Custom Flex-e DDA Glass Lift | South Melbourne
Precision Engineering Meets High-End Architecture
At Direct Lifts Australia, we specialize in transforming accessibility into a design feature. Our recent installation in South Melbourne showcases how a compliant DDA solution can be seamlessly retrofitted into a premium commercial entrance.
The Project Overview
The goal was to provide an elegant, transparent access solution for a high-traffic lobby refurbishment. The lift needed to be retrofitted into the existing staircase layout while adhering to a strict, custom color palette.
Our Solution: The Flex-e DDA Lift
We utilized the Flex-e DDA, a versatile vertical platform lift known for its “ultra-low pit” and minimal footprint—making it the ideal choice for retrofitting into established concrete structures.
- Custom Dulux® Finish: To ensure a perfect match with the building’s bronze accents, this unit was finished in a custom Dulux powdercoat.
- Panoramic Glass Shaft: The 360° glass enclosure maintains the lobby’s open-plan feel and maximizes natural light.
- DDA Compliance: Fully compliant with NCC E3.6 and AS 1735.12, featuring tactile braille buttons and smooth screw-driven operation.
