisms for freestanding worktops have been introduced by Enware Caredesign to enhance the home and workplace independence of people of different stature and physical capabilities

The functional, robust and elegant mechanical and electrical lifters from the globally respected Pressalit range complement Caredesign’s existing ranges of height-adjustable modular lifters for wall-mounted kitchen worktops and cupboards.

The new lifters for free-standing surfaces – adjustable over 300mm and supporting lengths up to 3000mm – fit most standard types of worktop and are ideally suited both to new construction and to conversions and renovations

The easy-to-install lifters can be used in rooms where walls or configurations may not be suitable for wall-mounted lifters, expanding the range of applications in which lifters can be installed to cater for needs of groups such as older people, children, kitchen workers, the physically handicapped and their carers.

New applications facilitated by the free-standing worktop lifters range from private, care facility, communal and training kitchens, through to boardrooms, classrooms, laboratories and medical, commercial and industrial applications.

The unique lifts - stylishly contained within telescopic legs - enable people of different stature and physical capabilities to adjust the height of worktops and cupboards so they can carry out as many functions as possible without assistance, whether standing or seated. They help enable people with different capabilities to work together comfortably at the same time.

The broad Pressalit Care support system - of which the new height adjustable lifts are part – helps break down barriers for people who might benefit from some support but who are alienated by the prospect of care products that are institutional in appearance and cumbersome to install and use. 

The modular lifts can be incorporated into a virtually limitless range of standard and custom-fabricated cupboards and worktops, permitting professional and private users to combine them with the furniture of their choice, taste and professional requirements. They can comply with both OHS and personal needs without needing to have any institutional feel at all.

The Pressalit Care system incorporates both kitchen products and a complete range of bathroom products, including manually or electrically actuated adjustable basins and toilet brackets, raised toilet seats, adjustable change tables, support arms, seats, storage containers, modular shelves and baskets, handrails, curtain rails, shower rails, corridor rails, shower heads and tapware.
