An Inclined lift is used like a conventional lift, but operates on an angled plane as opposed to within a vertical shaft.  All the installations shown on this page are located within the UK and operate on a daily basis.

The National Railway Museum, York
The remit was to design a scenic viewing platform whilst providing a means of transportation from ground floor to the workshop viewing gallery on the first floor of the new building. The lift carries up to 20 adults, operates with a balance weight and runs on a gradient of 32 degrees.

The Urbis Centre, Manchester
This design and installation won first prize in Elevator World's annual project of the year award competition. The award winning lift opened in June 2002 and forms the central attraction and visitor experience for Manchester's new landmark building the Urbis Exhibition Centre. The all glass 40-passenger lift services five floors whilst providing panoramic views of the Manchester skyline.

Blists Hill Victorian Town, Ironbridge, Shropshire
The location is on the site of an historically important industrial development and the overall design of the passenger car reflects that of the original Hay Incline boat transporter; the rails for which still survive on site.  The 40-passenger Inclined Lift takes visitors from the canal level at the top of Blists Hill to the lower part of the town.  The speed of the 26kw rope drive is contolled by an inverter and a regen unit.  As there is no balance weight the energy stored in the descending car drives the motor as a generator and the regen unit returns the power to the main supply.
