This included the design, construction and installation of a new lift in the kitchen, upgrading the existing birdcage heritage lift, and replacing an old hydraulic goods lift with a new, modern goods lift.Modernisation sales engineer Warren Williams says the goods lift provided a major challenge. View of lifts in the renovated historic Sydney Town Hall engineered and designed by Liftronic "We had to work within strict heritage constraints in addition to dealing with irregular shaft sizes and other engineering inconsistencies," he says.To resolve these issues, Liftronic's engineering team designed a bespoke product. Engineering adjustments were made to a single door opening to avoid interfering with the heritage staircase.For the birdcage lift, all the original button panels were kept to meet heritage requirements. The goods lift has a stainless steel interior, with timber panelling on the outside walls that had to be preserved. Throughout the project, Liftronic's construction management team, headed by operations director Kevin Addison, liaised closely with the architects, builders and the Town Hall.
